Slip joint #1
« on: November 28, 2017, 04:20:00 PM »
This was my first attempt at a slip joint. Worked out much better than I expected and really happy with the end result.  The first picture is a Ruple style jig I built to assist with the spring/blade fit up.

I used 410SS lines, G10 scales and nickle silver pins.  The blade and spring are 1095.

That is really exciting stuff!!
The first couple are very intimidating.
