Things I learned today bulding a knife......

[Toejammer]

1) Hafting means flat - especially on the liner side.
2) No matter how bad you booger up the bolsters, you can file / sand it out
3) You'll find final assembly much easier if you do NOT peen the center pin on when assembling the scales / liners.
4) Just when you think your peening sux, you'll spend an hour undoing what you did in step #3.
5) A nickel, and a bench vise make for a fine spring compressor.

This is what I learned today, stay tuned for tomorrows episode..........

I'am learning every day Mike.

Mostly what not to do!!!!

If I took pic's of all my mistakes, I'd fill up this forum with threads.

I pulled a Schrade 34OT down to repin, what a learning curve.



cheers Gary.
