F, nice work!
Mr E, very creative, sir! Are the pick up sticks just crammed in there? Can I steal yer design?
BTW, wouldn't that be a 'steel' rather than a 'sharpener'? ;-)

I know several SEALS on that base. There's been a nice peak out front the last few weeks.

Nice one Edge. Happy 2016. My friend bought a junky teardrop and the hatch needed a do over. A little cherry and a koa accent. $100 friend price.
I hope that you're well. Keep posting up the good stuff.

Nice flip, I noticed that tear drop down there and the Gnarly Carrot work looks good, can't wait for that to open.
Made a sheath this weekend outta kydex for a knife I did for Mindy.
After heating one side for 10 minutes at 300° the kydex becomes noodle like and you press it to form the blade.
Pressing the other side
Holes drilled for rivets.
Rough shape, final shaping I did with my circular bench grinding wheel.

Justin,
You're a master. Great stuff. I'd love to check out your shop sometime.
( did you see the 2015 Master Knife Maker Video? Epic.)

Reilly, yes they're cast in an acrylic epoxy. Love how it looks, but a total pain to work with. Hard to cut with a band saw, was thinking should I really be pushing this hard? Shaping with a belt grinder was tough too, because I'd have it where I wanted then a big shell would pop out and I'd have to grind more. Long story short, I'll stick to wood.
Thanks flip, though I am far from master status, but love making them. Tons to learn still, just getting into grinding from bar stock. Haven't seen that video, but will check it out.

That's the first thing that occurred to me. Couldn't you brush on one more thick layer?

Thanks Susan!
Reilly that was the backup plan, but it worked out without filling. Their epoxy was greenish, but think clear would have worked.
Flip, that is awesome, true mastery. Hope SGropp sees that.
