With all the talk in that other thread about a lack of content around here, I thought I'd toss this up just for kicks.

There are many ways to do it... this is just one method. (the right one of course, but still just one) HaHa, just kidding with that last part. ;) :)

There's almost no sound because I didn't talk and I edited out a lot of radio noise.

Thanks Nick

You were sorely missed.
 
Thank you Nick!!
When you drilled the pin hole into the tang, did you account any way for the tang tapering?
 
Thanks Nick, this is actually fantastic timing and extremely helpful for my current knife project. Any suggestions on where to get a broach like that?
 
Thank you very much for the vid.

Your video comes at an interesting time where we all can appreciate why having experienced knifemakers on the forum is so great. Without your experience many of us would be reinventing the wheel in out shops.
 
Very cool Nick!

I've yet to do a hidden tang, but it's definitely on my list, so this video helped immensely!
 
Thanks as always for your contributions Nick. It is appreciated. I have to figure out why my hidden tang holes are not straight through the center axis of my blank.
 
Thank you Nick!!! I have yet to attempt such a design. When I do, I'll come back to this now bookmarked video! You da man!
 
Thank you. This is the way I do it, but there are a few tricks I can use to streamline my process. We should start calling you Professor Wheeler. :D :thumbup:
