Thread: What are you working on?

Well most of the knots I have, there is a small bulge just above the epoxy, which makes the epoxy narrower than the bulge, but I would gues as you took the bulge down it would extend to some degree into the epoxy plug. I have not adventured down that road before, I just ordered more knots.

Outback, looks like you've got a bit of challenge. I look forward to seeing how you deal with it.

Rezdog, really nice carving. Those look incredible.

I had a bit of a setback with my Wosty. Apparently, I didn't cut a deep enough chamfer in one of my pivot collars. After sanding the pin flush, it worked it's way loose while I was working on the bevel. No drama and it should be simple to correct.

Jelly-Sorry, it's been a hell of a couple of days at work, but the recon stone is not difficult at all to work with. In fact, it works (and smells) almost exactly like an acrylic when being cut, shaped, sanded or polished. Near as I can tell, it's turquoise dust in some kind of acrylic or plastic. Much easier to work with than actual stone (which I have also done with malachite, but it's very fragile and the fumes are seriously dangerous).

I usually take a dremel drum and run it around the inside of the handle until it fits.......

Not a problem, It's not like I'm in a hurry to find another rabbit hole But I may look into it for a future project.

I turned the base down on a knot, to fit a small cup. Worked just fine.

That recon handle looks familiar?
I suppose why not until you hit the hairs?

Maybe a bit of both?

Hairs come away with the base as ground. If their close, I grind out the handle. I needed a small diameter knot, this was the easiest way I seen to do it..

Thanks for pointing out it that making a small knot smaller can be done. I have a couple that could use a new knot but could never find one small enough. Now there is another project someday.

I was working in a workshop making another razor.

Pretty good!

Only takes you 19 minutes to make a razor?
