Autopoint mod

Post by glennbad »

Hey, it's good to be back among the living. I've been pretty sick for the past 4 weeks, so I haven't been able to do much more than sit around and feel miserable. I'm finally starting to feel better.

Here's one i had finished a little while back. It started out as this Autopoint advertising knife.

I decided to mod it into a mini-barlow. I made some new bolsters for it, and put some nice stag on it. I really like how it turned out.

Sweet. Did you make new liners too, or just remove a bolster and add your own?

Same liners, just new bolsters.

Thanks everyone. It was a shame to see this leave.

Thanks guys. Funny, reading that, I said I was feeling better then, LOL. A month later, after that turned into pneumonia, I am starting to feel better NOW. Just had my first visit into my shop in 2 months over the weekend and did a little work. Hoping to ramp up production now that I am on the mend.

I understand that Glenn!
I'm just cleaning out the in-box of my email so I can get out to the shop, though I was able to get a little time in the shop a week ago.
Stay well my friend!
