Yes to both. You can see what it looks like on the outside, but until you start sanding away, it's a little hard to see what's underneathMeridian_Mike wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2019 6:20 pm Interior Rams Horn..... AMAZING STUFF....
I guess you just have to take that stuff as it comes??
OR can you see what you are getting before you buy it?

Some eye popping knives showing up here ..... another couple I've done a re-worked Boker TL29 and a Camillus refurbished with natural micarta.

PS I've now created a problem ... having found the photo of the Boker ... I'm actually not sure where the actual knife is

Re: TL-29 mods thread... Let's put 'em here
Glen, each of those are simply amazing!
But as Dale said, the last one is a true stand-out!
How did you engineer the bolster ??

I just made it out of NS bar stock, then ground it to shape.
Thanks!

Re: TL-29 mods thread... Let's put 'em here
That stag is just plain GNARLY man!! BEAUTIFUL work! WOW.... I'm with Dale.... the rear bolsters on these TL-29s sure makes them into REAL eye catchers! Your work sends the TL-29 into a totally different category!
Amazing work Glenn!

NO... say it isn't so..... You ain't no hog and I am just plain LOVING your work!
Some of the material you used on the scales is just plain eye popping!
What is the white material in the bottom photo?
That stuff is gorgeous!
Maybe you need to go to your shop and make a couple more to show off Glenn.
GOOD SHOW!!

Re: TL-29 mods thread... Let's put 'em here
I keep thinking that it can't get any better and then you dump those on us Glenn. That red one at the start of the parade is awesome! Then the burley ones and the gnarly one and...….I can't find a loser in that group. Wow, just Wow!!!!

Mike, that material isn't white, I just take bad pictures, LOL. It's actually a pink pearl acrylic. I can't recall who I made the knife for, but it was for his wife I believe, so she had something to use while gardening.

Re: TL-29 mods thread... Let's put 'em here
LOL... sorry.... I am probably in the category of people who can't tell one color from the next.
Man... that is some beautiful stuff. I know your wife is happy to have one of your nice creations.

Re: TL-29 mods thread... Let's put 'em here
LOL, my wife couldn't care less about my hobby. She sees it as a time waster (taking time from her or the honey-do list), but I imagine she knows I enjoy it, so she let's me play without too much grief.

Re: TL-29 mods thread... Let's put 'em here
LOL.. sorta sounds like my wife....
NOW... if I MADE MONEY off knife mechanic-ing then she would send me to the shop quicker 'n you could bat an eye.
Yep, working on knives keeps us off the streets and outa the bars....right?

Re: TL-29 mods thread... Let's put 'em here
LOL!
After a few years of retirement Ive learned to balance my knife mechanic time with some home chores and a few things off the honey-do list on a regular basis. My wife knows I need to keep my mind occupied so she kinda goes with the flow when it comes to me and my hobbies.

Yeah, I don't golf or go bar-hopping with the boys, so she tolerates my mistress in the basement...
Re: TL-29 mods thread... Let's put 'em here
Still debating whether it needs a shield/badge or not. Klein tools electrician knife, screwdriver removed, hand made nickel silver bolsters and pins installed, stainless steel pivot pin (trying something new), and smooth red bone handles. There’s a slight shade difference in the red handles but they’re close enough.

Re: TL-29 mods thread... Let's put 'em here
MAN.... that is a nice one Jeff!
Great job of adding new bolsters!
Scales look GREAT! (I love RED)
A real work of art!
That is a VERY nice looking knife you have created!
