    As a newbie to knife making, this video is priceless. Thank you so much for breaking down the why and the how.

    An old pipe maker passed on 1n 1950, his widow gave us some of his unfinished pipe bowls and the most valuable thing I ever got. A huge chunk of carnauba wax. He used rouge to polish and then the carnauba to finish. I still have 90 percent of that big bar of wax. Thank you for the other steps. I just ordered a number of woods for knife scales. I have no belt sanders just an orbital, a mouse type on the vibratory tool, and all sorts of round paper cylinders for drills and a Moto Tool. And of course there is always the good old Armstrong method.

    I like the longer videos frankly. You do good work.
  • First, thanks for the description of how you progress from square wood to a finished grip. I wish I had your tool assortment but I'll get by. I've made my own pistol grips for years but this is my first knife and I appreciate your expertise. Also, thanks for the classical guitar background music instead of head banging noise .
