Hi guys
Instead of starting a whole bunch of new threads every time i build/make something new, I thought i'd have one thread about my journey through the art of knife making. Anyone that would like a kick start in forging should look at my other thread "amature knifemaking", got me started and what a great help everyone on this forum has been in getting me started.
Special thanks to 7x57, HSO, messerist (and Bikerdoc for the support)and a few others.
Any way i took some advice and bought a Ryobi 1500wat table saw. Man, am i happy. Got it set up yesterday and cut some knife handle blanks today from a piece of raw firewood. Now there is no limit as to what wood i can use. Thanks guys, better than the band saw i recon.
The wood is Sickle bush, very common and very hard. Looks good so far.
