Members Toolingaround Posted March 2, 2012 Members Report Posted March 2, 2012 I really like your maul!!! I struggle making and and altering stamps and making simple tools out of screw drivers and nails. I use a junior hacksaw, files and sandpaper. If I had the money for good tools to make tools well would just buy the good leather tools from the pros to start with LOL Nice work, Cheers, Toolingaround Quote
Members JDM Posted May 10, 2012 Author Members Report Posted May 10, 2012 I finally put a handle on this knife. I have some aged apple and pecan chunks to use for barbecuing. Found a chunk of apple that was about right, so I used it. I cut the slabs down to rough thickness using a hand held bow saw, then flattened on a sander. I used JB Weld to glue on the scales, and the brass pins are from the "safety" rods in a Spyderco sharpening set. So, I managed to make this knife using only things I had on hand. I don't have any other round knives to compare this with. It cuts leather a lot nicer than a utility knife. Quote
