Still cleaning...
I decided on a 20' cargo container that was by the old shop. it was burnt too but not as badly and is pretty solid. I need to get it insulated/sheathed with some outer walls so it doesn't turn into a oven any day now but I'm happy to have it.
Once the shop is cleaned I have a mill and grinder to set up! I aso got a cnc router to cut scales for inset locks and maybe some inlays.
I'm about to heat treat some 15V Beta Titanium for the new run of knives, it is absolutely wild stuff with 15% Vanadium content.
The new router runs on Easel/open source and I already know the program. I already have some CAD ready to import once the router is set up! I only use it for composites/handle materials.
I'm skipping out on the bandsaw, buffer, tumbler and other stuff for now. Tools will be the Grizzly Mill, Knifedogs Grinder, Surface Grinder Attachment, Anolex CNC Router and that's almost it besides some hand tools like my scribes, 1-2-3 blocks etc. I still have a big surface plate. I'm getting away without any micrometers or calipers and will just use my spindle DRO to figure that out.
