As far as the condition of your blade…I would pinch the bare blade with two fingers along the horizontal axis of the sweet spot, hit the handle with your knuckle, and you should hear it ring. If it’s a clear pitch it usually means it’s resonating okay and there’s no issues. If it’s more like a...

https://www.ebay.com/usr/cc_bladecraft Link to my eBay page where I’m listing my blades. Most of them are priced 29.99. Email me at [email protected] for international sales.

Nice the press looks great! Ah that’s cool about the baby shape. I made one for my daughter too but she’s only two so she just smacks the walls with it lol! I’ve actually never made a cybershape myself but I did make a template. Curious to see your version of it and how you like it! Bandsaw is...

I got a vevor from eBay for like $70. Money well spent. The old cast iron ones are nice but I think all the ones I found people wanted a lot for them and they’re expensive to ship because they’re so heavy...

Oh wow that’s nice and looks simple enough to make. I only ran into the too much pressure problem when i started using a book press with a big handle on the top. Great for pu glue ups but pretty easy to overdo it with the epoxy.

If I’m doing a blade like wood-woven fiber-wood-woven fiber-wood (3w+2c) i will make myself 12.5g of epoxy. You have to remember that when you glue fibers every single one of those fibers needs to be saturated with epoxy. If your work time for the epoxy is 10 minutes, take your time and really...

Looks like you’re doing awesome! If you wanna talk more about if there’s parts of the making process you’re finding difficult then I’m sure you could get a few tips, but as far as the end result there’s not much to say other than, well done! Especially the handle on #6 from the bottom, thats...

My buddy is an LA Dodgers fan and wanted a blade with the team colors.

I have no doubt he’s a good guy and I see what he contributes to the community. You’re probably right and I’ll chalk it up as a misunderstanding and consider it squashed. That’s probably my biggest regret that in the past 7 years I’ve been making blades I was for the most part, offline. Which...

I don’t want to continue “trolling” your thread but if I say you copied a blade you get upset, then you say if I cease communication with everyone who wants me to copy a blade…it’s okay? Why can’t I say copy? I was originally just pointing out you copied the blade which you say your customers...

Oh yeah sorry I got lost in all the “I’m clueless and have no idea what you do” talk despite being a blademaker for just as long as you lmao. To answer your question. Yeah when I saw it, the blade reminded me of the one you copied. I mentioned something and you posted the actual blade you...

My guy nobody is attacking you…all I said was I knew the guy asked you to copy the blade. Sorry but it’s true. If that upsets you I don’t know what to tell you. A lot of what you said here I didn’t say so I’m not sure how to even respond I actually agree with a lot of it? I pointed out that...

Haha! I’m sorry! Am I wrong?? I just feel that if you knowingly copy someone’s blade there should be a little credit given. If I’m wrong I’ll move on. I’m not looking to have any beef I think hipnotic does great work and I like that, not in a bad way, he can copy the viscaria or timo boll alc or...

*facepalm* I’m not sure I really wanna respond to this you sound pretty biased for a non biased opinion. But what the hell why not. Maybe you should look up other blademakers to see what else is out there?... Sure if you order your woods online premade there’s only so much you can do, so many...

I don’t think your most recent is a copy either. Like I said I recognize the core , then you posted the blade that I made and you copied from 2021 that’s how we got here. If you’re not lying then help me understand this message thread because to me it looks like I point out he had another...

My point is if I take a blade makers unique composition or idea, such as that one, I wouldn’t make it without giving credit. When I make a BBC blade it’s stated that’s what it is, the hardbats I’m working right now are stated as hock clones or hock inspired whichever I put. Even though Bernard...

This is what my “core making days” looks like

Yeah of course I get that. But there’s a difference, and you knew what you were doing. I know you’ve been doing this long enough to understand that. Im aware of the blades most people use and what’s out there.

I knew it was him who asked you to copy it. After that I was pretty much done with that guy. Never again. Anyways, that blade from 2021 that you made is called “boomslang” and was created by Charlie from BBC. Pretty sweet blade.

bingo 2021 is the one! I sent a very similar blade to our friend in France. You don’t experience warping taking out the koto cross ply?
