  1. Getting a handle on it. A Foster Bros. 2190 Meat Cleaver

    Had a friend ask me to fabricate a handle for his antique Foster Bros 2190 Meat Cleaver. Since my woodworking has been limited to just re-finishing this spring I was more than ready to try something new. Used Mesquite to make the blank for the scales, Corby-Rivets to attach the scales to the...
  2. Pocket Knife Refurb

    This knife was lying in the parking lot of the local Home depot. It looked like it had been there for a while and had been run over repeatedly. The handles (both sides) were completely missing and the metal was heavily and deeply scratched. Fortunately the blade was only barely damaged along the...
  3. Oak Machete Handle

    I had a machete with a cheap plastic handle that broke after a little use. I decided to make a new handle from some scraps I had. I had gotten some oak edge boards from a sawmill that i was using for fire wood and charcoal making. I cut two rough shapes from the rough sawn oak and then glued...
  4. Spalted Maple Knife handle

    This started as a Christmas gift for my Dad… last year. Then it was going to be a birthday gift, a Father's day gift, an anniversary gift, etc. I just kept putting it off because I wasn't feeling it, and I just didn't have the right piece of wood. Fast forward to about 2 months ago. My buddy's...

    My friend that let's me use his garage has some 'balance' issues and wanted a cane for stability. The shaft is a twisty that I found in TN a couple of years back and I made a handle from quilted maple, which is inlaid with a sea shell slice set in pigmented epoxy. A fellow employee had this...

    "That's not what he said! He distinctly said "to blave." And, as we all know, "to blave" means "to bluff," huh? So you're probably playing cards, and he cheated…"-Miracle Max . Okay, so I had some oak sword handles I was doing for a guy and I needed a way to make them symmetrically round. Too...
  7. Wood & Lumber
    I am looking for a place to get some turning stock for knife handles. Not sure where to ask this, I just joined the forum a while ago and am still pretty new. I have been looking everywhere online and can't find a good place to get the stuff I'm looking for and was wondering if someone could...

    Replacing a kitchen knife handle I decided that it's time to tackle the knife handle I've procrastinated on. We have had a nice kitchen knife for years that really felt good in the hand, held its edge, and sliced very well. However, the handle rotted away and I decided to do my first handle...
  9. Designing Woodworking Projects
    I am thinking about making a bunch of cheese boards and knives for Christmas presents. Does anyone have an idea about mounting the economy cheese knife blade (from Craft Supplies USA) into a turned handle. The tang is flat and only about 1/16" thick and 1 1/2" long, the bolster slides over the...

    Got a Dewalt DW734 (factory refurb with 1 year Dewalt warranty). I got it for well under $300 and it was a local place so…. I GOT A PLANER! hehehehe…. anyways. I still have to build kitchen cabinets, but now I have this dilemma that I need a rolling stand for the planer. :) This was actually...
  12. Designing Woodworking Projects
    I'm making drawers for some cabinets, and the plans I'm using have me using butt joints between the drawer sides and front/back pieces. I want to delete the butt joints and make them dovetails instead, but I can't reason out how the dimensions should change. Currently, the front/back pieces...

    Could this technique make lathe turning of bowls obsolete? ;-))
  14. Finishing
    Hi - first of all…WHOA! I'm blown away by the accumulated knowledge, experience and cordiality here. Thanx for being here. Made a grafting knife for my wife. The handle is a center-ripped ash branch and has been finger-grooved, making lots of beautiful end-grain. I have given it three coats of...

    Fellow Lumberjocks, for the edification of our readers (and for my curiousity), have any of you personally used or inspected closely the below MAXIMUM-branded (Canada only - Canadian Tire in-house brand) compound sliding miter saw (CSMS) recently made available 1-2 months ago? Any thoughts...
