"I have heard people mixing Linnseed oil and a hardener together to treat wood with for all kinds of projects. What I would like to know is what is the hardener and where do you get it? Thanks gang."

James Fry replied to Terry Waldele's discussion Making a Modern Survivalist's Hiking Staff"If this project was mine, I'd look for a piece of rattan, instead.

James Fry replied to James Fry's discussion Stabilized Scales in the group Bladesmith Babes"Hey Jan. The blades came from Mr. Metzger at PremiumKnifeSupply by way of ebay. The several scales and rods I'll use were liing around. As for pictures, I don't know. I might have to wait for the nine year old to learn how to do it…"
Jan Carter replied to James Fry's discussion Stabilized Scales in the group Bladesmith Babes"James,
I agree that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find creative designs for the the non-metalsmiths among us that still want to create knives. Can you share the site you found those on? Those do sound like some nice plans…"
