Members PL01 Posted May 4, 2012 Members Report Posted May 4, 2012 That's a nice one. It look's like a bracer. You need one for the other arm now. And you've got 27 days to do it in My Gallery
Members Sylvia Posted May 9, 2012 Members Report Posted May 9, 2012 Did this in about an hour. I used my swivel knife, speed beveler and a modeling spoon/stylus tool. I did ALL those scales with the knife. (ouch) Since I have 2 more tools I can use I may go back and do some more beveling... with a different tool. Anyway here it is. A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"
Members Cyberthrasher Posted May 9, 2012 Members Report Posted May 9, 2012 I've already got like 3 hours into mine and I haven't even started tooling the actual dragon yet hellhoundkustoms.wordpress.com www.facebook.com/hellhoundkustoms www.etsy.com/shop/HellhoundKustoms

Wow that may be the best piece I have seen from you yet! YOU GO GIRL! Yes I did actually just say that...and I zig zagged my snap too! hahahah I thought you where making it a guitar strap...or is this part of it?

Yes I did actually just say that...and I zig zagged my snap too! hahahah I thought you where making it a guitar strap...or is this part of it? Thanks!! LOL Some how my mental image of you being a biker and zig zagging your finger snap..... isn't quite right! No, this is just practice since I've never done a dragon before. This design is just a bit to wide to fit on a 3 inch strap. I might color it and send it to the guy as a "gift" I know his wife was looking for a brass dragon for their wall. I had a hard time with getting those claws right with this Gawd Awful Barry King straight blade... I swear it's like a full 1/8" thick. I guess I'm going to have to learn how to sharpen that hollow blade after all. A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot."

You have to go spend another 15 bucks and get the Keen Edge Sharpener...after you do and you sharpen that hollow ground for 10 seconds you will be kicking your self so hard that you didn't just get it before right now! I have heard you cussing that poor awesome knife blade for months now...all it takes is 15 bucks! And a few strokes and you will be rockin'!

In his wisdom... he's made the shank of his a few mills LARGER then the standard Blades. So the damn thing don't fit in the keen edge. I love the knife... but that little tidbit pisses me off about it. LOL A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"

I have one and never use the set screw so if it gets messed up it wont matter. all you need is a vise, a drill bit that fits in the knife hole and some time. Just make sure to maintain a straight angle when drilling. The other option is to use a dowel wrapped with sand paper and just sand it till it fits. If its not much this is a better way. michael The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering. Bruce Lee

BARRY needs to stop being a (expletive) and either make a jig, or an adapter to fit the keen edge and have it available to for sale. ohh... don't get me started. lol I've heard that Chuck Smith has a tool similar to Keen Edge but they have yet to answer a single one of my dozen or so emails.

Throw artistry in there and you're looking for trouble. I decided the other night that I need to get the keen edge guide when I realized how jacked up the angles are on my "deluxe" blade. I just need to sit down with a guide and get it honed out the right way. hellhoundkustoms.wordpress.com www.facebook.com/hellhoundkustoms www.etsy.com/shop/HellhoundKustoms
