After thought!
Here is a very useful homemade tool for fitting those blind hole hidden tangs in your Bling knife project!!
I made it years ago from some 3/16" cold rolled steel rod, and a 3/16" x 3/16" tool steel lathe bit ground sharp, and silver-soldered to the rod handle.
This thing allows you to snake back in those blind holes and cut out Epoxy that squeezes out inside the pre-fit tang hole, drilled antlers, Mud Dauber nests on old forgotten projects, etc.
You can make one for nothing, IF you have a half-way decent Junk box!!
And you will not get along without it sooner or later!!
Hole Scraper Tool:
Cutter detail: Photo Looks like I need to sharpen it before I use it next time!!
