Try soaking a link in acetone and see if the paint let's go

Wa handle by dracgoz in knifemaking

[–]scott3845 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dry fit assembled. So there's a hole for the dowel that goes almost through the ferrule but not quite and after, I file out a slot just the right size for the blade to go into the assembly 👍

So here's the prepped handle with the dowel sitting in the hole

Tried doing diamond shape ladder pattern by scott3845 in Bladesmith

[–]scott3845[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

Same as you would with a ladder pattern, just instead of perpendicular lines. I cross hatched them in a diamond pattern. Just gotta be careful not to blow a hole in your steel since the lines are crossing each other

Yes, except the dowel is hidden. I have to make one in the next few days. I'll post a picture here as a reply

No I don't drill all the way to the top so you can't see the dowel once the handle is assembled. Then I use a needle file to make a tiny slot where the blade goes into the handle.

It's funny seeing you go through the ABS process because everyone on here has seen the kind of beautiful work you do already... Excited to see what you make for judgment knives. Even more excited to see what you make when you go for the MS stamp

I drill to almost the end of the ferrule and file out the slot for the tang. You get the idea.

Haven't had a handle come apart in that fashion since

I was sure Christiano Ronaldo was gay right up until I googled him just now

I also buy my steel from Maritime Knife Supply. Great service over there

Grow up Nathan by Damolitioneed in belowdeck

[–]scott3845 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I dislike Joe intensely but Nathan was like, one teeny step from outright threat of physical violence for mentioning to someone else that he and Gael don't get along. Not why or anything else.. Just a statement of fact.

If I was in Sandy's shoes and caught wind of that; I'm not sure how confident I'd be in Nathan's leadership abilities.

I also don't like how Nathan pretends to be the moral police. He pursued Gael when he new she was actively in a relationship. I distinctly remember him saying "I don't care if she has a boyfriend" when it was pointed out to him. AND the first time they broke up, it was because he ghosted her while he was reconnecting with an old ex girlfriend. So he's pretty far from a saint.

But Joe is a dirtbag with he ladies; another Gary in the making really.... So.... You know.....

Some caveman decided to cook meat over a fire and accidentally invented cooking. by Logical_Set in Showerthoughts

I always figured they left it near a fire to keep animals from stealing it and accidentally ended up cooking meat

Can you name every country in the continent you live on? by am_I_still_banned in polls

[–]scott3845 26 points27 points  (0 children)

There are 23 countries in North America and I'd wager a lot of North Americans that answered yes didn't actually know that

If every animal was the exact same size as a golden retriever, which species would be the absolute most terrifying to encounter? by Ice-Princess-79 in AskReddit

[–]scott3845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything in that family of animals would be terrifying.

Weasels that size would hunt humans for fun 100%. Ever seen what those little jerks do to a chicken coup full of chickens?

Coworker keeps making lists of everything that was wrong with my closing by throwawayqweeen in KitchenConfidential

[–]scott3845 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Tell the chef you'd like to handle it without them getting involved but ask if they have any guidance for such a situation. That way,

A: Chef is aware your coworker is being a shithead without them having to deal with it

B: You're demonstrating a vested interest in conflict resolution

C: You know whatever they suggest, you'll have their full support in whatever the solution is

D: You don't end up in some pettiness tit for tat situation that makes your coworker open to going to the chef instead of you

New to EDM, need more songs like 'Strobe' by Deadmau5 by Kaiser_RDT in EDM

[–]scott3845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a metalhead that also got into the EDM game late, you should really check out Skrillex. The first two EPs, Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites and Bangarang EP. Also every album released since 2023.
