Nice work on the Machete, Mag. Try using some small files to enlarge your handle holes. That's what I usually do. You can usually get a whole set a Harbor Freight pretty cheep. Takes a little time to file the holes out, but since there going to be covered anyway, you don't have to worry about them being totally even.

I really like the Blade you made too!! Steel probably is a little questionable though. One suggestion, If you want to make a blade, replacement lawn mower blades are pretty cheap, and that's pretty decent knife Blade steel. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I've done that before, worked out pretty good.




Nice Forge SP, I've been planning on building a forge forever... still haven't gotten around to it though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />
