…my workshop failed when I looked into this box ๐
so many wonderful small pieces of stabilized wood, just got to do something with them,
why not a new knife ๐
…my workshop failed when I looked into this box ๐
so many wonderful small pieces of stabilized wood, just got to do something with them,

…is now ready for the linseed oil ๐
just wonder what to do while I’m waiting for it to get dry? perhaps cleaning up my workshop ๐
…forgot to take some photos during the progress, sorry about that ๐
but here all the parts of the handle isย glued together ๐
and another whoops from me when I was drilling a hole in the back of the handle!!!
since the main part of the handle is cross cut birch, I want to strengthen the last part of it
becouse the tang is just going in about 40mm. in the last pice of wood. But it wasn’t a good idea
to drill so close to the tang, the drill went of ๐ฆ
…on a new one, it’s going to bee the one below of this twoย ๐
think that I have toย bay a new rubber ๐
…and here is the result:
this project gave me a lot of new experience in knifebuilding, so I’m very greatful to you Karl-Erik who give me the possibility, by sending me one of your ful tang blade ๐
I’m not sureย I would have build a ful tang knifeย if you hadn’t ย ๐
but what I’m sure of isย that this isn’t the one and only for me ๐
…and a thin thread…well I’m not so pleased with that ๐ฆ but I have learned a lot by making this sheath and knife ๐
I had to shorten down the needles before I sew the belt loop.
and now it’s just the dying left ๐
…so I can take away the glue clamps ๐
and here I have drilled some nail holes in the sheath and belt loop, perhaps a little bit to big holes but I didn’t have any smaller drill at home ๐ฆย I also glued a pice of vulcan fiber between the leather.
I mark where to drill (with that big drill) and also used it as you can see ๐
tomorrow I’ll will show you how thik the thread is ๐
