Title: My Knife Shop...I'd like to see Your Shop
Post by: tippit on February 09, 2007, 11:08:00 AM: Well I thought I'd show my knife making shop...just part of my unheated garage. This time of year my propane heater makes it possible & rather nice to work out there. In warm weather I just open garage door & try to work out side as much as possible especially forging. Most of my benches come from our dump...excuse me Re-cycling Center! So nothing fancy except the KMG grinder. I used my drill press, bandsaw, & bench grinder plus the KMG the most.

Here's the KMG grinder with the attachments.

Platen for flat grinding.

10" wheel for hollow grinding

Small wheel for getting in just about any tight spot.

Interchangeable small wheels.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/tippit/Knife%20Shop/IMG_2450.jpg)
For small detail filing & finish work this little vice mounted on a para pedestal works great. It can rotate 360% without taking the knife out of the vise.

OK let's see your shops...Doc

Post by: sticshooter on February 10, 2007, 03:27:00 PM: How in the world do you guys keep your shops so clean? You guys are almost as bad as Dano. How do ya find anything?<>< BTW I gotta get me a ANVIL! Those things look so cool and I bet it beats the heck outta banging ona flat piece of steel that jumps everytime I smack it.LOL<><
Title: Re: My Knife Shop...I'd like to see Your Shop
Post by: robtattoo on February 10, 2007, 03:39:00 PM: Frank. Do you have a railyard nearby? If you do, go and beg yourself 18" of track. Sit it upside-down on a big block of timber & you've got an instant anvil! (for around 1% of the price of a real one!) If you need to use the horn-end for bending & pre-forming, just flip it over & use the top face.
My first anvil was just such a thing & it worked a treat. Only thing is, you need at least 18" to get th weight needed to stop it bouncing. I had mine sat in a piece of 4" channel, bolter to a tree stump, so I could easily flip it over. If I hadn't been given my big anvil, I'd still be using it now!

Title: Re: My Knife Shop...I'd like to see Your Shop
Post by: RGK on February 10, 2007, 10:21:00 PM: I added on to my house two years ago. The “Man Room” as it is now called, is 18 by 24 deep and has a single garage door in the front and a service door in the back which goes out to a 18 bt 12 roofed over patio. It also has a side door that joins it to the existing 2 car garage. The “Man Room” was initially intended ro be a deer processing and sausage making area as well as a 2nd kitchen for our house. I built the entire addition myself.

(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c239/212007154/brickwork.jpg)

The “Man Room” features a natural gas furnace that heats both garages, an epoxy coated floor, A complete kitchen, A phone line, Cable TV and a hoist built into the ceiling for raising deer for butcher.

(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c239/212007154/IMG_5513.jpg)

While I mainly use it for deer processing and sausage making with the help of my sons.

Post by: LAR43 on February 10, 2007, 10:23:00 PM: Right now, due to the CO the forge puts out I'm forgin' on the back of the patio.
The rest of the stuff is in my basement across from the washer/dryer.
My son's looking at building a smithy for me in the spring where I can put everything in the same place with doors & a roof vent big enough that I don't get killed by CO.
I'll try to get some pics tomorrow if I can the the #**%#!! camera workin'!

Post by: RGK on February 10, 2007, 10:27:00 PM: Continued........................

It is decorated in true “Man Room” fashion

(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c239/212007154/bow2.jpg)

When the processing and sausage making is done for the year, the “Man Room” turns into the project room for finishing knives. The dirty part of knife making takes place in the other garage where all the big tools are.

or making hunting gear like trees stands

(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c239/212007154/climber99.jpg)

Or other projects.

It is also an indoor archery range in the winter

Frank, I picked that blade up at an auction last summer. I think I had to give something like $30 for it? They had two - probably should have taken them both.

I just made a 30 pound batch of teriyaki snack sticks using a kit from Cabela's A little to salty for my tastes. It would require an extra beer to wash them down.

Post by: Doug Campbell on February 12, 2007, 01:12:00 PM: Yep I love seeing other folks shops, good thread Doc. Well here's a few pics of my hidey holes.
Here's where the hot stuff goes on, propane forge on the left, trip hammer, anvil, and coal forge on the right. Haven't fired up the coal in years, that bottled gas will spoil ya.

Post by: Doug Campbell on February 13, 2007, 08:46:00 PM: Dang if ya bring Ron bring his smoker andhe can just stay ;)

Come on Terry I came down there and braved the teens in southern AZ and it felt alot colder than here ;)

Just let me know Dano.

May be a bit Doc ;) I had reservations because of the cost but everytime I use it I think how great it is and don't think a thing about the $.

Can't believe nobody noticed that 5' sawblade in the back. I'd make somebody a heck of a deal on that but the shipping might really hammer ya ;)

Post by: RGK on March 03, 2007, 09:15:00 AM: The Canadian bacon is great served hot or cold on a sandwich. It is really easy to make (simple brine) and easy to smoke.

Post by: warden415 on January 29, 2008, 07:15:00 PM: Well I just got my shop cleaned up and re-organized. So I decided to take some pics. It is basically my basement with another room off of it which is under my front porch, was also able to get a 17 yard indoor range in it. Steve

Post by: 2Knives on November 07, 2008, 05:50:00 PM: I was going through old posts and saw this so I thought I'd bring it back to see if anybody has added anything.
My shop is messy, always has been and always will be...it keeps the WITCH from being out there too much. It has a gravel floor so I don't have to sweep anything!!! But, I do know where most of my projects are and what stage they're in.
