Thanks Again PhilL

Phil,

Thanks again for the tutorial. I've been designing knives with it every since. I have soooo many ideas I want to try out and so little time. With your idea I can move or remove rivets or change curves, or any number of changes and see the effects long before making one.

I've done a number of them this way and built them using 'weldable' steel from the hardware store. I wouldn't think of building a knife without first seeing what it looks like.

These are the templates I'm using for my very first hunting knives (a matched pair of hunters - his and hers).

I didn't take the time to add all the shading and backgrounds, because I can print these off and make templates. I can't draw worth beans, but I can drag a curve anywhere I want.

Thanks again,

Steve

I'll second the Thanx to PhilL
I have a good idea of how much work went into that tutorial, and he did an excellent job of it.

itrade, those will be some fine hunters!
Now show us the Bowies

Wow Steve, your designs are looking great, and if you were the only guy that got something out of those lessons they were worth doing.
