My own website

Great looking site Bruce. Simple to find things and good photos. It's a definate winner. Anything you want to put up there...feel free. We could all use the free tips. When I say we...I mean ME.
;)
 
Real nice site Bruce - I look forward to seeing more pics of your beautiful knives.

Thanks Guys for all the great comments. Mitch Lum is in town for a wedding (not his) and made an appointment to shoot my shop pictures in the morning. Its a crowded shop but almost everything in it is knife related. He does good fast work and they should be up soon. Be sure to check in again.
 
Bruce I just keep going back to your site for inspiration. Can't wait to see your shop. Thanks for sharing this with us.
 
Burce: Good going. As far as tutorials go if you want to do one, then do it . Everyone has a different slant on doing just about everything. How about one on the Knife-Gun, I don't think anyone has done that yet.

Got home from Bruce's yesterday. I hope to have the shop pics up sometime this week! I'll fix some of the problems on the site you've pointed out!

Bruce, it was great visiting with you!

Bruce,

Congrats on the new site. Great knives make for pleasant browsing....And the ones on the site are great IMHO! But lauding your work is not news, now is it? ;) :rolleyes:

Re: email address. I recommend getting a secondary email address that is used strictly for the business.

IMO it should be something based on the BruceBumpKnives text string. It would be one more psychological repetition of your company's name into the brain of customers, collectors, friends, and prospective new BBK fans. Remember the response Mr Pavlov got from his dogs through repetitious conditioning? It works on humans too.

Mitch,

I looked at the HTML source code for each of Bruce's pages I visited. "THANK YOU SO MUCH!!" for keeping it simple, sleek, and fast. I've merely dabbled in programming HTML a bit so far, but found your code easy to read and understand. Kudos on your formatting of the code.

I connect via dial-up (as do over 50% of internet visitors IIRC), so elegantly quick pages that simply get the data onscreen in a hurry without wasting time with lots of useless, aggravating eye-candy are GREATLY appreciated. If I want eye-candy, I will intentionally go to graphics sites where the overhead is expected. FWIW, I spend up to sixteen or more hours online per day when I go off the deep end, so page loading speed is always an issue.

Ya done good, Bubba!! And thanks again.
 
cool site...and I really like the shoptour...that look like a monster homebuilt grinder....just how BIG is those belts???......most shops are pretty dirty ...your look fairly clean but I see on the first picture that you are ready to start growing stuff in there considering the gardentools.. :D
 
Looks nice!

One minor point but a bugaboo of mine is that when I go to save a link, I like what appears in my heading to be the logical heading. So I was saving your site in my file Fovorites that happens to be called "makers", as an extension of "Knives". What I get "brucebumpknives.com Welcome" That's the heading. Of course I can change it, and folks might have a number of things they would want the heading to say. Still I think it looks better for the site owner if this little detail reads something logical like Bruce Bump Knives.

Like I said, real micro.
 
Jens, I thought all shops had garden tools just inside the door. My roundup sprayer is there too.

That grinder takes both 72" and 132" belts. It has a 14" wheel with a VS 1hp. Pretty good grinder for a home built one. I still like the Burr King best. Im thinking about putting another idler on it so it will accept 132" belts too. If the motor ever goes bad on the burr king Im converting it to VS. Its 12 years old and still runs sweet. It may never quit.
