Good evening, guys (and gals if any are out there)
I'm a new knifemaker and have quite a few designs sketched out on my sketchpad, I would like to take a few of the ones I plan to make more of and make a sort of pattern with them - I have tried it with a few pieces of 1/4 wood, and T1 wood, but they dont seem to hold together great I was thinking of cardboard, but it would be really neat to have some to keep to build up a "inventory" of them. Do any of you do this? I was thinking this was going to be an extremely simple process, but A few attempts this afternoon didn't turn out like I wanted.
I thought of plexiglass sheet but Im not sure it would work on the grinder, or would it just "melt'...
Any pointers would be Wonderful.
Glad to meet you all, and look forward to many unproductive days at my office while I read these.
