    Jimping Preferences?

    Any more I do one 20 cut with a 5/32 half round on either side. It just feels more secure to me. When I wear this 20 cut out I have a 30 cut Grommet waiting to try. I do initial cut at angle to start then lay across blade to cut down.

    Shaping Handles?

    The scalloped belts do not allow the edge of the belt to cut into the steel or handle material. They flex and slide around it.

    Problems with finishing my micarta canvas scales

    You can use windex or what I use lamp oil to keep the dust floated. Wipe with towel and keep it wet when sanding.

    Shaping Handles?

    I slack belt almost all of the sides. Top are ran on a ten inch wheel to smooth. Bottom curves are ran on 3 inch wheel or 1 1/2 slack wheel set up. I normally run to 400 grit then hand sand up to 600-1000 grit.

    One or Two Elements

    If it were me I would be looking at pricing, it would look like two small were cheaper than one large. if a small one goes bad then it is less of a pocket hit than one big one.

    Sheath Glue.

    I use Masters. The original amount is over a year old. When it gets thicker I add thinner to it and shake well. Just keeps going.

    Thong tube

    For a change drill them to 9/32 and use carbon arrow shaft for the tubing.

    Thong tube

    I just make sure when I start a 1/4 inch tubing in a hole drilled with a 'F' drill that i just start the tubing in the hole and apply epoxy all the way around the tube. This to me insures that it has contact all the way through the hole.

    New sheath maker

    My grand son an Oklahoma City policeman started doing some leather work as a relief. I liked one of his scrolls and told him I would give him a body and let him do HIS magic. Looks good to me!
