DJ's crazy. Now with wood!

[DJG097]

Oh so close but still so far...

 

[Galeocerdoshark]

I like where this is going!

If you're going to do it you should put an Axis style lock on it.

Coming along nicely. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Good on you DJ. Its neat to see somebody daring to do something cool, like what your doing man. Will be cool to see it finished. Keep it up:thumbup:

 

[DJG097]

Thanks Todd, means a lot coming from someone like you. As for the knife I'm working on it a few minutes at a time. I have the inside of the handles polishd nicely and might try to shape them tomorrow.

Once the handles are done I'm going to finish the tang and the scales. As for the stop pin hole, it's filling with epoxy as I type because my counter sinking method sucked big ones...

Who modified your Hogue? Looks cool.

 

[1066vik]

it's a prototype.

 

[Tbaggin]

Cool prototype

 

[DJG097]

Got the handles shaped, tang rounded, and now doing some sanding...

 

[Jonny1280]

Wow! It's coming along quite nicely DJ.
Way to step up and do something daring.
I'm interested to see the finished product.

Looking good DJ

 

[GarnetandBlack]

Looks good buddy :thumbup:

Maybe I missed it, but what are you thinkin as far as locking mechanism goes?

It's a friction folder, which means the blade is kept open from the pressure of your hand on the tang.

 

[Galeocerdoshark]

More pics! Pleaaaase

 

[DerekH]

More pics you reprobate! Let's see some progress!

 

[GarnetandBlack]

Yea, what those angry jerks said! we want pics, we want pics

 

[DJG097]

UPDATE!!

Got some sanding fitting and epoxying done still needs a little more sanding but i'm almost there...

Now, one thing that's definitely going to drive me nuts is this...

Cut the pin (OK, screw) to short and slipped so now it has a nice grove in it. Too bad its epoxied in.

 

[1066vik]

heat it up and the epoxy will melt.
boiling water might be hot enough even.
