I am glad to know I am not the only guilty party on this web site. I will be adding some of my work over the next couple of days. If I can answer any of your questions please ASK. the only dumb question is the one you do not ask.

i give it a try when i get home from school

Thought I'd give you something to look at.

The Google site looks good!!
Perfect!!
Little by little..your name will come up higher on Google search results
The goal is if someone types in "custom knives" in a search
You want to be on TOP...:)

It's HTML code
You should learn HTML
It's not that hard, really
Then you can "beef up" your EBAY ads and facebook page :)

Good Morning. Thanks for the welcome. So far everyone's been great. I've seen some great knives and in general have had a good time. That's what it's all about anyway. Right?

okay i will when i get a chance!!

your websites awesome but i couldn't find out where to type my comment!

jeff,
knives are looking good. you have came a long way,in a short time. love the way your handles look and the wood spacers. glade to see you are doing some file work. keep up great work. do not worry about what knife on e bay sells for. as long as it sells you can make more. that is the name of the game is selling. do better work every time and the price it sells for will reflect it. some knives will not bring what you want and outhers will bring more. works out in the end. keep your eye on the prize, a burr king grinder. then you have the tools to step up to next level . good luck on preaching today. a man of many skills. jeff

Hi jeff,good lookin' knives !

sorry jeff about the trouble on e-bay?

Thank you very much.

Found out that the "New" whittler is just new handle material.
It's a Swell Center Whittler in Yellow Comp.

Very, nice knife Jeff. The blade design reminds me of the very first hunting knife I bought as a kid. It was a Swedish knife with leather washer handle and a broad skinning blade. It's still around here somewhere, I think. Now I'm going to have to look for it and reminisce about the good old days. Anyway, really nice work Jeff.
By the way, if you don't mind me asking, what is it you are you using for spacer materials on your handle? Looks good.

Jeff,
Thanks for the compliments. Mammoth is a wonderful material to use. It polishes well and can have amazing variations in color. I only buy my mammoth from Charles Turnage at http://www.fineturnage.com/. His prices are reasonable and he is a genuinely nice guy. As for helpful hints, 1) Treat it like stone. It can and will break. I always back mine with spacers or pin it to the tang before doing any cuts to help prevent breakage. Breaks can sometimes be repaired with superglue. 2) I have found that the best thing to use to cut it is a dremel tool with a cutoff wheel. 3) After that I shape and sand just like any other handle material except that it likes to eat through belts. I finish it up to 2000 grit and then on to the buffing wheel with some white compound. A good rubdown with a soft cloth and it shines like glass. This should get you started. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Jeff, I like the looks of your latest...the Broad Skinner. Keep up the good work.

Jeff, after seeing the one that you sent to me I just had to try my hand at it. I finally figured it out, and have a couple of more pics that I'm going to play around with. Thanks for the inspiration!!
