    Handle thickness?

    Not really related to handle thickness but I'll throw this out there for anyone that doesn't already know about them. I use 1x72 scalloped belts for handle shaping. They're fantastic for curves and radiuses.

    Hollow grinding question

    I have blocks of wood that I've ground to have the same radius as my wheels (8" & 12") with leather glued to them. These are my main backers for sandpaper but I also have dowels of different diameters to use in tricky spots like the plunge.

    Which Bandsaw blade?

    WIP on two new designs

    It can be difficult for a maker to carve out a particular style for themselves. For instance, many people can tell a Michael Burch or Todd Rexford or Todd Begg knife from across the room. I think you've done that quite nicely. I can definitely tell a Von Gruff design when I see it. BTW of...
