i just got the plans in the mail today. havn't gone over them enough yet. biggest problem I am going to have is the blade itself. cutting and heat treating.

ok question,
0.050 Ti sheets. What do I need to work with that? I have been hearing some very nasty things about Ti.

i do not have a metal bandsaw, yet. I do have a dremel and some hacksaw blades. I found out recently the fiberglass cutoff wheel works super well on steel. I also have a 6" grinder I use mostly for buffing.

Hey Ed, just watch the sparks off the Ti. It will set things on fire pretty quick if you get it hot and you just have to wait for it to stop burning.

Looks like a job for a class D type 1 extinguisher.
Think for this one I will use stainless or brass instead of Ti untill I can get some additional things to handle the metal. I am also going to contact a guy I know who makes some AWSOME damascus and do the blade in that.

The blade has been heat & cryo treated & the Barlow finished. I apologize for my poor photography. Happy New Year , Joe

Very nice work, Joe.
I notice that you chose to use a blade stop pin instead of using the back spacer as the stop. Is this your first linerlock? What is the handle made of? Ironwood? Don't forget to show us the next one. Last edited by Don Robinson; 12-28-2006 at 06:18 PM. |

Thanks , Don ! This was not my 1st linerlock , I make my 1st in May. I went to the stop pin after I accidently ground the back of my blade too short & decided that was easier than making a new backspacer. The handle is stabilized maple burl .
