All depends on the etch...I have etched a whole blade down to get rid of some before. I hardly ever have this issue because I can always take it to a big gelt sander.

Oh Jill. A woman after my own heart. A musket...a baskethilt...several axes...and blades all around. Love it!

Well after hours and hours of reading through code and trying to save our website, we decided to wipe it clean and start all over. We managed to save something’s, but most is gone. Google and Yahoo have already cleared us. Some other protection services may take a day or two, but we are all clear and safe to browse again I will be working every night to get our site back up better then before. Thanks for all the support thought these times. I can't tell you how down I have been because of this. It's going to take awhile to get it back to where it was but at least this time I can make it exactly how I everyone wants it. During this rebuilding stage we could use as much support as we can. Just some extra traffic and feedback would be great. Once again thanks for all of the support through all of this. Don’t know why anyone would hack our site but it happened and I hope that is far behind us now. For everyone that dropped us emails or PM's I want to say thank you and I hope to have a nice site up and running for you all soon. www.BaltimoreKnife.com

UK customs is heaven compaired to Canada's.

Sorry Capt. Been running around like a mad man the last few weeks. I will get you those measurements.

So, we have these cups sitting around that are just a bit to thick. We didnt have much use for them. I decided I would try faceting the cup just like I do a pommel to take the wieght off and this is what came of it. I think it turned out awesome and I am already preping for a spiral faceted cup. I only have one fuzzy shot of the blade. It is one of our standard diamond ground rapier blades. As always comments welcome!

My friend Dave has started to make a few cool things in his spare time that I thought is cool enough to share with you. He is getting better with each piece. http://steampunkspectacles.com Check him out. I am sure he would love some feedback.

We made this double fullered baskethilt yesterday along with a pair of rapiers and some crazy axes. Anyway. This is a one off blade that I ground from a random piece of alloy. I added some Swatton style fullers up the spine that I think set the piece off. It has a full grind on onbe edge and a flase edge on the back of the blade. The blade is slightly curved and polished. I would have liked to have speant a few more hours on this guy but I thought I would share it with you all anyway. I believe the customer plans to line the inside of the basket with some leather.

MadL you a look great my friend. It has been nice seeing you transition! Well done.

Wait?!?! You do Blunderbuss too? Hmmmm

Lookin good there Mad. Im lovin the custom wrap on all the handles of your weaponry. Nice personal touch.

I am working on it as much as I can. We figured out the problem and it wont get any wurse now but we have to go through the code one line at a time. Its going to take awhile. I put up a redirect page for now. I jsut got fios at home so I have net at home now. I will be devoting all my nights to getting our site fixed. You cant imagine the bummer this has been. I speant about 1000 hours over the winter making this new site from scratch and now i have to redo the whole thing. Sad...

Wish I could be there with you all. We are sending our best. The smithy must stay in port and make the weapons....

By the way this would make a killer article if someone would want to write such a thing.

Wow. Those are scarey as hell. No wonder we all have a fear of the dentist embeded in our DNA.

Hehe. Scroll up a bit. You will see a slightly larger anvil too. Anyway. This baby is finished and on it's way to D. I have some pictures but I dont have any time to upload them today. SHould be a slower day for me on friday. I am restocking my dealer(Legacy Forge) at the CoL ren fest today. 8 cutlasses and 6 broad swords not to mention all the daggers that I can make. Longggggggggg day.

This is a neat thread so I thought I would bump it.
