Helpful tools

[Gliden07]

I have not been doing this very long and have gotten a ton of help from members of this forum! I just wanted to pass a couple of tools that are reasonably priced that have helped me out. HSS Reamers I bought the 3 sizes that I use for handle pins 1/8", 3/16" and 1/4" all toll these were about 30 bucks. The best bang for buck tool I have gotten is a set of Transfer Punches!! 12 bucks at Harbor Freight (small set) I use these all the time, use them to mark holes for handle pins, scribe the Centerline of blade for the bevel, make rough patterns for handle scales using the 1/4" TP (makes scales 1/8" larger all around the scale) so not to waste very much material. Well that's all I hope this will help someone out like all the folks that have helped me on here!

PS The transfer punches were such a GREAT help I bought the larger set also!
