I'm glad you like it guys. I'm very nervous about the finished item to be honest - although I'm sure any failures will be in my designs and not the workmanship!
There are a few interesting "twists" yet to come, so do keep looking in!

Sorry, I had to do what my niece does to me when I'm making pouches for her.

...Oh you tease...
Are we there yet? please don't say it just round the next corner! can't wait to see this finished.
Today I wanted to get the nickel silver bolsters fitted... These are cut and shaped from extruded bar before being drilled and pinned (rivetted) into place....
This is me drilling the bar stock, to line up with the holes drilled into the blade, before the bolsters are shaped.....
Drilled, shaped and ready to be fitted.....
Pinning the bolsters securely into place, affectionately referred to in the trade as "knocking on".....
Once fitted, rough shaping takes place.....
I managed to get the bolsters in place a little earlier than I imagined, sooooo... I decided to fix the scales... These are them "matched on" and drilled ready to be fitted... Premium, book matched, Desert Ironwood scales secured by nickel silver Corby bolts and epoxy.....
And the project as it has been left for the night... Bolted, epoxied and clamped.....
I want to start hafting to shape tomorrow
