What kind of folders are you wanting to make, liner lock, lock back or slip joints?

 

[Ken Hurst]

JSMITH ---- reckon I'd like to make a lock back first. As I'm an engraver, I'm use to working in minute detail. I think this first project will take quite a while and tight fitting parts will try my patience but is necessary if the job is to be done right ------- engraving has taught me patience. Any suggestions you might care to offer would be much appreciated. Ken
