And so it begins.... (My adventures into Alox!)

[Etherealicer]

I get asked ALOT in emails where my website is, do I have a site to show my work, etc etc.  Well I finally got around to registering 2 domains.  SAKModder.com and SAKMods.com

Now I need to figure out how to make a website.  I did it years ago, but Im rusty.

If you need any help, let me know. Would be glad to help out.

And sharp job on the scalpel.

Very nice of you,  wish I could help, but web-pages is not my area at all.

[sticktodrum]

If you want help making video content for your site, I'm totally open to help. I already do product vids for KershawGuy.

That scalpel holder is really something, especially for use as an every day utility knife. Brilliant idea.

I might take you up on that later when I figure out what exactly I need.

I threw a stub page up for now.

The other url www.SAKMods.com redirects to that url as well.

And bookmarked for future orders! I love that you are just making it easier and easier to give you all my money!! 

[Cauldronborn]

  I have a feeling I might be joining you in the future

[borgwarrior]

bookmarked.

[Cupboard]

if you don't feel like doing any proper coding, you could just hack around some Wordpress (or similar) templates.
Takes a lot of the hard work out of it.

Ever considered some splash anodizing? I would kill to get my hands on a vivid blue/black, vivid blue/red, red/black, and orange/black.

[crackout]

I'd rather see some decent acid wash anodizing. Camouflage looks nice done this way.

Acid wash is great, but for some reason I just love the sharp lines between contrasting colors. Really makes it pop in my opinion.

I just got a call that my waterjet order is done. New springs!  Looks like the cut fee worked out to about 3.25 a part.

I see a lot of Farmers with Scissors in the future

So has your Workshop warmed up yet? Maybe you need more sun in there:

[Syph007]

It's hovering around 0 C today.  Not too bad at all actually.

I stopped by the waterjet place!









You can see the ver 2.0 (top) of the spring has more meat over the pivot and better curves for faster finishing. 

I got a tip from the waterjet buy about a heat treat place right here in town so Im going to check them out tomorrow and get these things done. 

I might see about getting them tumbled as well to eliminate the labor intensive manual sanding part, but we'll see.

0°C that's horrible!

Hey that mesh looks cool, what are you gonna do with it? Radiator grill for your car?

Actually i needed some grating at the front of my garage to make a drain and I was going to use it for that!   Its still plenty strong.

Oh I checked with the local heat treat place here and guess what... THEY DO DLC TOO! 

Guess who's dumping BO on stainless for PVD-DLC now....

I know I got excited!

I sent them off a quote request so we'll see if if I can afford it.  It would be a nice upgrade to the BO as it can have inconsistent results with blotchiness on occasion.

DLC tools and anodized Ti scales and liners....

You just made my day!! Way too much awesomeness!!

[crackout]

My abstinence from finally ordering my Pioneer pays off with every new post.

[Syph007]

Copper alox with red liners, with a clip point blade from a day packer.   

It took some fiddling to get that clip point to fit, but it worked out fine.  The blade is much thinner than a standard 93mm blade so it needed a 0.030" washer, but its nice and stable.

Interesting build, but beautiful as always Syph JR

That's cool, and very different. 

[rickinFL]

Nice.  Did you use same pivot hole?  I just cut a bit off and drilled a new one.  Frustrating to beat material into exisitng.

[Mr. Whippy]

Love that clip point!

[Syph007]

No I did a Vic trick like they do to put pruner/electrician blades on 91mm SAKs.  Just tighten the spring a bit and you dont notice.  That pivot was 3.5mm anyhow and the 3.2 mm pivots were fine in that.  Thats even less than putting a 3.0 holed tool on a 2.5mm pin like Vic does.

I thought about shortening the blade, but it was already feeling kind of stubby so I left it as is.

[tattoosteve99]

Ok so when I get mine???

As soon as I make a bunch more!  Still waiting on CNC parts then I will crank these out in large numbers.

Bump! :wave:

My stepper motors are still sitting on my desk.    Too cold for me to get that conversion done yet.  Im thinking april / may is more realistic.

Thanks for that.  That is worlds easier than my route.  Hoping to send the blade off for a reprofile as well on my next attempt.
