Today I acquired...........

[sparkysy]

I bought one of these tail end of last year, it's a trolley, car skid, hop up, workbench and 3 things I can't remember
Excellent bit of kit and only £100 with discount applied.
It's sturdy, adjustable height is superb.
I'm looking forward to using it this year, always looking for an extra work area!

Got some silicone cover hoods for Blink outdoor cams today, pretty impressed for the money.

A little update on the knife, feck me it's sharp, it puts our current good carving knife to shame.

Store it not in a drawer and keep it out of the dishwasher to keep it sharp. Very pretty knife, I'm quite jealous.

Why does storing in a drawer blunt the knife please?
(I always blame my knives going blunt on abuse by MWitA)

Much like storing taps etc mixed up in drawers - it's the banging together with others. On it's own in its own drawer, no problem.

Handles . . .

Today I finished fixing a Boxford cross slide that some one had broken, probably by overtightening the tool post.

I was going to try brazing it but decided to tig it using aluminium bronze filler as the colour wouldn't be so off

I preheated it in the small domestic oven I have in the workshop and used the oven to cool it down as well.



I put plenty on to try and not leave a gap and it was nearly enough.

I used my surface grinder to remove the excess and flatten the top face.

And used a die grinder and hand file to get the rest.

It came out ok, far from perfect but a lot better than it was.

You can see the bit I missed but I can live with it.

Other things rattling round but more importantly as it would be loose, taking the end of your fingers off when you go to grab something else, it literally is that sharp, it's like having a foot long new Stanley knife blade.

I've ordered a knife holder that's going on the rear of one of our top cupboard doors to keep it out of harms way, I'm tempted to save and buy a carving knife now

Plastic slide on knife protectors are a very useful thing to keep them sharp and protect fingers.
Annoyingly most cheap knives no longer supplied with them, just a tiny bit of plastic on the tip.

I keep a short knife in car for fruit and making sandwiches and food while Im out, the sleeve fell down the side of drivers seat, never to be seen again.

I have a knife like the op's I bought it in Japan. Sharp enough to shave with, it live in its own little box to preserve the edge. A friends girlfriend wanted to have a go with it and promptly removed part of a finger.

I have a bridge to hold down….

Just used some KYDEX to make some cheek risers for my pcp rifles and noticed the number of uses includes knife sheaths . Extremely easy to cut and shape very malleable using a wall stripper hot air gun and incredibly strong when cooled . Can be reheated and reshaped as required . Ebay purchase.
