TKroenlein KITH 2019

[opaul]

Looks great!

 

[Chris Railey]

That looks very good.

Drawing down little by little. Time to get the guard to handle fit dialed in, finish sanding everything, etching the metal work and finishing the wood.

 

[Randy Lucius]

That looks very nice! Clean work.

 

[Mark Barone]

That is really nice.

 

[tkroenlein]

Thanks fellas.
There's plenty to wrong yet, and I think that picture is over generous for the looks.

Mam, do I ever know that feeling! None the less, it's looking good.

 

[Merle]

Looking really nice I think.

 

[Jason Volkert]

Looks real good to me. I like the handle shape

 

[opaul]

Doing a great job!

 

[tkroenlein]

I was near to foregoing the swedge but tried any way. Turned out ok.

 

[Bruce McLeish]

Tapers beautifully. Good job.

 

[Sean Jones]

That turned out great!

 

[tkroenlein]

I really don't have any idea if I'm doing any of this right, but I etched my parts this evening and this is what I got. One side of the blade is markedly more aesthetically pleasing, but for my first foray into this San mai business, I'll take it.

 

[Daniel Macina]

Beautiful work sir!

 

[tkroenlein]

I think I'm finally ready for glue up. I think.

 

[soundmind]
