Milling integral bolsters/frames for slipjoints

[ken erickson]

I have been busy building knives for my first Blade show this June and also thought it would be fun to put a few videos together for guys wanting to make slipjoints or are just starting out. This is a series of 4 that deal with the method I use to mill my bolsters/frames. I will just embed the first but if you go to my Youtube channel (ne6359) you will see the other 3 and a few other slipjoint related videos.

Great tutorials Ken. Thanks for taking the time to do these. Will you be doing a video on milling the relief for the blade so that it does not run on the frame?
Looking forward to meeting you at Blade.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Bobby,
I do plan on doing one the next time I mill a frame.

Pardon my grammar (I went to public school) I meant RUB on the frame and not RUN on the frame.
