That's what is needed - good quality tutorials. Keep it up mate! Very very good!
How are those perpendicular blocks called (I mean the ones you put the knife on to drill holes)?

[howardhazelwood]

excellent video. Thank you. I'm glad you didn't have obnoxious music playing in the background.

[Prolite]

Placing the bits in the holes!!! Brilliant!

It’s 12:15am and I’m finishing my first knife, this video helped me so much. Thanks man!

Good tips. No matter how many year's I've been a knife Smith, I still learn from others tips and idea's. Blacksmithing is a craft that will I & you will always learn and grow no matter how long you've been doing it for. There's so many great learning videos and this platform is a great device to do just that.

I'm 3 knives in now and my last glue up felt very chaotic. I will reference this over and over to shoot for your calm and collected demeanor.

Well thought out presentation. You obviously know what you're doing and how to transfer that knowledge to your audience. One of the most intelligent tutorials on YouTube.

One of the best videos I have ever seen on here

[dougbiagi]

Great "how" to video for beginners....Thank you!

[Headliner]

I watched this video a few weeks ago. Until then I always had trouble with the pins lining up after drilling the scales. Using 1-2-3 blocks with a small clamp is the perfect method for keeping everything lined up. Yesterday I drilled 6 small holes in a small boot-knife handle and every pin was aligned perfectly with the holes I drilled. Perfectly!!! Thank you for making this video and making my knife making so much easier… 🐳

Top shelf tutorial my man, others should be taking notes. Well done

This video was the best tutorial I have ever seen. I am using it to build my first handle!!!

[NRiggiKnives]

Great demo and explanation.
I use, a similar method when doing my fit ups. Couple tricks I use are to put a L or R o the scales in pencil to avoid switching them and I also slightly enlarge the drill hole from the inside of the scales, being careful not to go more than half of the thickness. This seems to help with alignment and ease if putting the pins in.

A lot of smart stuff in this video. Thanks, I'm just starting to build knives and I'm listening to everything I can.

This was so great. I always struggle with the handles. Just a tip about the Corby bolts. Most of the Corby's are metric, so if you get some metric bits it will save having to sand down the outsides to fit the hole.

Definitely one of the best and clearest tutorials on handle construction I've seen. I loved it. Many thanks. I'm putting antler scales on my full tang, which is probably a similar density to your Micarta, and burns easy. So thanks for all the tips. I will be sure to turn my sander down. I loved the angled block too, and the high tech pencil.

[christianrodriguez]

I don’t have any power tools besides a powered drill, but I decided to put new scales on my grandma’s favorite kitchen knife after the original ones fell off. Gotta day, it’s hard seeing my week’s work of hand sanding and hand sawing done in what seems like two days.

Who doesn’t love a helicopter flying situation!!!!?? You take all the fun out of it.
