Can an auction be set up for products?

Can an auction be set up for tobacco related items that may have been updated or improved on?

Homeade stuff is only worth so much for posterity.

As for an auction...I'm not sure how to do one, but you can just have a ending time for an item. Members can bid simply by posting a bid or sending a you a PM.

Probably work better if all bids were posted in the thread. More transparent that way. I've see Pm bid style auctions turn into a regular sh*%-storm on other forums.

Antique pine board, with old file cutter. Best offer + shipping and handling.

1 1/2 years use and not no complaints other than living in the past where you make your own s..t. It makes a fine shred but is slow compared to modern methods.

Pm barg
offer good thru new yrs pm.

Ive got some nice buildin trusses for sell.

Can you show me with picture, how the file is connected to the wood. It does not look like heavy duty.
I usually cut it with hand and knife, but with device would be easier if it's well made.

 

[Boboro]

They are shed or shop tops. You have to come here to pick them up.I dont know the spics. on them just seein if enybody had interested.

RainMax, It measures 15 1/2" x7 1/2" x 2" . The file is attached with a 1 3/4" wood screw with a thin plastic washer behind and small metal washer in front. It has been doubling as a cigar wrapper cutting table lately. It can be planed and sanded to look like one hundred year old new antique clear heart pine. I don't need it so pm if your interested . It probably would be cheaper to make one than pay the shipping to you. I heat treated the file after grinding one beveled edge and removing the teeth on board side. I only needed to resharpen once so far after 1 1/2 years of use.

Tim, how did you drill the hole in the end of the file?

 

[BarG]

Using those golden bronze colored bits, a small hole first then the size needed. What are they called? It was also heated first and then cooled. A case hardened file will make a razor sharp poor mans knife. Better than a melted toothbrush with razor attached.

You're right. I heat them up in the forge till red and quench in old motor oil. Hard as the dickens.

 

[BarG]

I should have used oil but I used water and it cooled to fast to give a slight bow to it. Live and learn . I wanna be a blacksmith in my next life.

TiN - Titanium nitride coated

 

[BarG]

Been out in to the woods to long myself. I try to keep up! Titanium kept eluding me.

 

[DGBAMA]

cobalt bits (the material not the brand) give best results for drilling hardened metals or stainless. next up TiAl coated (normally black colored), followed by Titanium (the gold ones). Ti bits are just a coating, so buying a quality brand bit makes a huge differnce too. The cheap ones have really thin coating and soft steel underneath and definitely underperform in hard metals. "titanium" has become a selling point that even cheap brands with low quality control have taken advantage of. I would take a quality HSS bit over a cheap Ti coated one given a choice. Have had good luck with both VA and Hansen brands.

 

[BarG]

Your right there DGBAMA, buy the better brands or rely on HSS bits, and learn to sharpen.

 

[SmokesAhoy]

hi guys, off topic, but you wanna start a tutorial thread for one of those poor man file knives? it sounds really cool.

 

[BarG]

I am not right person to ask , all mine are different. With a roughin on regular grinding wheel get to approximate desired shape or edge. finish with a white oxide wheel to keep from overheating while final edge is accuired . Cool with oil not water. Does this help?

My Mexican friend and neighbor -slash fighting cock raiser - showed me his file knives. Whoh.They were sharp and tough. Any block of wood on the end makes a handle. I used to make him wooden eggs for the chicken snakes till he discovered that the plastic easter eggs work just as well.
