That’s a pity as the "dilithium crystal chamber" on mine as just packed up and I am sure a “sub light starship engine” would have fitted, never mind I will have a look on EBay for one.

CaptainBeaky Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 I've been dipping in and out of this thread, but that picture is the first tie I have gotten an idea of the scale of the brute! As belt grinders go, it's huge! Perfect size for making swords... Looking forward to seeing your designs in the metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me a shipping address and they will be in the post in the morning. You have about 5 1/2 inches to 6 inches length to play with. They are slightly curved which should fit nicely to the hand. They are quite old so should not move when you slice them...I think harvested around 1989. Some goat and bog oak as well. When you get to the folder let me know what size the handle will be as I have lots of smaller stuff. you have mail............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
