Thread: 8/8 Leopard tank damast with bocote

What a gorgeous razor. The fact that the steel came from a legendary Leopard makes it more incredible. Have any made from a Tiger?

Than you need a 2mm brass rod with a inner diameter from 1,4 mm to tap it.

Thanks. That looks much better than microfastener.

This is a fantastic idea. Perhaps someone will send me some of the steel from this canons. Than we will forge a damast from it. Such a tank-razor-collection could be a very special.

I guess you can find all what you need over here: Apache Clips - Kiev’S Tank Graveyard

Beautiful lines on this one Gabor! Really flows well - love it!

Really very nice work...as usual!

A point for clarification please....

when you said "Than you need a 2mm brass rod with a inner diameter from 1,4 mm to tap it."
Did you mean that you buy a 2mm brass rod then drill and tap it for the bolts to screw into?

or

buy a brass tube with an OD of 2 mm and an ID of 1.4 mm then tap/thread that brass tube?

TIA

Sorry, you are right, I meant a brass tube.

Thanks a bunch, that is a really neat idea.

I just called a machinist friend and he said to come over cause he has a bunch of 0-80 taps!

That is pure awesome. A really good idea, and perfectly executed. Fantastic work!

As always Gabor, a beautiul blend of flow and efficiency. Nice!
