dont EVER start making knives...never ever. you will always be broke from buying steel and belts and wierd little things that cost all kinds of money and serve no useful purpose except in a knife shop...and worst of all....for that rare day....once in a great while...when you have a few extra bucks, you will walk into the tool store that youve been going to forever to get band saw blades and they will be going out of business and will have ALL their burr kings on sale for 10% over cost and you will come home and spend the next 18 hours hustling your kid and all his friends and all of yours to get the money to go buy one of those beauties. yikes....i am a tool junkie. i need heeeeeelllllpppp....

Yeah, get me one too. If only you'd given me this advice the last time I visited your shop!

, doesn't that rhyme with drools? Which is what my wife says I do around tool shops, knives, gadgets, ect.

actually...i have to disagree with that... when you die you dont win anything and your kids get all your tools and sell them for 10 cents on the dollar so they can get a big screen tv. Im looking unto Jesus..the author and finisher of my faith to make me a winner.

Yeah, but everytime you put one of your knives into a youngster's hands and see the look on his face, the way his eyes light up, and his chest puff out, all that money just doesn't matter. It doesn't get any better than that, and money can't buy the pleasure of making that youngster's day, week, year.

Once again, Tom is right. In a weak moment last week, I ordered a variable speed Hard-Core grinder. One good thing is that the "missus" still talks to me and we aren't living on beans and rice yet. It seems like I make knives just to support the habit of collecting more neat tools. I definitely can't afford to quit my day job!
