Hello Everyone. All that I need to do is clean it up with the buffing wheel and I will be done with this project. I spent some time today filing the flutes of one side of this bone handle. Now everything flows together. NOTE: I just noticed that in pix. #10 the guard is on upside down. Go figure! ;-P Anyhow, this project is the first one of its line. It is for my self and I will have to live with the mistakes. (its all part of the learning.) ;-) It was a Chinese made knife which I bought at a supply house, for under $5.00 each. As I see it. I could not afford to not try for this price. Any question or comments are as always welcome. Its all part of the Learning experience. Have a good day. C.A.G.

I made a stacked leather handle for one a few weeks ago. This time I wanted to try the Legacy. by using a "dog" you can cut and turn thin objects. By taking the old scale/knife handle off and using it as a size modal for what I want to end up with. I then cut a dog out of a piece of cedar wood. Yes I know cedar is to soft to use for a jig under normal work, but my thinking was to make a disposable/ one time jig. ( I had it in my scrap barrel, so why not use it. I can always make more if need be.) I set the bone into the grove that I cut for the scale/knife handle. and used hot melt glue to hold it in place, then taking venal tape/ electrical tape, and re-enforcing the ends so the bone will not come loose. NOTE: the bone is longer then what I need, so It will be cut and sanded to shape, and then mounted onto the knife. The bone that I am using is form a dog bone/dog chew/beef bone, sold at most pet-food stores, I set it a-side for this purpose a few months ago. There is some slop in the mounting, I am not sure why, but the tailstock slipped while roping, so the spindle moved some due to this... Bye the way, I used a 1/2" pitch, single start rope . with two router bits, the first one is a 1/8" bull nosed bit, and the other is a 3/4" wide, flat bottomed brick molding bit. If all goes well, tomorrow I will complete this job. just some cutting to size and hand sanding will be needed. I plan to use both glue and the original pins to hold the bone onto the knife. Have a good night everyone. talk to you all more tomorrow. C.A.G.
