Got this one finished up! Really like how this turned out with the stippling and everything!

That jade looks like sea serpent skin when stippled.

Yeah, I guess it does! I love the look of the jade with green liners!

Um...I hate to tell you, but that workbench is neat and tidy.

Where have I seen that trainer’s design before?

I think you're making one or more of these for W. Andyrsen
This was just a trainer he wanted a handle for he had me do.

 

[David Mary]

Yes. It is about the seventh revision of a design concept that he initially requested and which I’m super excited to make for him as a live blade.

Really neat scales by the way!

Been out of the shop all week but got in today and have been working on some projects. Here's a small blade I'm finishing for W. Andyrsen

 

[Crag the Brewer]

Don't drill in the drill press like that, it's pretty dangerous.
A drill press and a buffer are the most dangerous machines in a machine shop.

Drill long pieces flat on a table, with a clearance hole.
or
Have the part securely mounted in a fixture.

Bare Minimum, have the Long blade on the other side of the column.
If it helicopters, it spins, and hits the column, Not You.
Stay safe

Good advice. I think maybe I moved it after I took the picture. I always try to put it on the other side of the column at least...
They are super dangerous! I know from past experiences

Working on a guard to a bowie knife I'm rehandling.

[SharpBits]

How did the Bowie rehandle work out? Or is it still in progress?

I finished it recently. I guess I forgot to post some pictures.

 

[SharpBits]

Nice. Was the original handle damaged?
