1st try at Making Micarta Scales

[Skinner]

We Since I Got Me Some Steel Stock I Thought I Would Try My Had At Making Micarta Scales for Some Knives.,Still Need to Invest In a Belt Sander a Hand-Held Disk Sander is Way to Big can't get into corners and Small Areas So Them Main Clean Up of the Blades is Still being a Issue for Me .I Used A old pair of Blue Jeans and a Old Red Work Shirt for the Micarta.I Decided to Make 5 Bushcraft Blanks and Was working on a Small Blade When I Decide to Make these.Did Some Reading and Watched and Rewatched Crash's Tut's On Youtube for Guideance.So Thankyou All In Advanced for All your Information you all have Posted.

Good on you man, I haven't tried it yet, i'm skeered..

Nice work skinner!

Well done. The belt sander makes it quicker (I use the 1X30 from Harbor Freight) but you can use files and hand sand with thin strips of sand paper to achieve the same result.

No, no, no. That is a Round "Tuit". What I need is a "Roundtuit"( I believe it is made by Bondo,comes in a can and has an additive to harden it.)

I haven't gotten the resin yet....LOL

P.S.Crash I was trying to get him back for you...remember when he said you needed a "roundtuit" but it required 2 hands?

I have every little jab that he has made tucked away for further review.
