Three more tips that I learned the hard way. Keep a rag with acetone handy and wipe your gloves off periodically. That keeps you from transferring epoxy to places you don't want it. Put some painter's tape on the pads of the bar clamps. That keeps you from epoxying the clamps to the piece if you didn't see some epoxy that you accidentally transferred from your gloves. Use parchment paper instead of wax paper. It's silicone impregnated and resists the epoxy bonding with it better than wax paper.
Man that's a great tip to make the side that goes on the tang, the 'top' side. So even if the spacers slide up a bit, you can just grind it out....as long as you dont glue it all up with the liner at one time... which locks you in to only having one side that goes to the knife. never even occured to me, and I've screwed that up more than once. Really appreciate the content you are putting out!
Nice video What I do before I cut down the main Scale is to stick them together whit one tiny drop of superglue on one side then drill one pin hole, grind them flush and square and then separete them before I glue all the sandwich parts together. That helps a lot for the perfect alignement between the two scales at the end when it comes to drill the second pin hole. Hope you understand my poor English 🙊
hi, very nice video, im an estusiastic opf folding knifes and recently discover the posibility to make micarta to mi handles, but wish to know wich texture supposed to have micarta, i guess some kind of fabric becouse otherwise have no point to replace a g10
Just watched this, and then watched another maker use thin CA to glue the segments together and then use decent epoxy like Gflex to glue the results to a liner. On the surface it would seem that if the segments are epoxied to a liner it would be plenty strong, but I haven't tried it. I assume you have and that's why you do it the way you do. Any thoughts?
Wow !!! What an in-depth explanation of the process!! You’re good man !!! ThankYou !!

Thank you! Need some new ideas for future videos!
@@gentrycustomknives8008 you could share the secret to serrations! 😁

Very good tip! Thank you!
Ever thought about buying a couple of fishing rods? : ) Kidding! Keep the videos coming! Great stuff!
😂😂😂I may have a problem
New subscriber! Killer work and blade
Really appreciate that!!! 😀👊
I push down on the thin spacers with a toothpick...
Sooooo sick!
Thank you!!!!

Micarta definitely has more texture then g10
I know this is old but switch to a Diablo plywood blade they cut straighter and are nice and thin I found with framing blade it seems to cut bit wonky
Appreciate the tip! The cut definitely is wonky with this framing blade!

Honestly I want to do some destructive testing using both options
@@gentrycustomknives8008 please do!!!
Gorilla super glue is good
What type of blade do you use on the chop saw? Number of teeth? Trim blade? All purpose blade?
Just an all purpose blade cuts it fine
