Yes SIR !! MR Billy..lol.. Ok this is what I got after the epoxy dried and I took the clamps off..


Then I take it over to my belt sander and rough out the shape of my handle and I use the disk sander to sand off the excess brass pins..



I use my dremel to get into the finger groove..This is what she looks like at this point..

knightd:
Then back to the belt sander to knock down all of the square edges..Basically get it as close to the shape as I can with the belt sander..



Then I use my hand sander to do the finish work with 280 grit sandpaper..


And this is where we're at so far..I will be polishing and sharpening the blade next..

woodsman1031:
i hope you finish soon. I want to see it! ;D

billy:
HEy, that's super cool!  BUT...I want more pictures NOW!!  Don't make me wait, that's torture!  Why aren't you online posting pics right NOW??   Hurry!!  I want to see it done.....so do it NOW..more pics NOW, not later, NOW!!

knightd:
Next I cover the handle with tape so that the black metal dust from sanding on the blade doesn't get on the handle..


Then I used 220 and 300 grit sand paper to clean up the blade a little..


then I move to the belt sander to pre sharpen the blade..


After that I remove the tape and get ready to put the finish on the handle..



Sorry Billy but you will have to wait till tomorrow to see it finished.. :P
