Chet Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Do you have to put any kind of an edge on the blade with those kits?

Use a lot of blue tape to tape up the blade while working the handle.. They are sharp! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The knife is done and will be shipped tomorrow I did one of Marc's headphone holders for my son - I also made the template so that I can make more And, all the base parts are milled up for the 2 base cabinets for the desk.. Joinery tomorrow - And, the additional lumber that I was short is ordered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanded with 400 between coats and final rubbed with a paper bag. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I like the paper bag affect. They are hard to come by these days so I save one every once in a while. A little goes a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
