Thanks very much. On my to buy list in January is a gas torch for heat treating and reduce this belt sander down from a 4" belt to 2". I wanted my first to be all by hand but that novelty has passed! The walnut needs some oil, can anyone recommend a good one the options seem endless. The...

I couldn't agree more, I just love acquiring new skills and having a meaningful use full item at the end of it. A leather sheaths my next job and iv already got all of the bits needed then refine and remake. At 27 iv got a good few years practice ahead! (Hopefully lol) I really want to get a...

Also the grind is a scandi I believe or flat scandi? its basically a 24 degree blade and I set my file for about 12 degrees to total the 24. It means I have just the one angle to sharpen as im not the best at sharpening and I need all the help I can get but again im learning. I believe its the...

well lets just say you can see the better side of the blade, unfortunately on the other side I didn't get quite a sharp recasso (sp?) the bit where the blade begins. Il do better next time lol. The file work is the vine and thorn pattern I believe and I thought I was biting off a little more...

Thanks for the kind words, works been quiet mid week for the last couple of weeks and it was the push I needed to start. I picked up a 500w belt sander the other day from screwfix (50 quid in the sale and a bargain) to take some of the elbow grease out of my next knife. I was terrified...

Evening guys, I spend many a fine hour on this forum and especially in crafts and diy drooling over your craftsmanship. This is my first attempt at a small neck knife. It's 01 3mm steel to my own design Walnut scales with brass pin and lanyard tube. The blade was hand cut and the bevel put on...

Its mili-put, like a 2 part clay that when mixed goes rock hard and can be worked and has been wet finger smoothed. I used it to get a nice finnish and extra seal to the mechanical joint. Its gone a diffrent colour now like a tan black but looks less garish to be honest. £2.30 a tube and lots...

Cheers bud :)

I totally agree about the glasses lol, i said at the time wrap arounds would be better. I dont like that i could see the rims (i dont wear glasses lol) but at 80p a pair cant grumble. Thats the best bit, it was actually a believable world, oh and if anyone has been to Universal studios and seen...
