    What's going on in your shop?

    Upgraded some of my heat treat process. My first knife in a few years. 1084 bushcrafter for my friend's son. We're all going on a hike next weekend, another first in a few years. :)

    Tips to avoid material screw ups, and our stories of thorough or creative failures

    Finished up a knife over the weekend, had g10 scales. I epoxied the drop off ends together to use for a ferro rod. Mistakenly drilled the hole the same diameter as the rod, decided I could tap it in with a rubber mallet. End of rod on the bench, tapping on the g10, snapped the rod. Still needed...

    Pass around!!!

    You had mentioned these were your first bolsters, and I was impressed! And the tube pins, just not for me. But like I said, they look great. Glad you got some use from my observations. Hope you do another pass around sometime! :cool:

    Pass around!!!

    No pics, Franklin. Didn't even think about it. =( I wouldn't have noticed the little ding on the tip of the blade if Wade hadn't mentioned it first. It looks like it grazed the belt while you were working on the handle, maybe? It's a good looking knife! The blade has nice plunges and bevels...
