For all you beginner knife makers like myself, who are starting out using conventional sander/grinders such as a craftsman 4x36 (like I have).  Check out the woodcrafters web site for  A&H ZIRC abrasive belts.  These are much tougher than the standard belts from Lowes or HD.  They are similar in price and last twice as long.

Hey Bill, been a long time.

How is the family?

Thanks for the heads up on the belts.

Kenny,
Family is great! Thanks for asking.  Hope you and your family are well.  Let me know when you want another shot at a hog!

Bill

I can't seem to find the site you mention. There are alot of websites with "woodcrafters" in the title. Will you please post a link?

Thanks

I will try to have my wife help tonight!  

the web site for the belts is woodworker.com, catalog # 837585,837606,918958 for the Zirc sanding belts in 4x36.

Thanks!
