Project 2 Munetoshi petty
Step 1 - straighten the blade
Issues/ Safety issues/ Screw ups?
I don't have the skills to bend the knife by hand, so I went a different route.

After following the instruction above, the blade still wasn't straight enough so I thinned the blade down.
I will say the result is in between fair to good.

Step 2 - Stabilize my own wood
Issues/ Safety issues/ Screw ups?
So I spend the past weekend playing around with the tools, I though I was doing everything right but somehow it wasn't turning out correctly.

Then thanks to Milkbaby I realized that I purchased the wrong juice..
I have reorder the Cactus juice, hopefully this time is correct.
Step 3 - Cutting the dowel
Issues/ Safety issues/ Screw ups?
I didn't want to slow the project down while waiting for a week for the Cactus juice, so I went ahead and cut the dowel with a hacksaw.
Overall I was shocked by how straight it ended up, very happy that I succeed during the first attempt.

Step 4 - Line things up
Issues/ Safety issues/ Screw ups?
Basically prepping all the parts I will need for this handle and lining them up to see how things look.
I made a decision to try metal, I know its not beginner friendly and I probably should get some rods in there.
But anyway here we go, if it falls apart then I will go with something else later lol, the point is to experiment.

Step 4 - Glue the bottom piece of the handle
Issues/ Safety issues/ Screw ups?
I am planning on drilling the dowel hole after this is completed, hopefully it won't fall apart lol.
