Just wanted to share my shop and my black powder room. If not for the shop I would not have my room. Over the years I have traded knives for almost all of my black powder stuff. Except for the knives I kept for myself. Anyhow I just wanted to share

You can steal the design but not the idea.

I used a 4" cutoff wheel to make slot. I tried the hot chisel but it did distort so I cheated and used the wheel

Small friction folder I finished up awhile back I hate sawdust in my shop and waiting for glue to dry so I am always looking for ways to avoid using wood. Blade forged from 1084 and the rest is mild steel reverse twisted. IMG_1668.MOV IMG_1657.heic

Thank you. They are good sellers. I get burned out with making them though.

I have a small shop and hate cleaning up sawdust. I used 1084 for the blades and large garage door spring for the handles. Have a great weekend!

Yes. I carry one with no issues. Thanks

Thank You

Fancy Friction Folder I did a few of these this weekend. Sometimes I don’t feel like doing any handles or making a sheath for fixed blades .

That’s funny. I got my spring from a coworker

Outstanding. Well done.

I have been trying different ideas on how to make a friction folder with only two pieces of steel and a pin this is my latest attempt 12” of garage door spring and a piece of file

No. Just the brass pin

Those are slick. Nice work!
