Neighbor has the all the tools. His Dad handed them down 30 years ago. He's an ace. So no need for me to buy anything other than the materials. He did most of the work on the counters, first project, and I did 95% of it on the wood portion of the table. Counters didn't cost me anything but the stain and a bottle of bourbon for the guy helping. Also a bottle for the guy I know that owns a cabinet company for donating all the wood. Table was $500 for kiln dried black walnut slab. I bought a nice sander and the poly. Neighbor owns a machining company and built the base.
Like any good knife the steel runs the length. They'll be little slides on each side. Rough cut and sanded until they're formed to my hand. Going to do the cocobolo straight up classic bc it's gorgeous. May do some type of acrylic coloring with the other. He has 5-6 hunting knife blanks a client gave him. We're going to mess with those as well.
I provide company and he teaches me how to do the stuff while we listen to tunes and rip through domestos. Plus, it eats BBdk up so really a win, win, win situation.
