Metalworking Hunttalkers!
The journey for my 10 year old and I continues. We got some 1095 flat stock and designed and ground out three knives (he wanted a sword so we settled on a dagger). Learning a lot in the process and getting a little better each time. We also made a trident to see how the forge and anvil/ hammer...- GoGriz

Metalworking Hunttalkers!
Not sure on the answer to your question 100% but you could try the file test (run a file along the back edge and if it catches its soft and needs a heat treat, if it skips along the edge without grabbing or digging in then it’s likely hard enough). You could also do some cutting with it and see...- GoGriz

I am an Idiot - Need Help with Rust
I am not smart. I had two barrels that I took from their happy home (in a basement in a state without humidity) and I put them in the closet of a different house with a ton of humidity with the idea I would send them off to get threaded ASAP. Fast forward four months and I finally get around to... -
Metalworking Hunttalkers!
My 10 year old and I decided to learn to make knives together. We started out buying pre-finished blanks and adding handles. For Christmas/ his birthday we got a basic blacksmithing setup with a forge so we can heat treat blades. We got some solid stock bar and ground our blades out of our own...- GoGriz

Cat/Griz 2025 edition
Go Griz!!! I think the Cats have the edge coming into the game but at least from what I can remember, it seems that this game can always go either way despite the Team’s records and play leading up to it. Should be a great day of College football either way!- GoGriz

SW Montana Barrel Threading
Does anyone have a lead on a gunsmith in SW Montana that will thread up a couple of barrels on short notice? I might just send them off as it seems easiest, but I thought I would ask incase someone has a great local lead. -
Hunting Rifle LOP
Some of the stocks I need to lengthen by almost an 1-1/2”. I was looking at some of the Boyd’s stuff, but there are some mixed reviews out there. I might just pull the trigger on one and see for myself. -
Hunting Rifle LOP
I have two howa 1500 short actions and a Remington 700 long action to start (and a few shotguns and other rifles to follow). For the dollar limit I would like to keep it under $500 per gun, but the lower I can figure out a solution, the more guns I can dial in to my exact LOP (at least that’s...
