okay this is my bevel grinding jig this is my knife grinding jig and it's okay
but now that I've got that plastic table I'm gonna end up scarring it up with
this so I've been racking my brain trying to come up with what I can make
out of the remainder of that cutting board and I think I got it I've got this
cut out and what I'm gonna do is use hinges so these will you know tilt
forward and backwards this will you know be here and it will tilt forward and
backwards I got to run some kind of bolt from here to here that you can adjust to
adjust angle and I haven't figured that out yet and I can't put nothing together
until I do get this built in my head because I'm gonna have to do the same
thing with this that I did with the other and that screw up through this and
then sandwich this together and you know to cover the screw screws so I don't
have anything on the bottom of this just plastic and that will really slide nice
on that so I'm still trying to Rack my brain I can go ahead and get these holes
drilled for the hinges and I'm going to use these bolts here and you know I want
to put them through the front side here but I'm gonna drill in such a fashion
where they'll be flush and then I'll cut them off even with the nuts so I can get
that much done and I'm gonna be thinking about how to how to build an adjustment
a locking adjustment already I just thought I'd show you
what I what I'm working on here well it's that's all I can do until I figure
out how I'm gonna make the adjustment let me show you how flush I got these I
drilled a eighth inch hold and then I countersunk it a little bit with a
quarter inch drill bit
I can run this up against the sander to smooth it out and I will do that that's
a good start now I'm gonna be thinking on how I'm going to adjust this I'm
thinking I've had to put a couple of angle brackets here and then a rod a rod
coming out to something here and then one of them it's a bolt that if you turn
it one way it pulls the threaded rod in and if you turn another way that pushes
the threaded rod out and I have one somewhere but that would be the easiest
thing to do yep I'm gonna be thinking along that
route I think okay we'll be back okay
now I'm as far as I can get without figuring out how I'm gonna make this
thing adjust I wanted at an angle because if I have something sticking up
off of here it will be flexible so the shorter it is the less flex that will
have in it I'm thinking give me a minute I'm gonna go look at my I'm gonna pull
up my magical toy box down here and see what kind of junk I got in there
see if I make something work oh that would get in there I found a few bits of
odds and ends here's here's how I I gotta cut this off about here I have not
figured out how I'm gonna attach it to here yet but here's the basic premise
that'll go in there and you will adjust this up and down by using that and the
wingnut will lock it in place now I got to figure out how to attach it to here
and I'm thinking I'm gonna heat the end of this up red-hot flatten it out drill
a hole sideways through it and then put it you know mount these to this and then
put a pin through the area that I flat flattened I got a think on it some more
and it's too late for coffee so think of times just about past cuz Lord it is so
humid out here my god it's not hot but my god the humidity just about drive me
indoors and uh I'm gonna figure this out before I go in now I will get somewhere
I hammered that out hammered a flat space on it now I'm gonna drill a hole
through it I'm going to cut these off right here and I'm going to drill a hole
further back about in the middle of what I'll have left both of these mount them
both to here put a bolt through them and this and voila I do believe we're gonna
wind up and here we go we will be uptown and then screw this on
at the bottom far out
alright it is the next morning seven o'clock and I expected to be in Texas
and I'm not going to Texas until probably Wednesday so I'll be able get
this knife finished in in the house with several coats of poly of not poly true
oil on it before I need to go so I'm gonna finish this up this morning it's
coming along I've got my little angled brackets worked out here and that's how
that's gonna work on my drill hole through this and and but first I have
some important business to take care of bomb tick kawatte one boy that's a sexy
thing a sexy thing here's how it works
or
so let me give you the look here
now I need to mount that to that I do have a couple of nuts someone I had to
accommodate these screws are are countersunk
they're all up inside the plastic I will have to accommodate these by popping a
couple of short shallow holes there that's not a problem then I'm going to
drill screw epoxy and we'll be ready to make some knives with that new jig all
right on to Sandy's knife I've got to
shape the handle today and that's next as soon as I cleaned up a little bit
from this project there we go
I can't wait to try it out I got my first knife blank right there I may try
this tomorrow
yep
these are countersunk I think that's gonna work of course I made a couple of
handles all right thanks for watching y'all this was a nice little project and
what I do is bolt the knife onto this face of this here and then put a clamp
back here just to keep it you know from doing this
I've tightened this up pretty tight and end up with a clamp here and then when I
ready to do the other side I put the bolt through this one and I clamp it
back here
