Congratulations, Andy! And if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. And merry christmas!

I completely agree, Graphite, I just wanted to make people aware who only read this forum scarcely (and there are quite a few of them) and then think “this must be complicated”. But you’re completely right it is not and it makes live easier.

Chris, are you making all of these adaptations yourself (with your helpers)? The only thing I’d be worried about is that if you make so many changes not backed by the WordPress community it could become difficult to maintain.

Oh, and what is stream activity?

I got it.

Isn’t this exactly what Tom was saying? You could easily try it out by using a pencil attached to a rod, so that the rod is complete vertical.

Great subject, by the way, guys! The only thing I have to be wary of is not to make things too difficult for beginners to comprehend, so that the WEPS gets the impression of being a bit difficult in use…[Read more]

View profile sometimes looks good. Sometimes I get an error message ”
My Profile
[userpro template=view max_width=100%]”

Also maybe e a way to get to the other way to get to private message (Edit profile)? And my PM’s are still gone.

I’d start, like Clay, wth naked eyeballing. Next step would be a microscope 50x where you can actually measure the edges if you take pics. And then maybe higher enlargements

This is a great post! You describe, I think, an accurate way of finding the sweet spot (or multiple sweet spots if you want to re-clamp the knife).

Basically, this is also what I do to find the sweet spot, only without the tools. (And in addition I usually don’t re-clamp a knife more than once and I put the backs of knives often on the pins – a…[Read more]

Thanks guys for your replies.

Am I correct in assuming that 200x provides in practice still a workable DoF (yes, I meant Depth of Field) and that a 500x microscope provides too small a DoF?

And I cannot find your initial topic on your microscope back, Graphite, do you have a pointer for me? And do you happen to have any pictures taken with the…[Read more]

I think it works pretty good. But tried you try the hanging hair tests for a really sharp blade (http://www.coticule.be/hanging-hair-test.html  )?

Hi Eric, welcome to the forum, too. I support Marc in that is probably the most advanced WE 130, but the stones don’t realy differ. Basiccally the WE 130 is more precise, repeatable and easy to clamp. But as far as sharpening itself goes, it doesn’t matter that much. If you want to reporfile a Shun I’d start 100 grits, but some people here sta…[Read more]

Here everything works fine now, with the exception that PM’s are not available.

I also noted in the accounts section that my postal code is not correct anymore. (I do have a rather oddly formatted postal code, because it’s Dutch.) Has there been some kind of conversion that did no go well 100%? And when I view my address, the postal code is shown…[Read more]

Great document, Graphite, thanks!

Maybe someone with write-access to the knowledge base could save it there. Chris?

I personally don’t have a problem with previous PM’s disappearing, but it would be nice if you could give us a warning a few days ahead, so we can save the ones we don’t want to lose. (A simple copy-paste into a Word-document would solve the problem for me, I think.)

If you click on the link Curtis gave you, you arrive directly at the correct topic. No need to scroll through the entire discussion.

Unfortunately I think I don’t fully understand your metal bender idea.

Great photo’s,  Graphite! Like Justin I’m interested in how you made them. (If you didn’t use a scope, what lens and settings did you use?)
