You know.. I still am not sure what practice I like more.
I lean to engraving I think
I use an air powered graver
I did cost a lot more for me to buy it but I got several upgrades for it. It's made that money back ten fold
You sell on etsy or?
I don't have an etsy set up yet. Most of my orders come from my coworkers. I work on the pipeline so I meet a lot of guys with extra money to spend
Welder?
Welders helper right now. That's also why I bought a grinder instead of making one. It's kinda hard to build one while working 70 hours a week
You aint wrong there
What material do you use for the knives?
I typically use 1095 carbon steel for most of my stuff but I use a lot if recycled materials as well
why.. why 1095...
I find 52100, D2, O1 and VG-10 to be by far the best
52100 I think I use most
Yeah I've been giving other alloys a try... The main issue I have currently is time and storage space. Where do you get your steel?
Well its a long story that I cant really tell here due to dox but a lot can be found on ebay
I buy d2 and a bunch of O types from a few sellers on ebay. Nice stock in 3"x12' sections sell for around $300
thats 12' of O2 for $300 or less
Hmm ok I'll have to take a look and see what I can find
52100 can be found in bearings from just about anything. Tapered rollers are best tbh. There is already a nice start of an edge for hammer forging
Ok sure thing man. Thanks for the advice
some of my drawing
warframe? ooo
