One other thing I found that keeps from shredding paper when using an 'un-modified' sander is to clamp the blade to a piece of wood so the contact side is flat on the wood and the edge is about 1/8 from the edge of the wood. This keeps the paper from getting snagged on the blade and allows me...

Almost everything needed to build your own knife on it's way, including the bastid file. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

That's a very nice knife. Can I be your friend?:biggrin:

I'll admit it, I've used my electric DA sander and it actually works pretty good. There will be some hand sanding at the end but to get you to the final finish sanding it's great. I will also admit I just picked up one of the triangular oscillating sanders and will try it this weekend. I...

Is the Windex used to clean any residue left from the Acitone (degreaser)?

If the top one is 9" in OAL, name the bottom one Rogers tallywacker.

Nice, your a craftsman.

What are some of the preferred adhesives to hold together a stacked leather handle?

Very nice work!

Even though I've been a member of this forum for a couple of years I still consider myself new. Between long work hours and a short illness I don't get near as much time to engage in my hobby as I would like. So, if my work shows a lack of skill it's really a lack of being able to practice as...

Very nice, love the handle. What species of cascara is that?

Nice idea for the Christmas season. I'll find something to give.

Dyed it. Looks good the black line can be found but not easily. Thanks.

That will be a happy boy. Nice knife.

Makes a lot of sense, getting an idea of what the pulling and rotating does, thanks.

Let me get this right. Instead of tearing up expensive belts and steel to practice grinding on I can do it with a piece of wood on an old AO belt?

No criticism here, that is a nice looking knife.
