Well Hello to all of you guys... I am affraid I have made a liar out of myself, I think the last time this restoration had anything new to report was in September. Wow, i cant believe its been 3.5 months since I was able to work on the Jeep. My little plan to make some "stuff" , sell it, and...

And the G.J. gains another valuable Shop thread! THANKYOU! JP

Thanks! JP

Those look great. Nice spacing on the twist work. Im gonna make a wrench like you posted. Thats an ingenious solution. Ive ruined a pair of tongs with the torque twisting generates so this might just be a good solution. by the way , The pirate Knife is awesome! . :) My nephew would love...

So with the hardening done I do the standard tempering at 500deg for 1.5hours x 2 after the final grinding I decided on the special laminate burl I had from a few months back for the "Shotgun Chef" and the order got the last of the exotic laminate. The Burl is comprised of Blue redwood burl...

So the other part of this order was a 8" chef knife. She wanted it rough forged with the Hunter Drop to the blade and a copy of the laminate handle I made for a knife a while back. Since this was to be a proper cooking knife I didnt contour the bottiom of the blade like I have done in the past...

Thanks Thomas! Appriciate it! Dont mind Aggie and I , we are **** retentive sons of ******* so untill the board is correct, to the micron, I dont think either of us would be happy. JP

Aggie, its not the "post **** and be praised journal" its the garage journal. Ive never been in a garage where making something better or more efficiently wasnt the task at hand. So criticism is expected. I am fully aware of the line up issues. Its wierd because i usually dont have...

Im pretty sure the PDF you sent will have the info I need. Thanks!! just in case Material - W-2 High carbon Steel temp - 1450(non magnetic or really freaking close to that) Quench medium - Water Thickness varies from 1/64 at edge to 1/32 maybe 1/8th inch up. (i dont have a micrometer so...

Now, these butcher blocks need to be seamless. Especially if they have been paid for and people are expecting a clean finished product. This one was fairly neat in the seams, but it had one corner that was really bad. Im always amazed at how an entire board can push together perfectly but one...
