New guy, saying hi

My name is Geoff Keyes and I love iron. I am an ABS JS Bladesmith, for those who are interested American Bladesmith.

I make knives and edged tools, both forged and stock removal, and I build many of my own tools. It is in the tool making end of things that I'm looking for resources. Right now I'm looking for spring tensioners for a grinder build and the conversion of an old surface grinder to 2 x 72 belts, so I'll be asking for help here and there.

Nice to have found all of you,

Geoff

Hi Geoff,

Welcome!

Check out our Belt Grinders category - you may find some ideas relevant to your conversion project.

Sounds as though you've built quite a few homemade tools, so let's see 'em! When you're ready to share them, please post directly in the Homemade Tools subforum. We'll add each one to the database, as well as to your builder page on the site.

Non-tool items should be shared in the Not a Tool, but Homemade subforum.
