laurence, I put a drill chuck in my mill and turn it by hand to tap 2-56 hols, don't know if your new drill press will turn free by hand, have not used it with a 80 tap but do all other sizes in that manner. Deane

Never sell your lathe until you can't stand up to use it any more, still have a 14"x40" lathe, would have bought a Prazi yesterday if I could sell some knives and I am 78. Deane

Thanks for the kind comments guys, when I get to a point of progress will post some pictures, think the only thing that will give me a problem is the winding stem. Calvin if you weren't so faraway I would come and get some instructions on making folders, yours are very nicely done. Deane

Interesting thread, well I got out of high school in 1953 custom cars were a big thing at the time so served my time as a bodyman and painter, when I had to do it for a living all the fun went out of it. Went to driving a dump truck and doing excavation for houses and commerial buildings, then...

Used two pieces of mammoth tooth for the scales with a .050" bronze spacer, bronze guard with a 6" cable damascus blade.

I found the carbon fiber on E-bay it was some scrap pieces, nice restoration on that sheath. Deane

Very nice work on your sheaths, what I found using carbon fiber over wood was it is lighter and it cuts the size down and is stronger, if some day you should want to make a full metal sheath get hold of me and will tell you what little I know about it.

LRB. that is a very unique piece you have there I like it nice work, have never made a sheath like that one, I make nickel and silver sheaths, have made some for Bowie's making a case from thin carbon fiber and wrapping with thin leather with a meal throat and tip. Deane
