Fantastic! The Gator belt tip alone is gold because of their cost. 👍 🍻🍻
Hadn't heard of the diamond stone. I usually use a welding brush on the compound abrasives and then the big rubber on them. By far the best tip I have for those is not to get them wet at all as it tends to cause them to 'glaze' a bit, so when you cool your knife off, carry a rag and just wipe the free water off it and it tends to make them a lot less dirty I guess.
I learned back in high school that the belt cleaner is called a 'crepe' block. For maximum effect turn the belt around and clean it in the other direction too. So nice to see you again ;)
Hey Thanks Martin! I've never heard them called that but that sounds like it is the proper name. We should go for a ride sometime now that the weather is warming up👍
@@Simplelittlelife How about Moraine Lake? There is never parking for cars but maybe for motorbikes??
Oh wait, that’s almost 4 hours one way!!
Nice one , never heard of the gator belt and diamond plate. Cheers 4 sharing sir.
That diamond stone on trizacts is a game changer.
Also, my cheap self takes a wire brush to my ceramic belts when they get loaded. Works. I don't rum the machine, just scrun a spot and move it by hand.
Every one of those tips is absolute gold! Thanks so much, Jeremy!
20 years ago when high-school had a wood shop those erasers were at every station. When I started woodworking I bought one and it doesn't take a lot of pressure to get your sanding paper clean, the block will last a long time. Great video!
Brilliant tips! Thx!
Very glad to see a new video from you!
Lordy I love me some gator belts. Yes! I use the diamond plates from harbor freight. Works like a champ.
These are some amazing tips sir! I mean... when do you not want a "realllll nice creammy finish!" on your bevels?!?!
I put my scotchbrite belts in the washing machine (when she's out). Come up brand new, especially if I've used wd40 on them. Warm wash, lots of soap.
Also try polishing compound on the surface condition belts
Love the helpful tips...I looked for the big rubber eraser yoke in Ireland, couldn't find it but then tried on old croc shoe/flip-flop... works a treat
thank you. I used to be pretty good at forging, back when I did a lot, but any advice on grinding is very welcome.
Another fun one on your fine scotch-brite belts is applying some tripoli or zam compound to them. It adds some of that "creaminess" to the finish as well.
Great tips!! Thank you!
Thank you all good advice the only one I had done is use the belt cleaner
Thanks for Sharing!
Awesome to see a new video. Very nice and very helpful and very informative useful video today. Thanks so much. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.
I have used the rubber eraser even for when metals like aluminum load up the belt. Takes it right off!
I've used old flip flops with good success but the belt cleaning block works the best. I've also tried silicone spray on my scotch bright belts but never WD40, I'll have to to give it a whirl.
Thanks for the tips
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
I use the sole.of an old hiking shoe.. works well.
Dear Jeremy. I have never seen such an sandpaper. I hope I can find it in the Iranian market. The question is whether it can be used for wood as well. I use a type of German sanding called Klingspor which is excellent. I used different brands made in different countries, but the German Klingspor is really different. Of course I used it on wood, I do not know what it is like on metal. that was perfect . Thankful👍👍👏👏
I wonder if anyone knows the shelf life of butt jointed belts.hiw long can they be stored and still be usefull without joint failure.
How can I get a gator trizact 1 by 30? Been looking everywhere and I’ve seen them on you tube HF 1 by 30. Any ideas?
Is there a particular brand you recommend for the gator belts?
Where do you buy your belts from. I know your south of me Im from edmonton.
Okay I'm a total knife noob. But I've made a few beautiful knives now. But I've used wood pins and wood scales. Is this that big of a deal? My thinking is what on earth would you be doing with a knife to need steel pins. If you are worried about the pins breaking then maybe you should be using a different tool. I understand if it's a big knife for chopping wood but small EDC stuff I'm not too sure.
What the heck is that adjustable shop vac tube called? I can't find it anywhere.
