In a continuing effort to get knife building information out to the guys who desire that sort of thing, Tony and I have put together another construction series. This series of images and text focuses on building the TBose slip joint bushing pivot. Enjoy :) http://boseknives.com/pvtbushing/
 
Quick question are their other construction series on site if so where a list of links or somethign for them?
 
Heck, like we alll didn't know all that already anyway! :rolleyes:

Thanks, Kerry! That was wonderful. Tell Mr. Bose he is extremely gracious to share with us like that, and extend our gratitude. :thumbup: :thumbup:

You deserve kudos, too, for all the fotography, processing, and website work. Thanks!

awwwwshucks :o

It's too dang fun to think about all that stuff but thanks for the kudos. It does take a little time but I am learning alot.
 
Kerry: Another great lesson. A question please. In picture 16 you say to center punch the bushing in four places...I guess this displaces the bronze just enought to lock into place. But when you scotchbrite the perimeter...doesn't it negate the previous displacment? Hmmm... Also..when you lock the liner/bolster assembly to the bushing with the copper rod.. uh..is this then locking to the four center punched holes? Many thanks. This crap of figuring it out on my own was getting old!!
 
John L....I tried to use the quote thingy but it was having some difficulty. The punch is used to make divots on the SIDES(flats) of the bushing. When you do this, it slightly displaces some of the material to the outer edge of the bushings. The scotchbrite wheel is used to clean up the outer edges (round) of the bushing. Does that make sense? There really isnt much to clean up as there isn't much of the bushing that is displaced. Don't scotchbrite the sides because, youre right, that would defeat the purpose of doing that.

You use a copper TUBEplaced over the pivot pin when you stake the assembly together prior to peening the the bolster pin.

if that doesn't make sense, just give me a shout.
 
Cool Kerry, its really special to get a look into Tonys methods. BTW I have the same surface grinder and magnetic chuck. :)

:D Me too and the only problem is keeping the meat attached to the "chuck".

You guys need to get yourselves a slow moving horizontal disc sander like I had. :D That thing sanded things super flat. I made mine with a geared motor I got off ebay.
