    Ill bring some of that quick glo out next trip it seems to a gentle but strong polish we could try it on the blade you gave us they have close to the same patina

    Tonight I tried tooth paste nope. Baking soda paste nope. Glasstop stove cleaner worked the best so far. Yeah bring it with you it did a nice job on yours.

    Got the pins made and finally drilled the scales.
    Lesson to be learned- buy a freaking drill press!!
    Yeah I won't go into details about that

    SOCOM and Robies idea kept me from a blowout. Nice ! No chipping that part worked good.

    Had to do some work on the pins they were real tight and would have screwed me at epoxy time.






    One of the big issues I had was on the tang there was a big high spot and the scale on one side wouldn't sit flat so that took a while removing some material from the tang. The high spot is probably why the old scale broke in the first place.

    So part of being a wood guy is being able to hide your mistakes right? Ugg! I'm starting to remember why I suck at wood work. It probably would help if I had the proper tools for wood working eh!

    Been a busy week so I finally got to the glue up. I used a 5 minute epoxy which wasn't a great idea because I really had to hustle to get all the pieces coated, put in place and clamped. As a result epoxy was flying everywhere as you can see As I wiped the chaos off it pretty much coated the scales and everything else.

    Removed the clamps today and then will move on to the next steps of sanding some shape into the scales.

    Looks good Hawg. Can't wait to see the final product. I don't know that I would stain the handle at all.

    Initial clean up cut the pins and hit the belt sander I'm liking what I'm seeing.

    VERY Nice!!!

    If you have a router, maybe do an initial cut with a 1/4" roundover bit on the top, bottom and end. That will leave you with enough meat to support your tool when you start doing the hand work. (Just an idea.)
