Mr. Hurst, I'm never good with words, but I will be saying prayers for you and your family.

Thanks guys. I misspoke there, I'm not using washers on this knife. I'm just using the bushing and relieved liners. I'm tring the washers on another knife without the relief. The washers have a 3/32" hole in them. Mike Miller gave me these washers, I will have to look again to see what the...

I guess you could use a dremel, but the finish left from the etcher doesn't bother me. I actually like the two tone look, it's not easy to see once assembled but still there.

Ok got a liner etched. I came up with etching with the etcher for a couple of reasons. I don't have a milling machine, and I like not having scratches on the tang. I had to come up with something. Also at the time I couldn't find any bronze washers less than .01" thick. Since then I've gotten...

My bow hunt from a couple of weeks ago

Ok I've been fitting pearl, and getting ready to relieve the liners. I'll show what I started doing as far as releiving the liners. I use my etcher, to do this I need a pattern. First I take my knife liner to 600 grit, this will be the final grit for the inside of the liner. I didn't make it...

Good call :D Well not much to report tonight. Worked on sanding the pearl some more and got bolsters shaped for the second knife. This weekend I'll post pics of both knives together.

I've seen Phillip Patton post pictures of his platen. It's actually got a curve to it, to help him with that plung. I haven't tried it, but made sense when he posted it.

I like them both, but that top mesquite one is just sexy. File work looks good on that knife.

:D That's what I had thought I remembered reading. Thanks! I did as Rusty suggested and then flat sanded again and didnt see the spots, seems to have done the trick. No pics, after this July I'm trying to be a bit more carefull with flames and such......:p Josh Dabney glad you are...

Here's a mild steel bolster I did that turned out because of an accident. I used Birchwood Casey's Plum Brown. It can be bought at Walmart sometimes or a good gun store. Gander Mountain I think has it, not sure about Academy. You heat up the part slightly with a torch or heat gun then swab this...

Ok got a little more done after getting home tonight. I had another set of blacklip for the other knife but decided to use it on this knife, they are the same knife so no big deal. THe other set is being shipped. Tonight I rough cut the pearl the same as before (well not the EXACT same, I...

Well I found another set, got em headed my way. And they are nice, but the price was not lol.........

307 for me Thanks for the chance

...well I did shoot a pig after the ram....:D Thanks guys. Well I have more bad news to report. I measured 500 times and cut the second scale too short. That's right I ruined a piece of black lip pearl at least for this knife. :o I do have another set I'm working on roughing out for the...

Aaaahhh, back on this gentlemen, and thanks for the well wishes. Made it out of the quaranteen room and back to work today. Yesterday my in laws came to kidnap my little boy before he got sick, my wife has come down with the flu as well. Here's a shot of my Texas Doll ram. A day or two before...

Glad to hear this was able to help you shankmaker.

Thanks again, I'm going with 307

Yeah I've been staying in one room. I tested positive for the swine flu this morning. It stinks not getting to hold my little boy, but I dang sure don't want him to get it. I got chest xrays for pneumonia, he didn't see any. But he said as bad as m lungs sounds I need to be carefull. Crazy how...

Well guys made it in from my bow hunt this morning at 3 am. Shot a Texas Doll ram with my bow, as well as a wild boar. Got a few hours of sleep and woke up way to early. Worked on the slip joint for 45 minutes, now I'm laid up with the fever and flu. NOT THE WAY I WANTED TO END MY HUNT! Hope...
