tools you can make to help you.

[Dan Gray]

I set up a page from the knife making site for just tools to make,

under Knife Making Tutorials.
at http://www.knivesby.com/tools.html
if anyone has links to simple tools for the knife maker to
make, I'll try to get them on there.
Thanks.

[Dan Gray]

Wow Dan, I'm still trying to figure out how to drill a small hole on a big flat surface...aint got the skill to drill the end of a little rod yet! Nice job!

 

[Dan Gray]

Thanks John but I have no idea what you are talking about
use a center drill to start your holes and you'll do great..
they won't bend and walk on contact.

I assume he is talking about Bruce's leather gouge tutorial. Drilling the small holes.

AT THE RISK OF LOOKING FOOLISH, HOW IS THIS GOUGE USED?
