    1st Stick tang questions

    I want a aluminum pommel with a tang nut of some type. Typically just a chunk of aluminum drilled and rounded ? I also am not sure how thick the guard is when assembled. Mines excessively think and need to take it down some but not sure when to stop. Thanks !

    Just wondered of rounding and threading was more work than just cutting it off and welding bolt.

    That's the size that was in the plans I was following. I bought the burner tip elbow from a knifemaker that was custom making them. I've used galvanized stuff in the past and always did a burn in process. I wasnt near it during the process. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk
