Stabilizing
Bob,
I made a stabilizer from a pressure cooker and am using Minwax wood hardner for a medium. Any other suggestion for a medium to use? Bearpaw __________________ Bearpaw |

I do not stabilize my own stuff YET
You might want to do a searh for Stabilize recipe or something similar and see what comes up. I know Geno does stabilizing and I think he uses brick sealer or something similar. If you don't find your answers in a search, go to "Tool Time" and repost your question there, Geno will get involved and answer your question as will several others I would bet. |

Bearpaw,
Two other options are Nelsonite 30B02 and Resinol 90C. I sell Nelsonite as well as some pool cue places do too and the Resinol can be purchased directly from Loctite I think... -Darren __________________ Gas Forges, Refractory, & Knifemaking Supplies Refractory.EllisCustomKnifeworks.com Visit the Forge Gallery - forge building resource pages ForgeGallery.EllisCustomKnifeworks.com |

Bob, I've gone through your FAQ's several times over the past year. It's been a great help for me. Thanks for taking the time to do it. One thing I can't seem to find on your site is that neat conversion chart page with a gazillion items on it.

Yea, I took it down. The file was huge and I only got a couple comments on it and then it seemed mobody was using it. I was approaching my storage limit and decided to make some room. I will see if I can find it and if I do I will post it for a limited time so others can download it.

Bob, nice job on your FAQ section, and with regards to your part about e-mailing makers with your questions, I would like to thank David Broadwell for doing just that. I couldn't have met a nicer guy (online). He took the time to answer all of my questions in detail and in a timely manner. I'm new to building knives, and he gave some good advice.. He made my first project a lot easier. I owe him a couple of big ones.

Thanks for the info
Just a note to say I read your Newbie FAQ and appreciate the time and effort put into it. Also to let you know I tried to purchase the video on "how to make a hunter" from www.centercross.com and it is not available at this time. Any other DVD's or videos you would recomend?

If I were you I would e-mail Geno directly and ask about it. I believe he was going to put it on DVD but not sure.
I know that Johnny Stout has videos. I have not seen them but I know Johnny and I would bet they are first class. Look at Texas Knifemaker Supply for other books and videos. There are quite a few out there. Just pick the topic you are interested in. I have not heard anything negative about any of them. |
