Yep...though rarely anymore. I got a domain of the name years ago with a thought of doing a commercial site. When I had my accident things kinda went by the wayside and I went a different direction. Now it just have it parked and use it as an ID. I still have all kinds of equipment for...

Wire damascus is a popular medium for making knives from. In some ways it is easier to forge a billet from but also has its drawbacks. I have forged some wire damascus, but as far as I am concerned...its still a work in progress.;) Its a skill I dont know if I will ever be good at, but who know.

Thank, Mark. Compliments are always appreciated. :D

Thanks!!! You know...I have never sold one of my knives. Most I have either given away to family and friends or used in a trade. Hmmmm..let me rephrase that.:whistle: I sometimes trade one of my knives for something else. :respect:I have had folks that had a knife also that they wanted a...

Thanks for the compliment! I usually try to use something like used lawnmower blades or auto leaf springs or I buy a knife blank. These are usually hardened already. However, if I do need to harden a blade I do have a gas forge that I use for heating the steel before the hardening quench...

Guess I can show off one of my hobbies. I make knives, when I have time. I make em from pieces of scrounged steel, sometimes I use blanks. Depends on my mood and the time available. Left hand photo is a skinning knife with a striped ebony wood handle. Right hand photo is damascus hunting...

Ouch, and I thought I was going to try to show folks how to paint their tractors? Talk about me doing it. You aught to do it Mark. I be a photog and tech geek and a self taught painter. I doubt that I hold a candle to you. And from the looks of that 1300 that you have, I aint even a close...

Yep...and when we bought this place and moved, we couldnt understand how we had collected all that we had. And we moved from a far smaller place. And only been on this place 3 years. Doc, I would recommend that you double the double. ;) And add a third.:respect:

I wonder why the difference in filters? I have seen the photos I think you posted of the before and after looks of it. I really liked them and I really liked the results of the work you did on it. That was some beautiful work. Dont know if I am THAT good, but I try. :mrgreen:

And what is a hoot, is it is the total truth! My neighbor drove by while I was doing it and stopped to watch. Called me later to have a good laugh and ask me if I planned to bale the grass. :D Said if my yard produced THAT much grass, I should borrow his big round baler so it wouldnt go to...

Hey Mark, I actually did mow my front lawn with my swather. :letitsnow: I let it get a little overgrown, decided I didnt want to spend all that time on the mower....well....ya know....got lazy.:D

My main building 48 x 100 divided into two areas. The shop area is about a 1/3 of the total. I have to pick my way around stuff. The bigger area has a spot down the center that gets used for temp storage...the rest is...well, full. We have two other smaller buildings that we use, both about...

Dont know CA. ;)

I have seen a couple of the 1300D's The 3 speed PTO seems like it would be a plus to have. And I dont understand why the US models had to have the forward push throttle rather than the pull though maybe its because if you have hold of the throttle and make the tractor jump forward yu could...

Mostly I have sandblasted what I needed to get rust off of. And have used the navel jelly before. But the electrolysis bit sounds interesting. And did CA's idea of tumbling stuff in a cement mixer.

I rebuild and paint old equipment. Last two projects was my AC tractor and an old swather. My current is my Yanmar tractor. Had been pretty much abandoned sitting outside for 8 long years. A friend of mine gave it to me for hauling it away. Spent the last month working on it. Drove it 2...

I have a Yanmar 155D 15hp with FEL and a big Allis-Chalmers 7020 125hp.

Hello to all. Glad to join this forum. I aint a Kentuckian, but was stationed for a few years at Fort Knox. One of the purtiest parts of this country. Kentucky I mean, not Ft Knox. :poke: I live now on the high plains of NE Colorado. Got a 40 acre place here where we raise a few chickens...
