Thanks for replying Jerry, yeh knifemaking always intrested me,
though it was cool same with blacksmith. Do you jsut make knifes for
yourself or do you custom make them and people order or ask which
ones they would like made?

Sean,
I come from a different background, I am a knifemaker and
a
blacksmith. I use a 2 x 72 belt grinder, which is common in the
knife
trade. Which I built both of the ones I have. I just got my little
lathe
and done some neat things with it, but what I did was a refinement
of
things I have done in the past. I also own a mill/drill and have
made
jewelry, remade tools, found out what not to do with some bits.
I have to order some of the accessory items for my little
lathe,
because some of the things I want to do, needs another chuck or a
third
hand type device.
Oh, and congratulations on taking the plunge, it took me a
while also.

I
been reading alot of the pages that people make and am amazed at
the
stuff they design and build!! I actaully was planning on doing
some
toolpost grinding after I make a proper holder... I figured I
might
use my dremel with the flexible tool attachment, what other things
cna I sue for a grinder?
