I have a huge amount of iron wood, assuming you mean ipe. I made a fence and some Adirondack chairs Tough to work with. I sold all my woodworking tools. I don’t think I could split it with a chop saw, maybe. It’s all a little over an 1” thick
I use to make stabilized wood mods[vaping] and the process is prety cool using alumilte clear and puting it into a mold and then a pressure tank for 2 hrs to remove any bubles, I also had added alumilite powders to add into the part b of the alumilte, you gave me the idea to start making them now for knife handles. thank you.!.
What kind of liner do you use? I am new to knife restoration and so far I've only made solid scales. I want to try this. I have some cool pieces to try and put together.
Excellent tutorial Dan. My only suggestion is to provide links to where you purchased the iron wood and acrylic pen blanks if they were purchased online. Thanks for the ideas.
Will do next time. I had the wood scales sitting around the shop. Acrylic also. I usually just search online and buy whatever colors catch my eye. Next time will keep track of where I got it from
@@DIYeasycrafts The Woodcrafters down in San Antonio hasa selection of wood and acrylic pen blanks, but nothing caught my eye quite like the one you used. Very nice.
I kind of do it the slow way but for me it works and I get good alignment from side to side. I glue up one side. The drill holes using holes in blank as the drill guide. Then I glue up second side. once that is dry I drill through all three pcs. Bottom line I spend a lot of time waiting for glue to dry Buy total time actually working to attach and shape might be about an hour
Already did. The fastners are available in a variety of places I get them from McMaster Carr. Here is a link to video ruclips.net/video/HB1a3NiVBB4/видео.html
Beautiful work. I love that knife handle...the whole knife really. All beautiful and curvy,,, a little crazy,,,, like my ideal woman. I think I'd give that knife a beautiful woman's name.

And I've been fighting 5 minute epoxy this whole time! Thanks for the tip!
But remember to use epoxy to adhere the segmented assembly to the liner.
Havent watched yet but this comment made me want to pay attention 🤣

What are you using for the black spacer/liners? Sorry if I missed that
I buy spacer material from USA knifemaker
Excellent video. Question: I know it depends on the knife and the scales but in general how long does it take to attach and shape a set of scales?
I kind of do it the slow way but for me it works and I get good alignment from side to side. I glue up one side. The drill holes using holes in blank as the drill guide.

Great video...concise, to the point and helpful
Glad you enjoyed it!

Can you do a video on how to successfully use those handle fasteners? Also where can I find them? Thank you. Love your channel!
Already did. The fastners are available in a variety of places I get them from McMaster Carr. Here is a link to video ruclips.net/video/HB1a3NiVBB4/видео.html
DIYeasycrafts sorry to bother but what are they called? Not sure what to order. Thx
DIYeasycrafts oops. My bad. I see them in the video. Thx!

Were the black liners just thin acrylic too?

Good
where did you buy the glue that you used?
I got it on amazon. Just search CA glue if they have a choice get the Thin or Med
Nice tutorial
