Did you. Have a spacer between the two scales when drilling them lee if it’s a tapered tang the holes won’t be inline when the blade is in the middle if you did sorry I missed it atb scott
We all go about doing things different. I used to use the drill press table and adjust that. But this seems to work just fine. I made a jig to do the same thing Also. That’s what great you do what works.
You normal guy that buys a knife doesn't have a clue what time, effort and skill and not to mention dedication goes into this craft it's not till you see these videos you see just what it takes to produce a blade of beauty .cool watching you work as always lee.
Nothing like watching another making with a gentle backing track after a day of making with noise and vibration, calming therapy...thank for sharing Lee!
