Angle grinder flap disc would make saw notches

I have made a few trackers. So far the smallest one is the one i have found most impressive. Still love the biggin.

We like the smaller size knives better too. More practical. It’s ironic that your name is Crocodile Dundee since we were making reference to him!

Try seeing if you can convert a jig saw or something similar, saws all, idk, into something along the lines of a die filer. Just stumbled across your channel, and fell in love. Would love one of those for my wheelchair. As to perma blue after buffing, what about using acetone to remove the compound residue? I know alcohol gets rid of it with no problem. Rubbing alcohol, or some everclear from the shop.

That’s a good idea about the jig saw and the acetone 👍 Thanks for the positive comment! We appreciate it. Glad you like the channel

Careful, I’m full of them. One plus about having more than a few years under my belt, and a whole lot of experiences around the world. Keep safe and I think I’ll see if I could talk to you one of these days about a similar cut. Need something for my wheelchair. To quote myself on when my sgt asked me why I carried such a heavy blade. “Cause if I have to use it to defend myself, I don’t want an arm to stop it.”@@we_build_it

Ha! That’s exactly right. We’ll be happy to make you something one of these days.

Why not just buy a Foredom? Nice knife. Controversial history though. It would have been cool if you could set the teeth.

Ours broke during the video. That’s why we were looking for other solutions.

We should just call them trackers. Tom brown stole the design from someone who trusted and admired him. There's some good videos about it for anybody interested.

Yikes. Didn’t know that 😬

Where is the truth and justice in that! What a sham! CHILDREN AND ANIMALS HATE YOU TOM BROWN!

THAT'S RIGHT.
