hey y'all I don't know if there's anybody here or not okay I do see
somebody I don't know how well is it I'm in my shop and I don't know how well I'm
picking up my Wi-Fi out here and I'm not gonna be on this side of the screen so I
won't be able to see comments so I'm just gonna do a little sanding that's
all I'm working on a knife handle this is the this is the swamp diva that I'm
making for Baker mom and I'm using a wireless earphone kind of stereo thing
well Bluetooth that's what it is so I don't even know if what I'm saying is
excuse me got sawdust in my throat ten I don't even know if what I'm saying is
being picked up so I'm just gonna go about doing sanding this knife handle
like I usually would I'll tell you what I've done is I've shaped it on my belt
grinder not this one but that one right there okay you hear me just fine thank
you appreciate it uh and I did the basic shape on that and now what I'm gonna do
is hand sand this I've got it hand sanded down to uh 220 so from here I go
to 320 and then 400 and then 600 and then I start putting the finish on it so
I'm going to go around the other side of the screen there and do that so thanks
for being here by the way
this is a 320-grit here
supposed to be gone this weekend to help a friend over in Texas but she called
and said she wasn't feeling very good so I decided to get a start on Baker moms
night handle this is the swamp b-but I think I already mentioned that and what
I'm doing now is just standing up the scratches from the previous sandpaper
which was 220 and that's basically what you do I started with 120 sanding it
down sanding all the rough edges off because
you can only get it so good on the belt sander and then I went from 120 to 150
and with 150 what you're doing is a little bit of additional shaping but
you're sanding out the scratches at the 120 left then you move up to 220 and
still doing a little bit of shaping but mainly saving out the scratches that the
150 left and now it's perfectly shaped I don't need to shape it any more so now
I'm using 320 grit to sand out the scratches at the 220 left and from here
I'll go to 400 and then 600 and then I start putting this on and it's a lot the
second or third coat it just comes alive it's just beautiful that's the best
stuff I've found to use for knife handles yet and gunstocks that's really
what it's for is gun stock refinishing which is how I originally came across it
because I used to do that I would buy beat-up abused abandoned and homeless
guns and refinish them and take them to the gun show and man I made organs and
tons of money doing that but it got a little scary because there's this gray
area the ATF they say that you had to have a Federal Firearms License if you
profit from selling so there's really is no gray area it's
just that they choose not to most of the time prosecute people because there's a
lot of people that buy and sell guns you know it's hard to tell who's doing it
