  • Man awesome video! You've inspired me to try and make some custom grip panels for my Ruger Mk III pistol. Off to the hardware store!!!

  • @playdrums Great. Make sure you let me know how it turns out.

  • Great video, thanks. Do you apply any sort varnish or oil once the micarta is buffed? I'm having trouble getting the colors to really pop on mine.

  • @jonindenver All I do is sand with finer and finer grits, finishing with a worn out 600 (400 would probably work as well) and then buff with a clean wheel and white buffing compound.

  • Where'd you get that knife blank from because that is exactly what I've been looking for!

  • @guardians38 Something I picked up at a gun show many years ago. Since I started making knives I don't use blanks anymore. There are quite a few knife making supply places on the web that sell knife blanks.

  • i'll be straightforward with you. that came out fucking beautifully.

  • Lots of work with that little belt sander and grinder, reminds me of when I first started making knives. Loooking Good, keep it up bro.

  • Thank you for posting this. I'm inspired to experiment with this idea and one thing I will try is to use layers of silk. Being thinner than denim I expect I'll have to use more layers but I suspect a couple of scarves or a shirt from Good Will will provide enough material.

  • Thank you for sharing, great vids. I am going to give this a try. Really like how it turned out. Thumbs up.

  • great vid thanks for the info

  • @guardians38 Hey Guardian I have gotten a few good blanks from this guy on Ebay... his seller id is "premiumknifesupply.inc" check him out... :)

  • Great Video...Loved the way it ended up looking...Thank you for the tips...
