Hey..need a nice gas fired furnace? I picked one up the other day.
About 12"x12" x 20" deep. Nice counterweighted door with peep hole. The entire thing is about 300lbs, probably 2x2x3 feet. Its located in Newport Beach California at the moment. I was gonna offer it to Big John Delevan, but he may already have one. Id make someone a hell of a deal on it. And the ceramic is in minty shape, so its good to go. Might want to redo the burner and air mixer for propane though..shrug. its easy. Gunner I really should take you up on that. Just a few days ago at anauction pre-veiw there was a whole barn's full of stuff that had got burned. Cool old stuff! But now they are annealed as anything... some ofit could be re-heat treated and put back to work. First thing that comes to mind is the really nice old brush-hook head. Do some grinding/thinning and re-heat treat it ...better than new. There was also a 2+1/2 to 3 foot diameter sawmill blade. My friend was supposed to bid on that for me... couldn't get ahold of him last night so don't know if I got it or not. If I get that sawmill blade I guess I'll have to make some "tough knives".  Alvin in AZ ps- I don't make "tough knives" figuring there's more than enough of them out there already, I want to make "edge-holding knives" pps- high speed steel, power hacksaw blade knives are my best ones |

You might want to get Wayne Goddard's $50 knife shop book. It shows you how
to start making knives for little of nothing. Shows you how to harden, temper them as well. I found mine through Amazon from a sub dealer for $7 plus shipping brand new.

Has it occured to anybody here that this "Charles Bronson" is
troll? Cross posted and all. Could be, but don't think so yet. "knifes" might be a clue tho huh? Nice knife Al! Let me guess harder than a scorned woman? GA Cool thanks. Good guess on the hardness, 99% of the time you'dbe spot-on. But this one's not all that hard, not the right kind of steel for that... or I just don't know how to heat treat the dangged stuff... Usually boron steel has carbon in it too, the boron "enhances" carbon's work... this is weird stuff and I just don't know nuthin about it.  Made it as hard as I could tho! It started out butt-ugly. No sweat it's just a test knife for the boron bandsaw steel... later after a little use I took the dremel to it and whacked off a bunch of the blade and re-shaped what was left... and I liked the new shape about as much as any I've ever made. Just never know. Alvin in AZ |

After surfing through a couple tutorials, it doesn't look like anything I can't handle. Cool as anything, Jason! Scan off some pictures of the stuff as you go... Looking forward to seeing your progress! I like as simple as I can get them, no bells and whistles for me, no matter who makes it. YMMV There's nothing all that hard about making a knife if it's kept simple. With a little more know how, I managed to make them simpler later than my early ones. Tile drilling bits for the HSS powerhacksaw blades was a major mile stone. Learning to heat treat thelow alloy steels (like your saw blades) was an early mile stone that made pocket knife blade replacement posible. One thing I'm still wrestling with is re-heat treating files. :/ Sometimes they don't turn out right and I want to get that problem figured out. You won't have the same problem with the old saw blades they have some metal alloying in them that prevents the "file problem". Thanks for taking this troll seriously and posting all those links. Imagine that--a troll actually helping. That's gotta hurt. Jason LOL! Alvin in AZ |

Get to LA very often? Know anyone coming this way with the capacity to haul it back? Heck no. I learned about you and your exploits (a.c.m) right after my girl friend stopped driving a truck back and forth to LA. (as far as making money, she -just about broke even- on that #%^&in' job!) Cool old stuff! But now they are annealed as anything... some ofit could be re-heat treated and put back to work. First thing that comes to mind is the really nice old brush-hook head. Do some grinding/thinning and re-heat treat it ...better than new. Damned near all of it can be rebuilt. Fire is steels friend. Alot of it's warped just a little, like the saw blade and old spiral drill bits. A lot of old tack and other really cool really old stuff. All I saw and wanted was the saw blade and the brush hook (for a friend) but it needs a bigger furnace to fix it than I have. There was also a 2+1/2 to 3 foot diameter sawmill blade. My friend was supposed to bid on that for me... ooooooo!! If I get that sawmill blade I guess I'll have to make some "tough knives". Indeed. Might even do some trading with you. Got a nice furnace with no place to put it G Cool. Alvin in AZ |
