Re: A lot of work for a couple of weekends
Ron, I bought it for less than a hundred bucks through the Craigs list, but it works very well for me. It is made by Central Machrery, China (Whoever hey are). Actually, I bought this sender and a horizontal metal bend saw together for $150. Nothing fancy, but they do their job.

It looked kind of like a Grizzly industrial, one of their main stores and shipping hubs is in Springfield Mo. not far from where I live. Some of their stuff is junk, but some is very good with good prices, you just have to do your homework and sort through it.

Re: A lot of work for a couple of weekends
I like to play in my workshop. Today I shipped a grip cap to our friend in India to match his bolt knob.

Here is how it looks on my Professional:


And here another one on my Prestige:

When I am not making bolt knobs or grip caps, or make mounts I smoke fish

You are a man of many talents!
I have never seen a grip cap on an Offroad. That looks great!

I have found that D2 holds an edge a long time, the Meneffe knives I was selling can skin and cut up several deer before the need sharpening, but D2 is rather hard to polish.

Re: A lot of work for a couple of weekends
That is my point. I prefer a little bit more mild steel about 58 RC . I can sharpen it using a ceramic mag or a automotive glass I think if a blade can skin one deer from the beginning to the end, than it is good steel. But it is just IMHO.
