ahh... the "King of Queens"... to check, I googled a pic of his garage, and there was the sign. I would have never known that....

It stuck with me because I always wondered if it was made up for the show though never bothered to Google it.

I always loved Jerry Stiller on the show, and funny enough that redhead he's always causing trouble for is actually his daughter in real life and spences' mom Veronica who Arthur really has no interest in is actually his wife of many many years I real life.

Just to add some knife content here's a minor modification in a sharpening choil I added to my Buck 212.

Yours appears to have retained the slimness of the original. Mine is quite a bit fatter than the original. I wanted it to be somewhat thicker, so I'm ok with it. Nice job... I've not worked with micarta yet...

Thanks. I think yours came out great, very clean looking. I used the original liners, as they were in okay shape. It’s not as thin as the original because my scales are thicker. It’s about the same thickness as a beer scout.

I like working with micarta. I don’t have a lot to compare it to, but it seems easy to cut and shape. Also more forgiving when I’m doing the pins than the wood I tried to work with once.

That looks like a good thickness. My other two rebuilds have been with wood. The bone slabs I bought sort of dictated how thick the knife would be. I could have sanded them down further, but would have lost the winterbottom jigging. If I had gone with wood, I could have gone as thin as I wanted... there's always "the next one", though! :cool:

This one was sort of a "change everything" kind of project. Quite a few "firsts" for me. You've convinced me I need to try micarta soon.

I like to thin down the bone, if needed, from the backside, before attaching them. I tend to like them as thin as possible.:thumbsup:

I will definitely do that next time. Doing that would also probably make it bond more securely to the liner. I had one side pop loose when I started drilling holes.
Plus, that would give me more of that good bone dust aroma that we all love so much...:poop:
