Gday folks, Here is my 2nd slipjoint with damascus i made during my week with Bill Burke, 416 bolsters and liners with mammoth ivory. The engraving on the bolsters was done by young Aussie Manda Guest. This is the 1st deep relief she has done for me. I reckon she just might get to do a bit...

1. West Australian hardwoods, because thats where i live and they are hard, no stabilising necessary 2. Stag...the Aussie stuff is 80% pith, and ordering sambar tapers and rounds on line you end up with rubbish. I presume you mean wood so Buckeye, not available in Aus but i managed to collect...

Well done mate. Will be glad to have a look at it in Adelaide. Should i bring a hammer to move that blade across a tad.......

I believe Ed is trying to help save you lots of time, energy, money, steel and effort. You will still have years of fun learning just like the rest of us, but thankfully there a re guys like Ed who willingly lessen the pain and make it fun. Cheers Bruce

Looking good there Mike

Gday folks, Here is the end result of a visit to Bruce Bumps place back in June to learn how to make a feather pattern. An 8.5" fighter with stag and a 4" hunter with some nicely featured Jarrah. I still have another piece for a slip joint blade which i will try and get done for the Boise...

Gday folks, Normally i make my own sheaths but i felt this knife deserved a sheath from Mary Carter. Mary had pretty much retired from making sheaths but after some buttering up by Max Harvey and myself, Mary agreed to do it. I think she has done it pretty good:biggrin: Cheers Bruce

Gday folks, Here is a bowie ive just gladly finished for the Rocky Mountain Show in Boise in Nov. Some of you would be aware of an accident i had back in Dec last year when i twisted/broke both bones of my right ankle twisting a large billet of W’s. Well this was the billet i was twisting at the...

Top photos. The cat has a real "Just go away and leave me alone look" about him.

:35:Nice one mate. Its about time you posted again. Yep, a better photo would help!!!

Why not use a drill bit shank as your temporary pivot pin. Some rise and fall indicators are not very thick and the pins tend to wobble around a bit. Bruce Bump made one that is about 3/4" inch thick and by using longer hardened temporary pins your reading will be a lot more consistent. Cheers...

Hey mate, You get to play with all sorts of cool things dont ya. Cheers Bruce
