[QUOTE="Bill Coye, post: 1031716, member: 10719"] Thanks! I'm not sure about the talent part, but it certainly is a process. Okay, epoxy's dry... I'll drill 1/8" pilot holes through where the corby bolts will eventually be, using the tang as a template. Because the tang is tapered, I have to use a fixture to ensure that the blade is held horizontal so verticle holes are drilled through the micarta. Randy doesn't want a lanyard tube so no need to drill that out. [b][Broken External Image][/b] Looks as if I need to slow that mill/drill down a little. I'd never smoked micarta before today.... ....it's a little harsh but nothin' like that crap from the late '70s ;) Seriously, a good quality respirator is a needed when making dust of any kind. [b][Broken External Image][/b] Epoxy the other scale on and make sure it's squared up. [b][Broken External Image][/b] [b][Broken External Image][/b] Clamp again and wait.......... BC [/QUOTE]
