I clocked out early at work today & stayed & worked on my LRK.
I glued up the scales & liners,got the pins sanded down to where they fit right & rough sanded the handle & the mating surfaces of the scales/liners,on the 36 grit belt.
I also streamlined the blade a bit by grinding down the top hump on the drop point.
I'll go back tomorrow & drill pin holes,shape the front of the scales,then glue 'em on.
I probably won't be able to finish it till next friday though dang it.
Luckly we have belt sanders,drill presses & a lathe at work & I can use them on my time off.Pretty cool.
Pics when it's done.....
