I am thinking of delving into making folders and wondering what tools I should prioritze, besides the stuff that most guys use for fixed blades, which I have most of already.
I would probably be making mostly frame locks.
I know I could use a more accurate drill press but I am not sure what I should be looking at. Is a small mill/drill useful enough to be worth the cost?
A hand tapping guide seems like a good idea, any recommendations?
A surface grinder would be nice but is not in the cards for now, I am hoping that having Aldo grind my steel to my spec'd thickness will make this uneccesary, for the short term at least.
What am I missing?
