my schemes of cleaning up…

…my workshop failed when I looked into this box ๐Ÿ™‚

 

so many wonderful small pieces of stabilized wood, just got to do something with them,

why not a new knife ๐Ÿ˜‰

whoopsadaisy!!!

…forgot to take some photos during the progress, sorry about that ๐Ÿ˜‰

but here all the parts of the handle isย glued together ๐Ÿ™‚

 

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 ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

the dying is done…

…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 ๐Ÿ™‚

I’m not sureย I would have build a ful tang knifeย if you hadn’t ย ๐Ÿ˜‰

but what I’m sure of isย that this isn’t the one and only for me ๐Ÿ™‚

big holes…

…and a thin thread…well I’m not so pleased with that ๐Ÿ˜ฆ but I have learned a lot by making this sheath and knife ๐Ÿ™‚

I had to shorten down the needles before I sew the belt loop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and now it’s just the dying left ๐Ÿ™‚

the leather is dry…

…so I can take away the glue clamps ๐Ÿ™‚

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 ๐Ÿ˜ฆย  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 ๐Ÿ™‚

tomorrow I’ll will show you how thik the thread is ๐Ÿ™‚
