Hey guys, looking for some help. I want to make a knife soon and was wondering where to get a beveling jig? I have limited tools right now. Here is a rundown on what I have right now.
A workbench 3 ft long up against a wall there are no corners to it, hard to explain but I only have the top surface and a flat face.
A drill press, very very old but work decent.
A vice that swivels, medium sized cheap quality about 4-5 in clamp space.
A bench grinder, It needs new wheels but I dont know which ones to get.
An angle grinder or disc grinder? Hand held makita with discs for cutting wheels or sandpaper.
A Lansky sharpening kit from very coarse to fine.
Safety equipment, gloves, glasses, clothing that cant get caught up or catch fire etc.
So down to business, I want to making a knife I can use in the kitchen, its going to be simple, stainless steel dont know which kind yet. I dont want it to be fancy but to work well and look clean, like a nice quality knife. I will send it off to be heat treated. What else should I get and where do you guys get your supplies from. I researched a lot on this website but there are so many different things to get it is just overwhelming.
Things I know I need.
Some files
Bevel jig, because i dont have a sanding machine I want to do it by hand.
Lots of sandpaper up to a very fine grit.
The steel.
Im probably forgetting a bunch of things so anything you guys can help me with will be appreciated and I will respond to the thread with anything else you need to know, Including pictures of my setup etc. Thanks!
