Karl,
What type of magnet did you use on that grinding block?

It's just one of those tool bar magnets for mounting on your bench to hold tools.
I just mortised a slot in a block of wood to hold it.

Not at all, Kevin. That link is not where I got mine, I've had them so long I don't remember where I got them.
I just used that link to show what they were.
I would imagine one could get them at any hardware store or big chain store.

I know your intent was not a teaching video Karl but your explanation on grinding and sanding was spot on. It was one of the obvious things in life we over look just so we can make things difficult.

I got the same message for both parts 6 and 7. Hopefully, we can get on to see them soon. I have really enjoyed the first 5!

Thanks! Can't wait! I was home from work today nursing some intestinal disharmony and was able to watch the first 5. Now I don't feel like I wasted my day!! In fact, I learned more here than I would have at work. Thanks Karl, for taking the time to do these videos. You are helping more people than you realize and it's great to be able to put not only a face to the name but also see your personality!

Karl, nice video, question and I may be putting the cart before the horse here, but then you are grinding the blade from ricasso to end of tang and there is a width difference in the tang and ricasso will the ricasso have a bevel on it, front to back? I think you surface grind the ricasso but I may be wrong, let me know or I can wait for #9
thanks Dana

Dana, I'm only grinding about a few thousandths taper from the front of the ricasso to the end of the tang.
Next, I will take the knife to a variable speed, reversible disc sander and flatten it even more.
Across the length of the ricasso from one end to the other, it really does NOT need to be flat! Only from top to bottom.
That said, if I had a surface grinder - I would use it and the ricasso would be perfect.

Karl- How could one obtain the plans or the built frame for the disc grinder you show?

Karl, I know this is how you build your knives, but you are showing me a lot of different tricks or short cuts, Can't wait for the rest of them, Thanks

I would not know the answer to either one of those questions.
The guy who built them only made a few of them, and I got the last one. He really only built a handful for his own production. He has four disc sanders lined up in a row on a bench.
He had two extra frames sitting on his table for sale last year at the Badger Knife Club show in Wisconsin and I got the one you see here.
I know of no plans.
I will see him in a few weeks back at this same show and see if I can get him to make some more.
They're the best I've seen.
