[CAUTION!!! I've been having issues w/ new photobucket, so please excuse whatever these pics turn out to be!!]
So, here we have a small 'fat utility' in O1 & Bubinga. Everything was finished before assembly. Mixed my epoxy and coated the tang, cleaned off extra, coated the scales and cleaned, assembled, clamped, cleaned all squish-out, and attempted to center the three pins. This is when I realized I mixed 5min. epoxy!!!
I tried adjusting them with a punch & small ballpien, no good. Tried heating a piece of pin stock chucked in the drillpress and pressing them, no change. [3 times]. If I keep messing around, it'll end up in the scrap pile.
Look closely at the pics and you decide if it's something you can use.[I sure don't need any more shop knives!!]
More info in the next post...........
