Sunday's Grinding

[Justin King]

We all have our slow days
Seriously, you could sub out as a waterjet cutter and make good money working at that rate, Stacy. I bet a few guys struggling on their first blade profile could just about feel their eyes pop out of their head looking at that!

That's a good bunch right there.
So what did you do Sunday afternoon?

Holy Crap.....that's more grinding than I've done since I started making knives.....tremendous days work!!!

What are the specifics on the Cubitron 50 grit Stacy? I'm searching Jantz Supply and see they have at least 2 belt choices in 50 grit.....? http://www.knifemaking.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=cubitron


Thanks,

Bobby

Fine work, but you are putting the rest of us on a guilt trip.

Stacy, that really is amazing for one days work. I should fly you to Walla Walla for a day once a year.
Hey where did you buy the Cubitron 50 belt? I gotta get one of those.

Steven,
I don't want to start a knife kit company...there is already a good one - www.knifekits.com .
My use of the term, "Kits", was in reference to having a blank and some instructions with the option of adding a block of handle material ( to save some shipping expense).

What I wanted to offer was a step between a commercial knife kit and a plain bar of steel.

I will be glad to work with chaps, like yourself, where getting any supplies may be hard will be dealt with individually. I certainly can see the benefit of a bloke preferring only one box shipped from the US to down under, and would put together a more complete package for such a person. I do that all the time, anyway...might as well get a few dollars for it.

Got it, thanks Stacy

Will email you tomorrow to finally finalize my order, off to bed now.

Thanks,

Steve.

Stacy,

Are you getting all that belt life from the Yellow (967) or the Orange (977) Cubitron belts?

 

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

Yellow.
