Home made Dremel table
« on: May 26, 2012, 06:30:00 PM »
I have been frettin over a knife that I had to build knowing that to be true to the original plan, I had to have a black line in the fittings. I usually use a black fiber spacer, pretty thin but enough to show a line for contrast.

This particular knife has damascus fittings and I hated the thought of making thin spacers from damascus. So, I decided to try to cut a thin groove around the fitting to give the look since it should black out in the etch. I'm pleased with the way it worked.

Those are some pretty guards.
I noticed dimples in by the tang hole. Is that to give a press fit or accept glue?

Joe,
    It's to tighten the hole a little to stop any slop. The front of the hole is slightly tighter anyway. I bell out the back somewhat. In the event the guard needs to drift only one way, I can punch only one side.

I guess the saying of "necessity is the mother of invention" is definitely true. That knife looks awesome Lin. There is a reason you have the title master smith.
