Handle to rounded bolsters

[ArtinNC]

I did this a couple years ago , and though that some makers may enjoy looking at it . It's fitting a handle to rounded bolsters.

It's all a little crude but it works. and you can always make your tools fancier.

Hi Art.
I always enjoy your knives and any tips you pass along. I use the curved bolster cut outs on mosdt of my folders. I rough grind out one; place it on top of the other; grind it to match; keep them both together and use sanding drums in a router fixed in a table to clean them up. A speed control is also nececessary. Frank

I just hope that I can pass along something that makers can use, or get Ideas from.

Franks thanks for the comment. That will work if you don't have a mill, I never thought about that. Is the speed control built in your router??
