Custom Knife Making Bowie handle shaping with Nick Wheeler part 3

[@SwitchbackXThunter]

At 9:33 mark huge black bear walks through shop, directly behind Nick. 😂

A little petroleum jelly can help a lot with that as well. And of course when you wash,, same stokes down.down,. If you try to wash back and forth you'll just push the glass deeper into pours. Dude you got an awesome style and skill. Truly a joy to watch! Thank you,for the honor of viewing. Thanks!

You do awesome work. Those blades are great looking and the videos are a wealth of knowledge.

As usual, Nick has a GREAT video series on the Bowie handles. The tricks Nick shares can be used on most any handle. Nick is a real asset to the knife making groups, not only has videos, but also his time spent sharing on knife forums. Thanks Nick Ken H>

[@ethanwarner1963]

What did you use for the pin ?

[@MrNicovdw]

what grit do you use for shaping ?

[@CedarloreForge]

Fantastic video and even better work man. Thanks for sharing!

[@kenevans1443]

I love your videos. So informative. Thanks.

[@k9cop998]

Where can I buy a knife from you????????

[@digsfossils]

Great series Nick. Thanks!

Nick - I have been specializing in Chinese swords, but I still love the vids. I make a camp knife or a fighter every now and then, and this information is priceless. Rock on. Oh, is that a Corby fastener acting as a pin? Novel idea. You should come to the Ashokan gathering in the Fall. This year is the sword year, and a LOT of amazing talent will crawl out of the woodwork for it. You will love it, if you come.

Thanks Nick, this makes 3 of your Videos tonight.

[@NickWheeler33]

MrTeeball Thanks buddy, I'm glad you have been following along and enjoying them. While the design is a little different, the same steps went into your knife. Thank you for your continued support my friend! :)

[@pinz2022]

Nick Wheeler Oh, good. You ARE wearing protection while grinding.

[@Pasdechevredreamer]

Ever tried old bicycle tubes for protecting the blade?

[@Nonamenomad14]

what cartridges do you use?

[@Mullicamanufactory]

Awesome videos Nick. What grit belts are you using?

[@NickWheeler33]

Harry Mullica Thanks Harry. :) If I have a LOT of handle material to hog off I usually go to a 36X. However, the G10 abrades away pretty nicely with the 50X or 60X ceramic 3M hoggers.. and that's what I was using in the video.

[@Mephysto65]

Great job, great skill and a great dog ( new foundland I think). By the way I noticed two tubes behind flat platten of your grinder: is it a water cooling system or what?

[@2k10ms3]

Mephysto65 water cooled platen

[@johnmutton799]

YOU COULD DO WITH A DUST EXTRACTOR SET UP NEXT TO THE SANDER HAVE THE INTAKE RIGHT NEXT TO THE SANDING PLATE. THANKS FOR THE INFO. NICE WORK MATE. I WANT ONE OF YOU KNIVES.
