"Nebuli SE Update"

Hey kids,
On Saturday I finished up machining operation #6 of the Nebuli SE blades, which is the final opp.
This is where I add the Lock Bar engagement angle.
Here's a picture of the fixture I use in this opp.
This fixture is also used when milling the outside blade profile from opp. #2.
I sent them out today to the Heat Treaters.
As soon as they come back, I'll put the finish edges on them, and can start assembling a few:)
Let's hope it's soon. They have been sitting on my Proto Butcherettes waiting for more CPM S30V.
It seems they only treat this type of steel for some Peter Atwood guy...lol
Anyway between the 4 Butcherettes & the 39 blades, I would think they should have enough to justify firing up the oven.
We're getting close,
Kenn

"Lock Bar Carbidizing"

Hello all,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving?
Well, I'm at the shop today milling the outside profiles on the new Nebuli blades.
While they are cycling, I have 4 1/2 minutes of idle time.
I decided to multitask, and carbidize the lock bar faces on the Titanium frames.
Carbidizing puts a thin layer of carbide on to the Ti hence making it more wear resistant when the lock bar engages against the hardened S30V knife blade.
Here's a quick video of the process.

"Translucent Green G-10 Lanterns"

Hi all,
So I was walking past the stock rack at the shop the other day, and saw this 1/2" diameter rod of Translucent G-10 sitting there. A light bulb moment occurred, let's make a Self  Lighting Gas Lantern with this stuff.
I machined it all up, inserted the vial, then ran to the bathroom with the lights off to check it out.
Yep, just as I thought, not only do you get the light from the viewing holes, but the G-10 itself glows as well:)
They were tough to photograph, and are quite more impressive in person.
Specs:
.500 diameter * 1.500 long Translucent G-10.
3mm * 23mm SLGV.
#10-32 stainless steel socket set screw drilled thru for additional vial viewing.
20 viewing ports.
 Black Paracord lanyard.
I have 2 0 available out of the 4 prototypes made. !!SOLD!!
USA price is $95.00.
If you'd care to make a purchase, just send an Email to:
jordanmetalart@gmail.com
Happy Thanksgiving,
Kenn
