Half scale Lincoln and Raven axes

The first half of the video demonstrates sanding and preparing two small axes to electrochemical etch the classic logos of a Lincoln ax and a Black Raven ax.
The second half demonstrates a process I use to splice sanding
belts for an expanding lapidary wheel and custom small sanding blocks I manufacture.

ALL OVER THE WORLD THIS MORNING people are seeing the light and making sanding belts . thanks !

[@josephsteffen2378]

Awesome invention!

[@MegaCountach]

Thanks for the great video Paul! Useful information, cheers, Doug

[@shanek6582]

Best part about your forgery is the warning on the bottom of the Lincoln scene "beware of imitations", I've got a different sense of humor I guess. Thanks for making the video, it's a good day when I see a new Paul Hamler video.

Dubuque Iowa! That a hour north of me, I’m in Davenport Iowa.

[@paulhamler8315]

Rob have you visited
Bob Dzuricky's you tube videos?

[@robm9860]

Paul Hamler yeah I have, I like your approach on things much more.

[@paulhamler8315]

Ok I'll add it to the list.

[@robm9860]

Thank you sir

[@johnathanelliott5143]

Love the content, I would love to make my own black Raven axe. Any tips on where I could get a stencil

[@sblack48]

Why doesn't the salt solution run under the silk screen? Is the screen stuck down and sealed? Or is it because the pad is just barely damp? Also, could you describe how you make your silkscreen and where you source the screen material? Great video. Thank you.

[@paulhamler8315]

It is just barely damp

[@patwicker1358]

Paul, your videos are all very interesting and enjoyable. I would like to have seen how you made the silk screen image.

[@paulhamler8315]

I send the artwork to a company called Marking Methods, at some point you realize there are specialist that can do it faster and cheaper than having to learn a new process.

[@strange-universe]

Ok, making a list of things Paul Hamler does not do...
1. Make silk screens
Alright, that seems like a complete list as far as I can tell.

[@paulhamler8315]

I beat Steve Mazark at pool in San Diego once but it was after I stayed in a Holiday Inn.

[@andrewlathrop5157]

Hello Paul, awesome video. you mentioned that you were manufacturing some sanding blocks and that they'd be available in the next few weeks. where can I look into buying one when they do become available?

[@Daniel-vq9zb]

Do you make the silk screens?

[@paulhamler8315]

No I use a company called Marking Methods

[@ironmyno]

I am not familiar with the Mylar. What type and where can buy it?

[@paulhamler8315]

Buy the green micro sandpaper like I used

[@ironmyno]

Paul Hamler thank you sir

[@JeffKnoxAZ]

Thanks Paul. Always interesting, and useful. You might want to check out CombatAbrasives.com. I don't think they offer Trizak, but their other stuff is good, and at a good price. Have you ever tried the material from those tough shipping envelopes from FedEx as a splice backer? Might be just the ticket.

[@paulhamler8315]

Jeff thanks for the link it looks interesting, I haven't tried the fed Ex envelopes but have tries the USPS with limited success.
