I'm looking into getting into the knife making game. I'm starting off with handles first and going from there.
I'll start out by just broaching a tang hole in a uni-body piece of wood. Using a small-width drill bit, a drill press, jig saw blade, and files. I've done enough research to figure this bit out on my own.
For handles with ferrules, would it be possible to make a wa style handle without using a dowel?
From my understanding the dowel helps with stability by giving the epoxy more surface area to adhere and thus giving a stronger bond; especially resistant to shear. Let me know if there is more to this, or if I'm getting something wrong.
