Members Sylvia Posted May 10, 2012 Members Report Posted May 10, 2012 Best of both worlds in that one!! 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. they work great. I even used it on my ceramic beader blade from tandy that came kind of rough. 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 11, 2012 Members Report Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Ok, here's my entry with the tooling all done. The whole project has a way to go still, so that will be a while before it gets posted. Swivel knife, swivel beveler, PA003 pebbler on the shield. In full disclosure - I started to use the B107 beveler at first in the shield, but decided I hated the look of it with the checkered marks after about an inch, so I went with the swivel beveler instead. If you're not sure, do it somewhere that gets a backgrounder anyway so you can cover it up And yes, I know I need a better light source in my basement.

Members ironhead13 Posted May 11, 2012 Members Report Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) I'm going to say "thank you for the suggestion" instead of "oh boy here we go again!" lol I have other knives with standard blades and I don't want to futz up my keen edge. 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. All you'd have to do is, get a piece of round stock (or close to it and sand it down) the same diameter as the original "blade holder tube", cut it to length and drill out the center for the BK blade. Would be really easy to do with a drill press, even simplier with a lathe! Could probably get it done at a local machine shop cheap, make a few and sell them to others with the same problem. Actually, one end for BK and the other for tandy incase the original tube ends up missing..... Edited May 11, 2012 by ironhead13 www.sacredartscreenprinting.com
Members Sylvia Posted May 11, 2012 Members Report Posted May 11, 2012 Actually, one end for BK and the other for tandy incase the original tube ends up missing..... Now THAT is a brilliant idea! I might try to drill out the other end. Thanks! 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 ironhead13 Posted May 11, 2012 Members Report Posted May 11, 2012 Now THAT is a brilliant idea! I might try to drill out the other end. Thanks! Didn't think about doing that to the existing tube. Center punch, run a pilot hole and step it from there. Hardest part will be keeping it straight if doing it with a hand drill, if you got a drill press it would be simple to make a quick jig outta a piece of wood. www.sacredartscreenprinting.com

I was thinking a jig from a piece of wood with a V shaped notch and using a small vice to hold it and the tube. I do have a drill press...

Members Domino Posted May 11, 2012 Members Report Posted May 11, 2012 Found this while I was looking at dragon pictures hoping for inspiration to strike.. Added to my things to make when I get good enough list... I've still no ideas for the challenge though..
Members Sylvia Posted May 11, 2012 Members Report Posted May 11, 2012 I've still no ideas for the challenge though.. Dom: Try searching for "Dragon coloring pages" They are usually simple.
