I must be doing something wrong.  When I click the insert button, I don't get any links?? It wants me to insert a link between the img symbols but I don't remember what to put in there?

When I did this in photobucket, there were five different options for the type of link you could use (see that post with the yellow arrow).  The one that worked in PB was what they call "direct link"  All the options are in that little screen grab I posted.

My guess is you'll need to see what options picturerail has to try and match the same as directlink in PB.  To find which one worked in PB I just did 5 different posts (using the img radio button in the forum software) each with the different ones from PB's options until it worked

I went to picturetrail.com and finally selected the proper link or at least an image appeared in one of the posts prior.  I think I have it figured out.  Were you successful in visiting my web site at picturetrail.com?
I am going to try to post an image now.

Yes mate...I just saw your Tormek post (green) with excellent homemade toolrest :-)

Nice one

I posted pictures to this web-site.

First of all, wow!  It's weird to see an old SuperGrind 2000 that looks new.  Mine is 11 years old and nowhere near that shiny.

Your Homemade Knife Rest looks great.  I'm also in the process of making one out of aluminum, but it will be a bit thicker, about a half inch or 13 mm.

Don, do you have a scissors jig?  If so you could bolt that piece to the base and you'd be in business.  You may also be able to bolt it to the Tool Rest jig, which I'd like to see someone do.  I don't have that jig or I'd do it myself.

I don't have a scissors jig.  I have a SVD-110 tool rest ordered, should be here in a couple of days.  If you had an opportunity to visit my web-site www.picturetrail.com/smoke810, you will see why I am interested in something to sharpen small blades.

Haha.....Just seen the site Don.

Goodness me you have a few small blades to sharpen there :-)

I also have a "Ton" of tools I use making the gun stocks.

I can imagine Don...keep it up..maybe post a few of your favourites here....they looked beautifully made.  I'd love to see some closeups

Beautiful work, Don! You do any reloading?

[Rob]

And welcome to the forum by the way Don :-)

I gave up on reloading when I sold all my centerfire rifles.  All I have left are about 25 .22 RF's and several hand guns. I really like the older single shots.  Being left handed every time I get a new one, I make a left hand stock for it.  All I use is Walnut and its hell on blades.

I have found through trial and error some really good steel that holds an edge really well.  Unfortunately some don't hold up very well.  Some of the older straight razors have some really good steel that make excellent detail knives that hold an edge for a long time.  I also have found some power hack saw blades that make good knives and scrapers.  Cutting power hack blades into knife blanks is somewhat of a challange but is manageable.  Of course you can take the easy way out and purchase quality carving knives, but I would rather make my own not because of the money, it gives me something to do.

I also like to carve figurines mostly out of Walnut or Bass Wood.  Both are hard on a knife edge.

Recieved my tool rest today and attached the aluminum platform.  It's 15 degrees.  Works great!
