Thank you! I really like working with the Osage.That's one of my favorites so far, OP. Nice work!
Thanks! I do the same. I’ve been wanting to play around with hidden pins. I’ve never had a two or three piece handle handle fail, but I know that a hidden pin would be even stronger.... I’d think at least.Thanks Kevin! This is how I go about it.
I angle my grinder to about 23 degrees and I square my tool rest to the belt. Then I use a square to clamp a guide board to the tool test (giving me a 90 degree angle guide to the belt).
I slide the micarta and wood pieces along this guide board to the belt. Theoretically each piece should have the same exact angle. Flip the micarta over (or visa versa) and match it up with the other material. It should match up perfectly.
At that point you can clamp and glue the pieces together.
Are you talking about in the angled joint itself; kind of like the biscuit concept?Thanks! I do the same. I’ve been wanting to play around with hidden pins. I’ve never had a two or three piece handle handle fail, but I know that a hidden pin would be even stronger.... I’d think at least.
It's a really nice wood. Really nice work by the wayThank you! I really like working with the Osage.
