Clarke (permanently) converted wood lathe /polishing lathe

Bench mounted polishing lathe with variable speed, this is the best polisher I have had yet.

Comes with 2x m3 scotbrite mops and a collection of worn standard mops with compound

Clarke CBS250 10 wood band saw

Great saw comes with one worn belt fitted and one new.

CLARKE CS6-9C BELT AND DISC SANDER

Heavily used machine , very useful as you can imagine for flattening blanks and handle materials .

Clarke CDE1000 dust extractor

Used but works great still .

Electrolyte metal etching machine

Great machine made in the uk , easy to use

Steel and knife blanks

Large sheet of 15N20 steel, this can be hard to find and expensive when you do find it.

The sheet is 2mm thick 1m long and 35cm wide , its in the annealed state (soft) and is the portion of the steel that resists acid etching in pattern welded steel , there are two smaller overcuts with this and some other bits of o1 tool steel so you can make a billet up straight away .there are also 5 damasteel (stainless steel Damascus steel) blanks 2 kitchen knives and 3 utility knives , they are not heat treated yet , plus one bar of silver steel 34.5cm long 2.5cm thick also annealed ready for forging. I may find other bits and add them to this before collection!

Handle materials

Well over 100 handles worth of African hard wood, very hard and dense wood called wenge , looks great and has a really nice grain when polished .

Many off cuts of synthetic materials like micarta, G 10 etc, enough for some small knives and also plenty for stacked washer handles also plenty of leather for stacked washer handles to.

There are maybe 2 or 3 red stag antlers there to, nice for stick tanged knives.

Brass sheet for liners. brass, ally and steel tubes and pins for fixings and lanyard tubes, plus a bar of brass for guards/bolsters/pummels.

I have some very nice fixings for folding knives in there to, bronze washers, pivot pins and fixing pins, mostly in torx head.

Chemicals and additives

There is one pot of black epoxy additive for colouring epoxy to fill file work on knives. One chemical blacking kit for cold blacking carbon steel, ferric chloride granules for etching blades/pattern welded steel. Boric acid powder for flux when pattern welding and some silver solder and flux for soldering guards etc on knives .also one liquid inlay (black)

Templates for knives machetes and sheaths

I have all my templates for knives plus conceptual drawings and more than 10 cad files.

There are loads here from small finger through utility neck knives right up to kukris and machetes. Lots I never made or where one offs. Literally years of work in paper digital or wood form. There are some sheath patterns in there to. so if you not very skilled with correct knife design or want something you know will work but want to adapt they are there , you could also order laser cuts from the designs and have 100 or more delivered to your door ready to grind into knives !!

Some of the designs have been very successful and have sold in the hundreds so you have security there and you know they are a very sellable product !

Vertical welding forge

I made it myself as they are not commercially available, this is bar far the best and most versatile and controllable I have made (this is mk7) it comes with a modified swan forge burner, that he been adapted to be forced air /propane.

Comes with 2x blowers for air feed (one needs wiring) the forge its self which will with stand welding temperature all day long , so many years of work from this.

It has a high quality regulator with flash arrester new hose, regulator key lots of spare parts for adapting the burner if you want to and the original swan regulator.

In terms of versatility I can anneal steel in this, forge a blade, heat treat and weld pattern welded/Damascus steel. Once its heat is built up you can choke it right down for forging etc.

I have forged an 11.5 lbs billet of pattern welded steel so it can do the work very very well.

Very used pillar drill with cross vice

Im not going to tell porkpies this machine is almost knackered but still drills holes well and you can fit the cross vice if you wanted to mill out slots etc , Im not charging for this its just in with the sale.

 

More things may turn up and I will add them if they do!!

A great little business opportunity for someone or a great place to start for enthusiastic hobbyist.

Collection and cash is needed on this, you may want a van or large trailer to collect it all !!

£1,500 Ono

 

All the best, matt .

      Haven't been on here in a while and haven't been shooting in a while so I'm deciding so sell some gear and focus on other things.
      Firstly is my BSA lightning tactical xl in .177 comes with hawke hd 3-9x40 scope, one piece mounts and a LED ray gl2 torch with flip up red filter and buffalo river case.
      Only fault with the gun is the front sling swivel is missing.
      I also have a mad dog growler jacket in APG size medium
      A top gun skeet vest size medium
      British army Dpm smock medium-large
      British army issue jungle boots size 11
      Large jack pike shooting hold all
      British army cam net unsure of size but large enough for a personal hide
      I would like to see £130 for the rifle but I'm open to offers for everything together in a bundle
      Collection only for the rifle but the other items I can post and take paypal payments
      I'm in Warminster Wiltshire
      Thanks
