No. 38 - Scagel Repro; First Rotary Platen Project

Y'all sure know how to make a man feel good! That was a fun knife to make, moreso than usual. Naturally I'll try more, but somehow the first :D is always the most memorable. Hee hee.

Dan, there have been a lot of threads about the rotary platen, you can also check Rob's website, Beaumont Metal Works , there's a picture of one mounted on a BIII on the front page. Probably more about it inside too.

It's a fantastic piece, I used almost every aspect of it on this knife - short and long spans, the small wheel, you name it. In fact, the only other grinding I did on this knife was with a 5/8" wheel.

Just a cool tool, I love it.

Dave - finally, I understand. It seemed like the holy grail for awhile there...:rolleyes:

That looks like an awesome attachment. Just looking at gives me all sorts of ideas...:D:D
