How about some shop pics??
Morgan took this shot Monday morning. I was flattening the components that make up the bolstered scales. Karl does the layered scales, but the bolsters are a pita, so thats all me.
This is a view down the length of the shop showing the drillpresses in the foreground, and the grinder bench out towards the door.
I brought the old woodworking bench home, and replaced it with a large steel workbench. This thing is massive. Its a 4 x 8 x 1/2" thick top with steel legs, etc. Its not perfectly flat, but it serves for what we do. And it doesn't move when folks sand knives at it. The best part is that it only cost $250. One man's trash is another mans treasure.
In this view down the tabletop and out the shop you can see why we needed a steel table. Handle stackups glueing up. Couldn't do this on a wooden table without tearing it to hell.
These are the parts for the bolstered burlap scales all ready for glueup.
This is the bolster to be. You can see the 12 degree angle where it intersects with the scales.
This one is a shot of the bloodred burlap scales with a supplimentary angle machined into them.
This is how it fits up.
All glued up.
Karl glueing up handle stackups.
This is Morgan doing profiles.
Finally, a pic of the front door.
