- There are going to be some changes to this RUclips channel.
I will be uploading fewer videos but what I do upload will I hope be videos of a higher quality and content.
I love the sign on wall. "Put them Back!" I'm glad I'm not the only one who struggles to put the bits back where they go.
Attention to detail is the key,your a pro in fine detail.your knifes are second to none and this shows in your films.i never tire of watching you work sandy.thanks for sharing.
I'm always amazed by how much time you put into sharing your knowledge of knife making, it's a real pleasure to watch you at work, but so much more to hear you explain why things are done in a certain way. Many craftsmen want to keep a lid on their skills to have an edge on the competition, but you are clearly happy to share all you know, and I'm willing to guess you've had your fair share of ups and downs as you've progressed in your career. I'm starting my first build, and you are my go to on RUclips, I try to take all your advice on board but obviously adapt it to my limited skill set and equipment, so it's great to reference your earlier posts when you used basic diy machinery. Thanks and much appreciation, Richard.
Beautiful work. I wish I had some wood work skills like yours.
What a great video and a great insight into how the scales are made. In my opinion there is nothing simple about the process, it's real craftsmanship.
Great to see how it all done Sandy. So meticulous. Brilliant work!
Hi Sandy
No matter how often I watch your knife making videos I always learn something new each time. It;s been fascinating to see your processes and techniques improve over the years as your knowledge and skills develop. Keep on going buddy!

I have no choice Noel. I will keep on going for as long as me eye's can see good enough for the job. Will send you an email shortly.
Sandy
Very nice. And from watching the processes you use to make these knives I have no reason to question the price you put on your work. Hope to have a Jacklore knife in my collection at some point. Keep up the great and beautiful craftsmanship Sandy.
The fact through watching Sandys videos, and the quality of his workmanship. ....I'm still amazed at the cost of a Jacklore. .......if you consider other handmade bushcraft knife makers.....A Jacklore is a bargain for the work that goes into it.
Happy New year Sandy

Great tutorial Sandy, looking forward to your future videos, and a Happy New Year to You PEACE :-)
Lovely to watch an artist at work, thank you Sandy!

Happy new year Sandy. Great to see you spreading the health and safety love. ATB. Bill.
Thanks for the vacuum tip Bill:)
Great tutorial Sandy! Also, you inspired me to up my game regarding my scales and I went and got myself a pressure pot! 👍🏼 it works great. I've done palm, cherry and maple varieties so far.
Hi Sandy,
Happy new year! Many thanks for all the great quality videos that you have already uploaded. I'm new to the knife making, but have learned a great deal from your videos. Keep up the good work!
I like the idea of drilling all the extra holes inside the scales. I'll give it a try myself.
It´s very generous by you to share your knowledge with us, thank you!
Very interesting. enjoyed with a cuppa.
Always enjoy seeing what you are working on...Happy New Year to you and yours and may all good things come to you in this new year...Jim.
Your attention to detail is always outstanding! Can you please tell us which type of liner material makes for the most reliable construction? Thanks!

ATB Mack. Got a lot of things happening in 2017. Lifes ups and downs. The wife has to have heart surgery at some point this year so looks like a challenging year ahead!

True craftsmen Sandy love your videos I will meet you this year hopefully at one of the bushcraft shows and one day own my very own jack lore knife !!
"Beast"
Your videos are well made at the moment. I know we all try to improve as we learn more tricks. All the best this year Sandy. A new show called Forged in Fire is on the History channel you might be interested in. Its on tonight at 10. Its a knife making show.
Always enjoy these work'along vids. Happy New Year to you and yours Sandy . I picked up a hint ( think it was on a facebook page/comment, and just read the comments which confirmed it ) that your good Lady may be facing some health issues. I hope not, but if so , I hope things improve and you all travel through a healthy, prosperous , and happy New Year ... Santa was very good to me ... I have now taken permanent ownership. :)
Hi Will,
She has been undergoing tests and has an inherited heart condition that is worsening. Has to go to Oxford for surgery at some point this year. Also our two children (now adults) have to be checked to see if they have any problems.
Glad Santa was kind:)
Sandy
Our regards and best wishes for good outcomes and news in the months to come to all three Sandy. ... and ... You make sure you Take care of yourself as well . Hope to see you somewhere along the way through 2017.
I think all your videos are very good quality already so no worries there. Hope you had a good christmas and best wishes for the new year.

Just bought a drill press clamp, game changer
Nice one Sandy, I see you're loving the new editor :D Hope there's a part 2 for this one :D
Very interesting, Sandy. I'd like to talk to you about having a Jacklore made from wood on my property if you get back to taking orders.
Happy new year to you and your family too
Wonderful to see how you do your tapered tangs Sandy.Very interesting.Proberly the best example that I've seen yet.
Oh......that timber looks very familiar.......
Is that Australian Ringed Gidgee.....?
ATB....Kim..
How did you guess Kim:) Yes it is. Also Wasp and Wisp have been heat treated.
You can tell by the smell Sandy...Very distinctive;)
Excellent info
Clever stuff Sandy :)
it must be satisfying seeing these gradually evolve as you introduce new tweaks,
do you ever balls one up and have to start over ?
I have made loads of mistakes especially in early on, but glad to say not many nowadays:)
Hi there, I love your videos, where did you get your logo stamp made that you use in the press?
Regards Raymond
Nice video Sandy - what happened to your Axminster mask ?
Thanks for sharing and happy new year to you and your family.
ATB Mike
#StayCornish 😬
Hi Mike,
Yeah I still use the axminster especially when on the grinder but sometimes when doing quiet work like hand sanding I prefer the normal masks as they don't make any noise.
Peace and tranquility is a good thing:~)
Wiltshire Man - Yes it can be a noisy environment in the workshop sometimes and if your like me I do like the quiet when possible 👍
I'm in love with your knifes just saying lol
So, one of the things I've been trying to figure out, is how to properly drill the pin holes on a tapered tang. I see you drill them first in the tang while it is still flat, then after they are tapered you lay them on top of an unshaped scale... but this means that the holes in the tang are now slanted at an angle. ...So, you just clamp and drill through again anyway? And it's OK ending up with over sized tang holes? I guess you just make sure they are filled in with epoxy and it's good?
That's what the little spacers superglued to the end of the scales were for. They lift the end up so that the tang is dead straight again, and everything is drilled true.
@@fnordfnordsson4385 Ok, I didn't catch that. I think I get the concept. Thanks!
Hey there young man good to see you doing well , I've a quick question,which is what model bandsaw is the Clark and how do you rate it
Hi Todd,
It's a cheap saw but works ok if you fit good blades. I have had it for 5 years now and still OK.
I do have a question, maybe I missed it. Do you drill the holes in the tang slightly larger than the holes in the scales to accommodate for the angle of the pins relative to the tang?
I came here trying to figure that out, and noticed that too. I can't tell if he starts out using a slightly larger bit for the tang holes, or if he is just drilling through them at the altered created when he lays the tapered tang on the flat scale? Have you figured out how this works yet?
Simple little life has a great video of drilling scales that will go on tapered tangs....in this video though..they turn out ok
There's no angle - the little spacers glued to the scale bring the tang true.
Sandy do you still use the air fed dust mask you reviewed last year. I'm about to buy one and wondered if you still rated it. Ta Ken

Why make a tang tapered?
Wonderful to see how you do your tapered tangs Sandy.Very interesting.Proberly the best example that I've seen yet.

Kim Bullock. I don't know a lot about making knifes, but what is and what's the purpose of a tapered tang.
