Proud New Papa

I'll bet you're wondering why this thread title ended up in the "Making Stuff" area......Well, my new grinder came in today. As you can see – it is a bit larger than my old one. I have noticed rather quickly that while it will remove metal much faster than my little one, it will also remove anything else that contacts it with equal quickness (I was wearing gloves).

I had already cut out the shape and drilled/filed the handle – it’s not done yet, but so far so good.

Nice new toy. More power is my motto :)

Oh yea, the knife is looking good :)

I am envious Crash! congrats on your new baby boy! Sweet first grind too!

I remember when I was a kid, they said a sign of smoking pot was yellow fingers.....
Do you have something you'd like to share with the group, Mr Crash? aka Jeff Spicolli

Jason = trust me when I say - it ain't all that organized. That's what it looks like when you sweep a pile of "useful items" out of the way to set up your new grinder. As to the staining ----- shhhhhh - that'll be our little secret.

If you show up at the next jamboree with a flat nose and forehead we'll know what happened.

Nice knife.

Jason - Maybe he peed on his hand.

Yeah sure go ahead and make my bare shop look even worse, by showing off a new toy... By the way Nice sander/grinder. Is that a knife,an axe or a hybrid of the two? LOL looks good whichever it is. Probably could do both with it huh?
Did you use a half bottle of iodine on your belt burn?

The yellow is actually staining from the gloves I was wearing. They got wet as I dipped the blade in a bucket of water for cooling it.

The way you said it in your post about it removing "anything else" as quickly as metal, I thought you had gotten Bit by it already. Glad it was just wet gloves,and not iodine.

I have found a better way for cooling is to use warm oil, it cools the metal better and helps in the temper process. Just how I do it though.
Real nice looking knife there bro,
Beo,

Beo - the water is just to keep the blade cool enough to handle after a pass on the belt. When I'm done, I'll harden it in a forge and then temper it.

Oh okay, blade looks great.

congratulations. cigar?

i re-ground the bevel on my little skinner and the blade overheated. now i have to heat treat again, and now i keep water next to the grinder too.

Crash, do you use a jig to maintain the bevel on the knive? There isn't a rest table on the sander so I was just wondering how you keep the bevel?

No jig. There is an adjustable tool rest that sits in front of the platen (removed in the pictures). I didn't use it for the flat grind - which started out as an attempt at a hollow grind. I asked the guys that were showing me about using the tool rest. They pretty much only use it for profiling the blade. Still feeling my way around that.

Congrats Crash! She's a beauty! Now let the spark making begin. I am still working on funding that Bader3 I told you about. Look into the Blaze belts they are supposed to last along time compared to other brands.

Gorgeous skinner Crash! As always, keep up the good work!

Congratulations on the new grinder Grizzly makes good tools at a decent price. The blade looks nice, can't wait to see the handle you put on it.

sorry i am asking this but i am what does Ms crash think about her new baby

Your hooked now! I still use my grizzly to profile. If you want to hollow grind on the grizzly, get the 10" wheel. The 8" doesnt give enough clearance between the wheel and the motor and it is tough to get even grinds... this was my experience. I kept hitting my hand on the grinder when I was grinding to the left. The buffer works nice on them as well just make sure you overhang the bench with it first. They get mean when you mess up! Nice blade, Make sure you show us the knife when its done.

I've got the 10" wheel for the reasons you state.

I like that knife a lot Crash, sort of an ulu/skinner mix.
