Welcome!

Wow Phil that is a great idea? I never even thought of that? When I clean them with Bar Keepers Friend no matter how well I rinse there is always a chalky residue left. One step better is if it were removable and washable?
Seeing as you are my special friend and I owe you I will see about getting one made?

As far clamping goes? Recently the guys suggested using a piece of chamois. I cut a 1" square and then a 1/2" square to hold the FFG and fancy blades and have been very satisfied with it. I have never attempted a convex grind with my choseras? So I can not comment, but it sounds like a really cool idea when finished. Seems like it would really take sometime to get it just right? Mirror, shape,...

Where is the handbook to learn all these cool little puter things you do? Thank you!

Hey I did it!!1 Yeah THANK YOU Curtis. You always come to the rescue!! Now how do you get them all in the same message? When I tried to click in the same box it wouldn't go? I want to learn How you do the FANCY additions to the post? Your teach an old school guy how to do this stuff. Thank you again!!

New toy my friend made for me. It holds all the stones and then when I go wash them at the end of the day just carry it over to the sink.

Curtis this where I get confused? I hit the IMG button it says copied? Then do I paste it in the verbage section of the post?

Well done. I really like the whole package.

Phil did you happen to see Clay's video in this thread? It does a pretty good job of explaining the handle. Even I understand now. And that is usually a reach!

Would someone please be so kind and explain to me how you post a picture? I have a Photobucket account, but can not seem to make the leap to posting here on WEPS. My example "the round knife discussion" I would have asked about a week ago had I known how to get it posted?
As usual thank you to everyone helping!

Hi Leo, Welcome to the WEPS crew. That is a beautiful knife! I have one I want and have been putting off ordering for sometime from that neck of the woods. I love the lines and the way it flows. What a great knife!

Hi Bob, Hey thanks for the video! I learn from watching much better then reading! Now I understand how it is done and actually want to redo it just to see the difference?

I looked at set up in the vise that way, but was scared I would have two bevels? I guess I should have asked on here and got a suggestion? I think it will come back down the road so it is good to know for next time. Thanks, Clay!

Wow Max I just did the exact knife two days ago! Same handle everything! I couldn't mount it where I felt comfortable either, so I did it on my bench stones. Then stropped it with a strop from strops plus. Now that I think about it I could have used your method (WE paddles) pretty easily.

Max that is a great vid! I will be very interested in finding out how the Farmers Fare goes? I think I will start timing myself with different grit starts ans see what I can do best with my technique or lack of?

Okay I give up. Can someone point me in the direction of how to post a pic?

A friend made this little stone holder for me. It is really handy as I can take them from the table over to the sink and give them a bath and put them back in the rack and then let them dry.


Sorry I thought I had figured out how to post a picture.
I'll go back to the drawing board?

Wow!!! I have to give credit where credit is due? This is so over the head of this little sharpener? I'm having to reread what I've reread?
I'm trying to learn though

Curtis it looks like we better learn? It appears that we are going in the chisel business
All we need now is to know how much to charge?
