Here’s some pics of the transition from storage space to workshop. I’m over half way there.

Starting point:

Starting to place items in a way that supports workflow.

There is an ongoing process. Every free minute over the past couple months has been getting this set up. Now with the social distancing, I will accelerate the setting up of the space. I made a new belt rack on wheels, and have built a very heavy duty with table for the groups. I still have to move and place the mill, both lathes, and the jointer. 1000sqft isn’t enough room. I could have easily used 1500sqft.

This little guy is Gunther. He’s 200lbs now. As he’s getting older, he’s gained 10 lbs of extra weight due to his arthritis. He’s turning seven this year. He’s a brindle a European Great Dane.

that’s my other hobby business. I repair and build guitars and basses.

Nope, just hand sanded.
I bought it from a French woods dealer on a knife show. Should have gotten more at the time.
If you want I'll look up his website.

Haven’t forged in weeks and weeks, been working on high alloy stock removal blades. The last few days I forged out 9 blades

heat treated them this evening. By eye in a forge and quenched in water. Crazy talk I know

[Natlek]

5160 ,4mm distal taper blade on 17 inch contact wheel and about 0.3mm. where caliper is located ..... it will cut , I hope

Finally I found one old piece of leather to make one sheath......second one .

 

[Natlek]

Guys , I soak in water this one for forming and now it is hard like steel ? How i would bring back softness ?

 

[A.McPherson]

Hey Netlek,
I use saddle soap, a product made by "kiwi" brand show shoe polish. Mink oil is a good option too I think, but @Horsewright would be the one to ask about this for sure!!

 

[Willie71]

A few supersteels in the works.
