Re: Flock of mules
Back to tending the flock!
Halloween project I did with Magnacut, but going to switch it to Z-wear and call it Zombiewear. Natural canvas on black canvas micarta with toxic green G10 liner.
Have shred CF on my bench currently with jade liner that I hope to finish this weekend. Will be my 1st attempt at titanium pins, so it will be interesting.

Can we get a few photos of the one 5th from the right….Pretty PleaselegOFwhat? wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 7:06 pm
Since I had the mules corralled up and finished working on the Z-max, I thought I'd share a photo.
I'm to try to turn this thin-blue-line sheet of Kydex into a sheath but I'm not sure how to get the most effect out of it...
Im a vegetarian as technically cows are made of grass and water.

Re: Flock of mules
12k-30k if you believe the grit chart on the pen-blank sanding pad grit chart. Then buffed.

Re: Flock of mules
Only recently received sandpaper that went past 5k….would never have thought I would have a sandpaper supplier…… let alone spent $200 on sandpaper like last order.
Love the tools and supplies aspect of making handles as much if not more than just buying…Who needs to wait for sprints in certain colours when you can make any colour or material you want…

Re: Flock of mules
spent about $150 yesterday on Kydex and micarta! Thats been my favorite aspect as well, tools, supplies matching up scales and most of all learning new skills. Crank up music in the garage and get lost in working on a mule, not a bad day!standy99 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 19, 2022 12:53 amOnly recently received sandpaper that went past 5k….would never have thought I would have a sandpaper supplier…… let alone spent $200 on sandpaper like last order.

Re: Flock of mules
Holiday garage time! Hoping to complete 2 mules before Monday.
Just to show the pattern of the marble iridium cf. Still need some shaping and then go through grit progression. Not sure i like the glitter-ish effect

Re: Flock of mules
I'm pretty sure I was from Jantz. https://knifemaking.com/
https://usaknifemaker.com/ I've only ordered from these two. Last green I got from usaknifemaker.com is more yellow and not as toxic green as above.

Re: Flock of mules
Last heap of G10 I bit the bullet and ordered from Pops knife supply. Needed bubblegum pink for a custom knife I made for someone. Was lucky to score some Magnacut steel also.legOFwhat? wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 1:35 pmI'm pretty sure I was from Jantz. https://knifemaking.com/

Re: Flock of mules
Pops has been great for me. I got some magnacut there, and also some relatively hard to find G-10 colors (bubble gum, Tiffany and the blue lava).
