Great work!

Started this a couple days ago. It's my first one. Been working on it between other projects. The steel is O1 tool steel. Blade 3-1/4" long and overall 7-1/4" long. The handle is kirinite (we can call it plastic if ya like). The handle pins are the permanent ones, they are just what I'm using to rough the handle scales in. I really debated on posting it or not cuz it doesn't look like much yet but it is a work in progress and we gotta keep this thread hoppin!

Wow wonderful work!

Aight, here it is. Still lots of room for improvement but I'm pretty happy with it for the first knife I've made. It dang sure got sharp enough to shave. I'll see how long it stays that way. Tomorrow I might go ahead and mirror polish the blade from bevels up to spine. Oh and yeah @blake711 I gotta get a scabbard built for it!

I decided on the Black Cherry stain. I guess it'll do for a 1st attempt.

Indian cedar boxes for my in-laws eagle feathers.

Really wanted to use eastern red cedar since they are from a tribe originally in the east. But it is unobtainium in OKC according to the biggest wholesale distributor that sells to every lumber yard in the city (according to him). So western red it is. Has some good tiger around the knots. Was going to use pure tung oil, but as much as this wood it soaked it up, it'd take probably 8 weeks or more to cure. So I made my own danish oil out of the pure tung I had on hand. It'll work.

Now to figure out what I want to do for the lids and whether I want to engrave the names or have them lasered.

Naw, but my wife is. Oddly I find native indian history more interesting than she does. Go figure.

Speaking of planers, this is the one I got off of @dlbleak, it's cleaning up fairly nice. Had some serious rust on the lift screws and hardware, so I just decided to make a project out of it since I have time on my hands. Now if the vinegar would just hurry up I could clear some ground on it.

You were about 1 minute or less ahead of me for claiming that. Looks like your doing it right and getting it back into service.

Yea, I needed one of these and the price was right!

I think it was setting outside for a time before being put on the trash pile Darren snatched it off of. It needs some TLC for sure, mostly rust on the steel lift bolts and all the screws. The feed roller chains were absolutely packed with chips when I took the cover off, I hope the drive gear in the motor housing isn't stripped, but they are in fine shape otherwise. The lift screw chains were basically pristine too. The four support/guide rods had bad rusting in spots. They got cleaned up and oxpho blued. The head was jammed on them and it took some kroil and awhile to get it worked free and to where it would lift up at all much less all the way due to the rust and grunge in the threads. It's like they never cleaned it and just chucked it when it jammed and they broke the handle trying.

The base got a hard cleaning with full strength simple green and has a new coat of paint but I didn't sand out the pitting, I figure it needs to keep some of the character like an old gun.

beardking I bet did not have any plans..he just grabbed some wood started cutting and stuck some screws into it and stepped back and said LOOK I MADE A CHAIR!

Nice chair

Nope, I always try to go by plans, whether I make them or get them from somewhere. Any time I try to do something without plans it seems to take me about 3/4 of a lifetime to get it done. [emoji38] [emoji38]
