Hi Everyone,
I am new to the forum, i actually all of a sudden got crazy about knife making since last 4 month without any knowledge, first i purchased a bench stone wheel grinder then a drill machine, then i made a coal forge, after that i bought metal band saw and mig welder in my life i have never thought that 1 day i will be welding steel, then i made a 2x72 belt grinder and i was really happy by working on my own handmade belt grinder it was a success and it really encouraged me, then i made a power hammer it actually took 21 days to complete then again with success he power hammer work fine i was really encouraged by my work then i bought a 10x22 lathe and a vertical tiltable drill mill machine and DRO 3 axis for drill mill and 2 axiz for lathe, then i made a hydraulic press and it is a great success it has 5" cylinder and 2" Ram with 5.5hp 1490rpm 3phase motor, and the pressure i get is 3000 psi, now i am willing to make some cable damascus and some 1095x1050x15n20 billet.
I have created my album having the images for all my machine which i have made with some knifes, I have come here to get some knowledge from the experts to guide me to the right direction.

Welcome to Bladeforums!

What you need is our Shop Talk forum, so I moved this for you.
 
Looks to me you are far more than just "handy" with tools. I will be looking to see some of your knives. You certainly show a lot of discipline in your tool building ! Welcome !
