    Probably a stupid question, but why not cut one side to approximate dimensions before gluing? Risk of accidentally going too deep when shaping would seem to be reduced.

  • @soonerfrac4611
    @soonerfrac4611 Рік тому

    The pin hole is supposed to be cut off center so when you use a tapered pin it forces the handle more tightly against the rest of the assembly. That’s why the friction fit is so tight from merely a single pin.

  • @micah06v8

      It's a wakizashi though. He bought an authentic antique wakizashi to use it as a model in order to build this one. And ninjato is not a thing that existed historically.

    if you ever decide to make a solid piece blade for hiking or what have you , try notching just under the blade and nothing 1/2 an inch above the bottom and you can use 1/4 inch or less leather thong to make the twisting japanese pattern on the handle . it stays flat and simple without bulk and affords an excellent grip . cheers one smith to another .
