these are the knives that are going to Australia and man I got to tell you I
really liked that wood that's got to be some pretty good what I wanted to tell
you about is a friend of mine Duane L know Duane he's told me that you can
fill cracks in with superglue and this wood it didn't have any visible cracks
and I cut the handle out and got it pinned in epoxy and started sanding on
it well as I sanded a crack started to appear and I have build it I think if
you look real close you can see that dark line that is where the crack was
and I build it with super glue and by god it's gonna work and you can hardly
tell it's there when I know this is the third filling I guess you'd say what
I've been doing is filling it up letting it dry sanding it filling it up letting
it dry sanding it and this would be the last time it'll be a nice smooth finish
after this but so there's definitely a way to fill a crack and he told me he
does it all the time with super glue and it seems to be working and I probably I
would just if this was my wood I would just cut it off and start fresh with a
new piece of wood but he sent me this wood and this wood is not you can't find
I guess you could find it somewhere here but it's a wood that's native to
Australia so if you're really difficult to find here so if this is gonna look
just fine all right I'm gonna let this dry I got a little mowing to do and then
I'll get back out here and finish sanding this and that
see you can hardly talk was there actually anyone you think you can see it
was there if you look really close you can see it let me point to it right in
front of my thumbnail I know my thumb that was dirty but I saw my hands right
here that little line but I think when I get it sanded right now I'm at 150 I'm
fixing a bump up to 180 and I think once I get into the finer grits and then get
some true oil in it you won't even know it was there pretty
cool thanks Duane that's a good idea all right I just thought I'd give you
peek at this before I get to the true I'll put the true oil look how dirty
that wood is is that that I've never sanded anything that stained my hands
like this amazing huh I'm to the point or I can put the true oil on them I love
that wood that is some awesome wood
beautiful all right I'll fix you take these in and
start the first coat of troll while I make it two coats on tonight nice would
rend Giggy
alright here's a final look at that ring the geechie that is some spectacular
wood
very interesting wood and I'm making a neck knife and a striker is going with
it first my Ferro rod this is going in tight X and I'm trying to figure out how
to make this into a neck knife I don't think it'll be too too big for a neck
knife I'm not sure how I'm going to do that but anyway this will be for sale
soon I'm not gonna ask a whole lot for it because it's not my best work
I still got a couple coats of tree oil to put on that but gotta make the sheets
put the edge on these and ship them those are the ones that are going to
Australia and I have no orders after that which is kind of a good thing
because I've got like four knives that I want to make the breast cancer awareness
knife breast cancer research finish this swamp devil and there's one other knife
but I want to make and I'm thinking about giving swamp devil away for forty
thousand subscriber appreciation giveaway let's see what am I at
okay that's what I'm at and I don't get
subscribers near as fast as I used to probably I used to get 35 sometimes 40
subscribers a day and sometimes now I just get 8 or 9 sometimes two or three
so 40,000 subscribers is still a ways away but I am going to give something
away and it'll be a knife I'm thinking it'll be swamp devil and as I make that
all I'll let you see the progress all right I'm on this video this is just a
whole bunch of clips put together just little things I shout out over the last
