New guy from Colorado

Just wanted to say Hi to all the folks on this forum. I found this site when it was mentioned on another site. I am a full time knife maker and find GREAT satisfaction making my own tools and machines. I have 33 years of blacksmithing, welding, and machining stuff as including an old Cincinnati Arrow 500 CNC VMC which I use for the production of our training blades. I also make Damascus steel and teach knife making. I will post pictures of the adjustable belt grinder that I made that will run 2x60 out to 2x132 thus I can save money by buying abrasives that might not be a common size.

Hi Steve,

Welcome!

A full-time knife maker? Very impressive! That's serious dedication to craft. We'd love to see some of your work.

That adjustable belt grinder sounds neat, too. Anything you'd care to share, we'll be happy to add to the database...
