So I am doing my first tapered tang knife, and was wondering what the simplest method of drilling the scales was?
I have already drilled the tang and tapered it.
I have seen people glue one scale to the tang, drill it, flip it, then do the other side. But it seems like there would be a simpler/quicker way of doing it.
I only have a small bench top drill press, so big complicated jigs won't really work to hold the knife 90 degrees to the drill bit.
Any help or suggestion would be much appreciated!!
