    Tom White hone + GRS dual angle sharpener question

    Wo Worst case scenario you can always stack some cheap hardback books or a block of wood next too it and affix the metal piece to that.

    John B micro gravers

    To get rid of your flex get longer pieces of carbide from centennial carbide. Have it run all the way through the tube instead of partially in.

    Fogging scope

    Is the homemade head test adjustable? The one for the acrobat stand is adjustable and I really had to find the “sweet” spot to control the fog.

    Laser Printer Transfer Help

    So for the most part I have them down from straight acetone, to damar varnish if needed. My question is do you guys prefer a certain paper brand over another? I got some paper from Walmart and apparently I’ve burned through the 500 pages over the past two years. What I used was pretty thick...

    Revamped my power hone build, just wanted to share some pictures of it as an update to the last time I posted about it. It is a direct driven system, no pulleys. Working on condensing it to a smaller size.

    Compressor recommendations

    Yes. 60db is by no means quiet. M Half my bedroom is my studio so I sound proofed the closet and had to shut the door or I would get the same look you got. I would spend the extra money on something truly quiet. I think it will be disappointing when they hear a 60db compressor so close in person.

    Compressor recommendations

    Harbor freight sells a 2gallon that’s a 60db. The biggest issue wasn’t really the sound but the vibration. After buying my silentaire I would never go back to oiless.

    Question: Buffalo nickel source

    Like Gtsport said just about any change is a good place to start. I like carving buffaloes but I also like to go and grab coins from the big foreign coin box at my lcs. 10 cents a piece and I find some really good face coins to carve some skulls on.

    Upgrade my current hone or go for GRS?

    If possible maybe change your housing unit to something a bit bigger. This shell cost me $20 on Amazon

    Upgrade my current hone or go for GRS?

    I would just set your sharpening jig on a stack of hard books or a block of wood around the same height next to the hone. Also you want to find some diamond flat lap disc.
