…some more pictures of the progress π
…with the first knife in my new workshop π
polishing the front of the bolster before it’s time to glue the blade π
but first se how the blade fits into it
mixing some black colour pigment into the glue
and then it’s time to glue the first spacers π
…to sketch on my first knife, that will be build in my new workshop, today π
stabilized golden dyed birch root, mamoth tusk and stabilized dyed mountain ash, that’s what the handle will be built of.
I will also use a 90 mm. long blade in AEB-L steel, grinded by Robert Mattsson.
I’ll guess it will have some tin spacers to π
…it’s not good to take a longer brake from sewing a leathersheath π¦
but I’m pleased with the knife π
…still looks chaotic in my workshop, I manage to sew this leathersheath yesterday π
that knife has been waiting for this sheath for nearly four monts π
…my workshop isn’t finished yet as you can se π¦
in the meantime I’ll show you a pictur of the last knife i finished in my old workshop, just hoping that I soon can show you the first knife build in my new workshop π
…after spending the last week in Ludvika where the Nordic chamionship in knifemaking was held.
I guess that I have to startΒ building my new workshop now, since I brought this machine with me back home π
…that I finish in my “old” workshop π¦Β I guess it will take a while to get my new one ready for knife building,
so please be patient with me if I’m not update my “not every day updateΒ blog” for a while π
just got some finaly polish of the handle to do, and then it’s ready π
…in my workshop lately π¦
I’m about to move my workshop (and the rest of my home) in a few weeks, and I guess it will take a while for me
to fix my new one workshopΒ ( my wife will not have the some priority as me π¦Β )
But today I sew a leathersheath for a knife that I’ll send to the competition in Ludvika π
