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.

Love the knives you make, nice style with an emphasis on usability. So Manu purple make knives for show that would be hard to actually use. Do you blue the spine and such before going to the buffing step? I'm assuming the compound would make it hard and spotty to do afterwards.

You made a comment about the horizontal sander putting lines in the belts because you are only using one narrow part of the belt. I wonder if you could modify your table rest so it moves up and down, or put some layers of plywood on top of it, so you could use different zones across the width of the belt.

Excellent video. Thank you. Believe it or not. I am doing plastic handles… I know I know but I’m committed. Perhaps when I get ready for sales I’ll show you what I’m doing. My plan is to do pretty much everything you’re doing except I’m going to be slowing down the buffer. I end up with a lot of blackening with the buffer and I’ve got a clean it off. What am I doing wrong? I’m guessing too much compound.

Thanks for sharing your skills with us, you're much further along than I am but I refuse to give up. Saw something interesting I wanted to ask you about. It looks like you dip your blades and some coloring agent to make them dark, but when you shape your handles you hit the steel with the belt and knock the black coloring off. I never considered that would be something okay to do, but after seeing you do it I feel better about the blade being dark and the Tang being steel-colored. Thoughts?
