Mods, Regrinds, Cerakote, and Sharpening

Well I just wanted to say that I appreciate everyone's patience w/ me during the move into the new shop. I am officially "in" and have a BUNCH of orders to catch up on hehe. I still have some finishing touches to put on, such as putting a few interior doors up and finishing out my paint room, but I am planning on doing that this week so I can take care of all of you who are on the Cerakote list. Anyway, here's an idea of what I have been working on over the past few months!! It is a huge and nice upgrade for me moving from an 8x16 enclose trailer into this 12x40 shop. I am very blessed.

Oh, and yes that 7.5HP air compressor weighs about 930 lbs lol, that's why I hired a moving company to move all the heavy stuff in! Wasn't worth a surgery ;)

Great shop! I can't wait to see my ZT-801! You're making it hard for me not to get a regrind and swedge.
 
Perfect shop bro, so nice and organized....wonder how long the 'organized' part will last!

Why no drywall?

Hahaha, maybe by the time I get this paint room done you will have made the extra cash lol! Nah, seriously though I got almost everything in for the paint room I just have to actually set it up now :/

I hope it lasts indefinitely... It is so much easier to stay organized when you have the room! Makes it easy to find stuff hehe. Didn't go w/ drywall because it cost more and it's just a shop and not needed. =) Haven't gotten your knife yet but I'll shoot you an email when it comes in!

This one in particular is one of my fav's on this thread. That thing is now a work of art. One of the best looking Tanto's I've seen.

I will be ringing Josh's bell here in the next couple of weeks for a blade I just ordered with a Tanto edge.
 
Before pics of the Busse AD I just dropped in the mail for Josh. It's pretty darn sharp right now but I want it thinned out a bit better so it looks sexy. I carry it too much for it to be non sexy.:)

^ you guys flatter me... you should stop! :welcoming: I'm always learning, and once in a while I have to replace a knife if something goes wrong, but I always seek to make it right and make my customers happy for sure. Biggest annoying thing for me when dealing w/ businesses is non-communication. So I try to always be available and responsive. And that was very kind of you to post that thread in the GBU Alex, thanks!

I'll see if I can't get it thinned down a bit but still leave it able to handle anything life throws at ya ;) I'm thinking probably what we set Alex's strider to... .023-.025" on the main edge and let it widen up a bit to .035" or so at the tip for prying strength. What edge angle is it at currently? Looks fairly low, which is good.
 
Man haven't had a ton of time to work on shop... :/ Got my air system up and running though, which is NICE!

Anyway, just finished up a few!
