Members Knipper Posted March 6, 2012 Author Members Report Posted March 6, 2012 Hi Trox! Though the photo doesn't show it very well, I did use solid, yellow brass for the bolsters and pins. I didn't color correct the photo before I posted it. As to making more, I'm kind of waiting for a report from Bruce to see how he thinks it works. He should receive it by the end of this week. If all goes okay, I would consider making more if there is a demand for them. Thanks for the kind words! Terry Quote
Trox Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 I am sorry, but It looks like steel on the picture. Let me know when you ready to make another one. Thanks Trox Hi Trox!

Members TTcustom Posted March 7, 2012 Members Report Posted March 7, 2012 If I could afford one this is what I would buy! That is a beautiful Plough gauge blade! Wonderful work!

Members simontuntelder Posted September 3, 2012 Members Report Posted September 3, 2012 Just came across this, and couldn't help but wonder, if you ever made more? That is absolutely beautiful! Quote
Members Knipper Posted September 21, 2012 Author Members Report Posted September 21, 2012 Now that I got a good report card from Bruce, I'll be adding a few of these to my line. I'll take what I have to the Boots and Saddles show in early Oct. and see how they go. After that, I'll have to make some more, but yes...I am making these now both for the Dixon and the Blanchard Plough Gauges. Quote
Members walter roth Posted March 20, 2015 Members Report Posted March 20, 2015 Hi Knipper Yes, a very nice work. So I like it very well. Found just that. If you have one of them have, I would like to buy it. Greeting Walter Roth Quote
Members bbass408 Posted November 3, 2020 Members Report Posted November 3, 2020 Like so many others, I just wanted to say how amazed I am with your work. Now, beware the noob... I had a question about the grind on the plough gauge blade. It looks like a convex grind that's about a half inch wide. Is that correct? Is it the same on both sides? Curious if it's flat on the side towards the fence and convex on the other. I'm going off of this picture for the grinding terms: If it's not too off-topic, are there any nice discussions about how round knife edges are ground? It's hard to see in 2D pictures. It seems like the cheaper ones have parallel faces and double bevel edge with a taper that goes in about 1/16th or so. That doesn't seem ideal. On some more expensive ones, it looks like it may be flat or convex on both sides. Quote
