Roger, it takes time and not just the abscent minded passing of blade across the belt, you need to slow down and notice what you're doing im new to this but i'm getting better, my *personal* opinion, take from it what you want and leave what you want is i dont want to depend on jigs and tools...

very nice work your nephew is very lucky :) wear GOOD respirator when working with synthetic and phenolic material! i never used 1084 but i THINK (and dont take my word for it) that might be good performance still

I want to give a very big thank you to Beth, from usaknifemaker. She is patient with me on all my orders (and that is saying something) helps however possible, and while it might technically be her job, i think she goes the extra mile I mean its really more customer *care* Thanks Beth :)

VERY nice work!!
