You wouldn't want to rest your head and lean on your elbow with that on

Surprised it's not paper
I've been thinking about the surface finish for the handle that I will use with jake's blade, I think a denser take on the "dimply" concept just might work...

Lots of swarf later, coming on pretty nicely even if I say so myself

Cheers guys, really happy with how this is coming along

working on the firing mechanism, I've gone for a 5 point detent which should hopefully spread the load and make it a bit easier to trigger, as well as reducing wear on the "tail" section.
Amazing how much more quickly build logs get updated when you're not using epoxy

Beautiful work!
Must have taken quite some time I guess?

99 individual ball mill strokes, didn't take
that long to be honest, the rotary table makes it easy - you just have to maintain your concentration because one wrong measurement and you can bin it - amazingly I got it right first time, though admittedly I did give it a go on the old knife body first.

I would probably lose my concentration for a few seconds (aspie

) and make some stupid mistake
Does it give a lot of extra grip?

You'll be amazed...
Handle done, all I need to do is to make the "tail" for the blade
