    Helping Out Terry & Anne With A Classic Saw Raffle

    John, if you have your heart set on one of my string cutters, and miss out on it, I might be willing to swap one for that P62 of yours...... LOL If you ever make another slug knife, that would work too.

    Helping Out Terry & Anne With A Classic Saw Raffle

    My personal edc knife is either a spyderco delica or an older american made schrade 6-OT (buck 110 copy). I have and like opinels, but they are a bit bulky for me to carry around all the time. Sure take a good edge though.

    Helping Out Terry & Anne With A Classic Saw Raffle

    Thought I would stop in here again. Been a while since I have been to this site... Really nice to hear what you guys think about my work! I have only done about 8-10 knives so far, but my general time spent in the blacksmith and metal shop has really let me pick it up quickly. Still working...

    I will give that a try! All I have that could work for Smoothing body filler are the old wood handle body files..... Any recommendations of must have body tools?

    Any thoughts on those 6" DA sanders for paint removal? Looking for something to take off a few layers of equipment paint off a tractor..... I was thinking one of those national Detroit DA units might be perfect?

    Morning guys. Dan, I see you found Ron's picture of Jimmy! Catching the ferry at 3 this afternoon... Back home to the island..... One more day off tomorrow, then back to school.... Thinking of getting out the lacquer thinner, varsol, and scrapers, and start getting the caked on grease off...

    Hey guys! Back home tomorrow! John, any recommendations on GOOD autobody hammers? The tractor project needs a lot of bodywork, and the chinese cast iron crap tools we have now really won't cut it..... The martins at KMS look nice, and are about $20 less than the snap ons.. I know from my...

    Morning guys. I have been thinking of doing some more cutaway engines? Did a cutaway lawn mower engine a few years back for a display at the local fair. People really liked that! Might sacrifice one of my old skilsaw chainsaws for it..... Probably their best use....... Sometime I would...

    Jerry, that sort of old school engine building is exactly what I am wanting to get into! Once I have got a truck, and some more money saved up, I might try and find a project car... Seen some 318 dodge darts around for not too much? Not the hottest engine stock, but from the reading I have...

    Jerry, did you ever play around with any of the big ford engines? Note, I am a bit long winded here, I put a condensed version down at the bottom... There are two engine builds I want to do someday. One is the 520ci BOSS nine stroker, the other is a 428 cobrajet. (find a set of heads, and...

    Grabbed a cp 875 mini angle die grinder yesterday, along with a roloc holder and some sanding discs, and scotchbright discs. Looks like a real nice unit! Should be great for removing paint and rust, and smoothing out small welds. I bet it will be real good for bodywork?

    Engine is surprisingly affordable! (compared to an original...) After pricing it all out, it should be possible to build that engine for about 12 thousand..... Thats with a top end kit from kasse, a junkyard 460 truck block, a bit of machine work, and myself doing all the assembly.
