Luke Smart · Jan 9, 2005

Hey Sam, that hammer-in took years off my learning curve. By the way, real nice to have met you and the others that were there in person. (Still don't have the courage to try one of Bruces pistols)

Bill, yep still using that nc forge I bought from ya. I love the thing. Right now, I'm in the process of building a forging press at my work.

Working for a company that specializes in hydraulics has its privilages

It worked! You did a nice job on this one.... Did you do a threw tang?

Luke Smart · Jan 10, 2005

Raymond, no it's not a through tang. The tang extends about 1 1/2 inches into the antler. I decided not to do the through tang because of the tight bend of the antler.
