What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

Washburn WI-66v, how I miss thee. But that's not my love any more.
 
Skinniest Fat Bowie. Lightning fast, cut like a chainsaw and effortless penetration. Going to be a super fun, useful, interesting and unique knife. But what's the point?

Thank you. Gonna heat it up with some firedog.

And about the residual indignation that might be detectable in that post: I don't care that he criticized my design choices in the other thread. It's more that he didn't think to introduce himself in any kind of polite manner and instead came across as superior and putting others down, including those who liked the design. I think it's out of my system now.

It would if I had a variable speed grinder.



I hope you're keeping her away from Damage Inc. and Leper Messiah.



Very fabricky. But not hard like steel, so it won't break away substrate the way steel does to reveal sharp substrate underneath. Instead it just loads. That's why I torture myself by using worn ceramic belts for the rough shaping. I could keep ordering the open coat belts that are right for the job, but even these get consumed fast by the blue Micarta, and the time it saves me is not really enough to justify buying the belts at this time. If it made a difference in final product, maybe but I would rather spend an extra few minutes on the knife, than the extra cash if time is the only consideration.



Don't have an air compressor. Rubber only goes so far. They are great for G10 on AO belts, but good luck getting that blue off the ceramic with anything short of a chemical deep clean. Which is not worth the time.
