My rehandle and shield projects (with tutorials)

Look out world...I'm learning how to modify slipjoints! This really opens up some creative doors for me

Camillus TL-29 Beginner's Rehandling Project - not perfect by any means but it was a great learning experience.

Looks awfully good to me, lotsa depth in those scales.

That looks pretty amazing, Darren! Wouldn't have said you were just learning! Nice job. I need to try my hand at that sometime, just haven't done it yet.

Thank you sir

Thank you sir I kept telling myself the same thing and then finally pulled the trigger. If you ever want to give it a go let me know and I can pass on my lesson's learned (quite a few of them)

That is one nice job there matey- I actually wish I could do that- seeing your whole process and mistakes and how you recovered from them would be extremely interesting reading in this Thread my friend! Great Job!

Thanks Duncan great idea. I didn't take any in-process photos this time but definitely will for the next project

Looks mighty good to me.
Did you reprofile the screwdriver blade or get the sheepsfoot from a donor knife?
Either way, a useful blade combination.

Thanks! That is how it came. I'm not too savvy on the history of the TL-29 but wondering if there were different configurations instead of electrician's version?

Looks heck of a lot better than my first....second, third and fourth recovers. Nice job

 

[Ernie1980]

Great start! My first several attempts were quite sad, you jumped right in and did awesome!!

Looks pretty darn good for your first one.

I found out from @Terdl76 that it was a mod he started before giving me the knife

Looks great! What books/videos/forum posts did you use to learn how to do the recover?

Actually just a few YouTube videos to help learn how to peen and a lot of patience from some folks that answered my questions. @Terdl76 provided me with a lot of help. The rest I am just figuring out on my own.

Thank you! It looks great. I hope you take some WIP photos next time!

Looks great! What are the handles made from? waverave

 

[Pinemoon]

That came out beautifully
Great job
I have done one recover project on a traditional and plan on doing others on a few moderns I have.
For me it was getting the right equipment-- like a dremel, sanders and buffers, etc.

It sure opens up possibilities

Great job Darren.
