Lol, yep... I will say... I do like those pliers for doing that. They don't apply as much force as I could with a hammer, so if the holes are slightly undersized, I don't have a tendency to "force it" and split the block. They're also handy to have close by so I can pull the pins out. Cheers sir!

I enjoy seeing the prosses and craftmanship that you put into your knives. I also like seeing that you use your bandsaw to remove the bulk of the material and not turning everything into dust that could be breathed in. It's good to see you using your PPE. I am recovering from lung surgery that I had last month, so this is something that is very much on my mind. Keep up the good work, stay safe, and stay awesome.

Jeeeesus! I hope you realize that you have gone slightly insane. Are you making Swiss watches or knifes! Can you ever recoup the cost? After all the hours designing, fabricating and testing, and with the capital investment in your equipment, there is not way you are making any money. This must be some sort of hobby or obsession. The final product is an object of art but also the shooting of video and the editing is a huge work. This must be one of the best product and the best video I have seen in a long while.
