Cypress handle sod #5

Post by Joe Dirt »

This is my fifth re-handle job since last November. All 5 have been Case Sod Buster Jr's. They seemed to be a good platform to start out on.

First off, I would like to thank you guys for all the tutorials, tricks, do's and don'ts, and general information on materials and tools. Without you, this would have never been possible. ::tu::

This one has a worm hole in the scales. I intended to use them for a knife I could put in MY pocket and carry. Well, that didn't happen, as a friend saw the worm holes and wanted me to make HIM a knife with them on it! I finished it last Tuesday and he came and got it on Wednesday.

Oh well, guess I'll have to start another one and NOT tell or show anyone!

I need a little coaching on making the characteristic sod buster pins.

Here it is: all criticism is welcome. Let me know what you really think!
(I'm hooked)

........ Joe

Looks GREAT Joe! Are you the one bidding against me on Sodbusters?! Just Kidding. I've been stocking up on a few lately as well, for when overtime slows down.

Nice job Joe! ::tu:: ::tu::

I think I have mentioned a few times that repairing and customizing knives is FAR MORE ADDICTIVE than just collecting knives. :mrgreen:

Hay Caddy, I've been getting the knives at Lowe's for under $20... $20.29 including tax, to be exact!!
Bought out there shelf stock a couple of times ::nod::

Dale, how do I make the hinge pins?

Your right! Now I'm in it for life ::paranoid:: :lol:
