Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIC: See if the hive can help on this one... I need a KVM for two laptops. Need power over USB-C (PD) to both laptops simultaneously. At least 70W each, preferably 100W. I had a VisionTek that fits those specs but never worked quite right. It would flake out. Looks like others have the same issue with them. Just tried a UGreen, and it seems to work, except it only powers the laptop you have up on the screen, so if the second laptop is set to turn off when it is not on power or lid open, you can't switch to it. I'd like to know of good options as well. Asking CITO but they have .g o v funds. I'm using a cheap'O dual display adapter (HDMI) and just swap the USB C connector when i want to switch laptops. It sucks. Use a Logitech mouse and keyboard the has the 1,2,3 can just switch each with buttom press. Sucks though compared to KVM... |

Sucks though compared to KVM... cito products of Wisconsin? they do artificial insemination... in my research, it looks like they can all be flaky. more money more betta The UGreen one worked OK for switching, unit was not an issue if you have separate power supply for each laptop since it only had single channel OD over USB-C. I need dual channel PD. I have a couple more incoming for testing. The visiontech might be the answer, but not as easily returned and costs quite a bit, so it will likely be the last test if I don't find something that works first. I'll let you know what I find. |

A little more work this weekend on one of the slipjoint functional prototypes I'm working on. Got the handle jig machined and started mocking up some simple handles for it.
The green G10 is in place of metal bolsters for now. Those will be metal bars on the production knives. The black paper micarta represents the scale material that will be inlayed in the integral bolsters/liners. It'll make sense once I get to carve the handle out of the assembly. Decided not to use the red liner on the prototype. Next steps are to heat treat this booger, carve out the handles, and start test fitting. I'll adjust my CAD/CAM as needed during the fitting on this one so the production knives will be fairly well dialed in right off the mill with minimal hand work required to fit everything. Only needing to do the final sanding and polishing by hand is my goal.  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached FileAlso cut the nail nick. Had a boo-boo on the first one so got to do it all again!  Attached File Attached File |

Not to bombard the thread but I'm also working on something a little different than what I usually do. Our resident starving engineering student @eagarminuteman is working with me to design his own custom fixed blade. I believe he posted a photo of the 3d printed prototype I sent him but I don't think I've put up any renders/screenshots of the design so far. Here are a few for you guys to check out. A more modern style than I normally do but it's growing on me and a copy of it will likely find it's way into my daypack.
It's fun putting together something for someone and specifying the options exactly the way they want it. We're planning on CPM Cruwear for the blade and some navy blue/ denim micarta handle scales. Some sort of kydex taco sheath at the end but that's still on the drawing board. I'm putting the effort into both this and the sleeveboard slipjoint designs so that I can add them into my offerings the future.  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIC: time to quit the day job I wish. I may try to find something less time consuming (with lower pay I'm sure) and spend more time working on knives. My department recently got bought by one of our franchisees. We were corporately owned prior to that. We franchise our engineering branches just like Mc Donalds. Our fries aren't as good though. This franchisee does things a bit different than corporate branch so we've had some growing pains and learning curves to get over. Overall it's a good thing though. We negotiated raises for all our staff, promotions for a few, they have a better incentive plan, etc. but trying to manage the people and do the production at the same time is getting difficult. I imagine it's the same struggle for everyone who's ever gone from production to management in a small department. |

That man is the perfect tester for my knives, I never know what the heck he’s going to do with them. I fully expect to see some electrical arc burns on it at some point. He’ll probably try to cut bailing wire with it eventually too. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Reubjames: I wish. I may try to find something less time consuming (with lower pay I'm sure) and spend more time working on knives. My department recently got bought by one of our franchisees. We were corporately owned prior to that. We franchise our engineering branches just like Mc Donalds. Our fries aren't as good though. This franchisee does things a bit different than corporate branch so we've had some growing pains and learning curves to get over. Overall it's a good thing though. We negotiated raises for all our staff, promotions for a few, they have a better incentive plan, etc. but trying to manage the people and do the production at the same time is getting difficult. I imagine it's the same struggle for everyone who's ever gone from production to management in a small department. yep |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Reubjames: Not to bombard the thread but I'm also working on something a little different than what I usually do. Our resident starving engineering student @eagarminuteman is working with me to design his own custom fixed blade. I believe he posted a photo of the 3d printed prototype I sent him but I don't think I've put up any renders/screenshots of the design so far. Here are a few for you guys to check out. A more modern style than I normally do but it's growing on me and a copy of it will likely find it's way into my daypack. It's fun putting together something for someone and specifying the options exactly the way they want it. We're planning on CPM Cruwear for the blade and some navy blue/ denim micarta handle scales. Some sort of kydex taco sheath at the end but that's still on the drawing board. I'm putting the effort into both this and the sleeveboard slipjoint designs so that I can add them into my offerings the future. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Minuteman_Render_2024-Oct-13_03-36-33AM--3348272.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Minuteman_Render_2024-Oct-13_03-24-50AM--3348276.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Minuteman_Render_2024-Oct-13_03-24-34AM--3348256.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Minuteman_Render_2024-Oct-13_03-47-47AM--3348289.JPG Looking awesome!

TP photo out of focus, oh well. Dogs were like "WTF are you doing boss?" but then they decided pooping in the yard sounded like a good idea. Hope the neighbors don't look over the fence.
