That's lovely, is it some kind of burl?

OK, I did it... my first mod

Ladles and jellyspoons, I present the "Nitecarver"

It's an all wood butchering tool with cocobolo scales. ALL the bits came from Neil (you rock), and I managed to bodge together my idea out of it. I managed to salvage a broken tipped small blade and turn it in to something more whittley and regrind the chisel and awl which were both knackered. The scales have been sanded down to 1500 wet & dry so they are really smooth and shiny. The one with the glow dot was not exactly planned - I drilled through the bloody scale on my first hole

After calming down and getting the rest right I decided to fill it with some glow powder set in epoxy from a keyring I have. And lo, the Nitecarver was born

Now for some thread hogging pics....

I'm quite proud of the little thing for a first attempt

Happy for any input on possible improvements and ideas for Mod #2.

Great work that, I know I'd be chuffed to bit to have done it.

Meh not bad .......*goes off grumbling about how he never makes stuff that nice and wishes he had above tool* *grumble grumble*

Really nice work you should be proud

Hedge Kid · **Reply #369 on:** April 30, 2009, 12:01:23 AM

It is a beaut! I can vouch for it's smoothness! She's been sanding like a demon. Silky smooth scales

The glow dot is amazingly bright as well.

_{You could have cleaned that thumb smudge off the blade in that last picture tho! Tsk!}

Well done Nuph

Great mods guys.

nuphoria · **Reply #371 on:** April 30, 2009, 12:29:40 AM

Cheers peeps

....it could do with a bit more polishing on the metal parts but I'm not sure what to do it with. Past 1500 grit, does Brasso do the job or do I need something else to work really fine scratches out with?

Past 1500 I find wet and dry useless (tried 2000 and it just turned to sludge), its time to hit the metal polishes /rubbing compounds/toothpaste

Top job by the way, love the scales. Can't believe that's your first!

Hey, I learned from the best

OK, polishing compounds... recommend anything in particular?

You've met Spork

Well I guess that explains the fear of chickens $:-\$

I like a nice generic car paint rubbing compound (yellow tube in Halfords) followed by Brasso. If you're not bored silly with rubbing after that you can then move onto high quality car polish though I only really use that on plastics. To make it all less laborious blunt the blade edge first and then rub away whilst watching a film or the like.

Maybe we could paint your chickens with some glow powder, turn the lights out and make a loud noise

DaveK · **Reply #378 on:** April 30, 2009, 01:25:13 AM
