Pictures of my first home/hand made knife. What do you think?

That is awesome. I wish I had access to a machine shop. I did a lot of research on where to by poly wheels & contact wheels with key ways or set screws. Here are some links I came up with for where to buy wheels since I'm not going to be able to make my own. Ill leave a list of links below. Are you going to use pullys or direct drive with variable speed control. And also any ideas on motor size? I'm thinking at least 2HP.

Great job man!!! I know all about the cramped hands from the files :) Did you make the paper micarta scales?
 
I ordered a 1 1/2" x 10" x 3/8" block of paper micarta & cut it in half diagonally. Then I shaped it to fit my hand.
One of these days when I get a chance I'm gonna post some drawings of design ideas Ive got and I'm going to make a video of edge retention tests of this blade. So keep an eye out for that.
