Title: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: Dano on July 23, 2005, 05:38:00 PM: Let me just start out here and tell ya's I ain't much good at this, and I don't even wanna start beatin knives out of red hot steel (well maybe someday) But maybe I can help someboy else get hooked makin these babies. :D

I start out with a template I made out of poster board, knife and scale.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/dlgren/Archery/Knives/caperalong001.jpg)
Trace it out rough with a sharpie.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/dlgren/Archery/Knives/caperalong002.jpg)
Then cut it out with a 4" grinder.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/dlgren/Archery/Knives/caperalong.jpg)
Then grind it to shape with my bench grinder.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/dlgren/Archery/Knives/caperalong003.jpg)
That's all for today, tomorrow I'll do a little more work on her. Unless I feel rambunctious after dinner :bigsmyl:

Post by: wolfhawaii on July 23, 2005, 06:51:00 PM: Love that design! Can't wait to see the rest! I just got back from OK and found some more railroad spikes which i hope to turn into knives. I also got to participate in a cornstalk shoot with the Cherokee Cornstalk Shoot Society while there and saw some nice bows. Two of our shooters were up at Mojam I heard. Keep it coming!
Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: Shaun on July 23, 2005, 06:54:00 PM: Yeah, what are you cutting up for knife material and are we going to retemper it later? What is the little cardboard cutout...handle material pattern?

This is really what I need, another time consuming hobby. May have to pull the plug and retire if I get any more.

Post by: James Young on July 23, 2005, 06:56:00 PM: Man this is gonna be good... I'm sitting up here close with Sparky watching this one.. Heck My wife might even let me buid one of these as long as I dont have to sharpen it later..

Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: Dano on July 23, 2005, 07:09:00 PM: This is some junk stainless I found, .050 thick. Once I get the handle cut out and drill the holes in the blank, I'll temper the blade.

:bigsmyl: An old snuff can might work Killie.

James it might be a good idea if you don't play with sharp tools. :rolleyes: :D

Hey Dano, do you think this can be done with bandsaw blade material? I picked some up at mojam.
Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: ber643 on July 24, 2005, 06:55:00 AM: You're doin' good fer folks here, Dano. I started out lettin' my Dano Caper watch (for old times sake) but the nostalgia got to 'im and he started gettin' "misty" so I had to put him back on the shelf with my other knifes. :D
Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: Dano on July 24, 2005, 08:05:00 AM: :bigsmyl: Thanks Bernie, now put the knife up. :rolleyes:

Band saw material works great too, just takes a lot of work to polish up. Stainless is awefull hard, but what a pretty blade it makes. If you can find an old circular saw blade that doesn't have carbide tips they work great.

James just pay attention I'll get to the temper in a bit. :D
Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: Linc on July 24, 2005, 08:29:00 AM: Nice build-a-long buddy.I may even have to try it.LOL.Don't s'pose you know the grade of stainless? :bigsmyl:
Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: Dano on July 24, 2005, 09:58:00 AM: OK, I got the edge beveled and the blade roughly polished. Ready to make the handle.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/dlgren/Archery/Knives/c787a3db.jpg)
I got a box of wood scraps a friend gave me, so don't ask what kinda wood it is :knothead: I couldn't tell ya :D I trace the pattern out then rough cut them on my scroll saw,
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/dlgren/Archery/Knives/f8b4ed5d.jpg)
Then use double stick carpet tape to match them together, then sand them to the line on a spindle sander.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/dlgren/Archery/Knives/3d8749df.jpg)
Drill a couple of holes and counter sink the outside holes to accept the brass pins.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/dlgren/Archery/Knives/b6a4c91d.jpg)
Next comes the hardening, then the tempering.

Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: the Ferret on July 24, 2005, 01:17:00 PM: Those are way too purty to sharpen with a 10" mill bastard file like I do (use the same file for knife and trade points :D ). Band saw blades are great for that Sal ;)

Really nice build along Dano :thumbsup: hope they archive it

BTW have you tried cutting the knives out with a dremel tool and fibre reinforced cut off wheel? Seems like it would be easier and cleaner than with that angle grinder.

Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: hickstick on July 24, 2005, 01:42:00 PM: cool build along dano...knife looks great sofar.

one word of caution to others, if you are unsure about the steel and heat-treating, DO LIKE DANO DID, and ask someone with a little experience. queching steel too quickly can ruin hours of hard work and even be dangerous (can violently rip itself apart).

there is a ton of old steel out there waiting to be recycled. lawnmower blades do work, bed frames as lance said, hay rake teeth, car springs, tie rods, old bumper jack handles, etc.

c'mon dano...you already got the torch, why not make a simple one brick forge and try hammering? :)

Post by: Dano on July 24, 2005, 05:23:00 PM: Thanks Steve, tell them all hey for me. :wavey:

OK, I thought why let it cool overnite, it ain't getting any cooler around here So I cut some pins from 1/8" brass rod, a 1/4" over the width of the knife handle.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/dlgren/Archery/Knives/caperalong009.jpg)
Then peen the pins over on one side,
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/dlgren/Archery/Knives/caperalong011.jpg)
turn her over and do the other. Then I touch the sides of the handle to my disk sander to even up the pins
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/dlgren/Archery/Knives/caperalong010.jpg)
Now it's ready to shape and finish the handle

Post by: frankb on July 24, 2005, 07:20:00 PM: Wait... hold up for a minute [please]. :)

Dano... can you explain how you peen the pins? How do you keep the pins even on both sides?

Thanks.

Post by: Timo on July 24, 2005, 07:36:00 PM: Dano, It's so a amazing how a man can stumble around a 3D course,clumsily,leaving a blood trail,and turn around a show such fine craftsmanship? :confused:

juz kiddin there butt pipes!

Cool stuff!
Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: Dano on July 24, 2005, 08:09:00 PM: Thanks TimO, Oh butt pipe master :bigsmyl:

Frank, I start with the pins flush on the bottom of the handle, peen over one side, then tap it flush with the handle, turn it over and peen the other side. Remember I'm leaving an 1/8" of pin on each side to peen. I hope this explains the process.
Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: frankb on July 24, 2005, 08:12:00 PM: Got it! 1/4"... 1/8 each side. Thank you!

'Nuther question: When ya drill the holes for the pins... are they 1/8" holes, as well. I wasn't sure "how much" slack the pins would take up after the peening process.

Dumb question... sorry.. last one [maybe], I promise. :)

Frank B :)
Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: Dano on July 24, 2005, 08:58:00 PM: Frank, I drill the blade 1/8" as well, but I countersink the handle wood to accept the peening. I think this helps in keeping the wood from spliting while your beating on it :D

Your welcome Mike, I look forward to seeing your work.

Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: Pat B on July 25, 2005, 09:41:00 AM: Nice work, Dano. Can't wait to see the finished product...but I guess I'll have to.
I have added scales to a few pre-made blades. If I may add a bit of info...when peening the rivets, be sure to hit them straight down on to a hard surface. The purpose is to expand the brass(down through the scales and blade) and not bend them. As they expand, they hold the shank and the scale.
On a few osage(old and hard, but brittle) scales I made, I found small cracks at the rivets. From now on I will make the holes in the scales a bit larger to accept the expanding rivet.
Thanks for this great build-a-long! Pat
Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: Dano on July 25, 2005, 03:36:00 PM: Great info Pat, That's the reason I counter sink the holes in the scales to allow for expansion of the pins. I'll post the finished knife before I start on the sheath, hold your horses Terry :rolleyes: :D
Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: LeeNY on July 25, 2005, 04:01:00 PM: Dano,
Great build along, especially for us who don't have a place to put a forge.
I can't wait for the finished product!

BTW You do have my address, if not I'll email it to you!!
Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: BadKarma on July 25, 2005, 05:33:00 PM: Nice build-a-long Dano.

I've done basicly the same way. Ya might try drilling outside the lines of your blade pattern and cutting the scrap away with a hack saw and dressing up the edges at the bench grinder or a big nasty file if you dont have any kind of grinder. I have a drill press and I just go around the edges with the holes just barely touching. With some practice the scrap just falls away and the bench grinder smoothes it all down to the line.

Just a thought in case someone dont have all the tools.

No, I will not fire up the forge when its over 100 degrees!!!

Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: Plywood Bender at Work on July 26, 2005, 04:04:00 PM: Dano,

Are the pins the only thing holding the handle to the blade? As a master of overkill, I usually epoxy everything together. Actually, I will drill extra holes in the handle so the epoxy actually goes thru and ties the two sides together.

Nice knife.

Carl
Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: Dano on July 26, 2005, 06:34:00 PM: Rick, come on by any time, I have one I made for a while back that I was going to give ya Cloverdale.

Carl, I know alot of guys use nothing but epoxy to hold the pins and scales on, but I like peening them over, as long as the handle doen't get too much abuse it should hold up fine.
Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: Dano on July 26, 2005, 06:42:00 PM: I like to use a 8-10 oz. leather like a Litigo or tooling leather. Layout my patern with my posterboard again. A pair of scissors works fine to cut it out.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/dlgren/Archery/Knives/4d09cd18.jpg)
Next cut the welt to fit the outside edge of the sheath.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/dlgren/Archery/Knives/e11aa447.jpg)
Then cut the inside, useing the knife as the pattern so you get a nice tight fit.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/dlgren/Archery/Knives/c79e8a32.jpg)
Notice I left a little extra behind the blade to hold the knife in the sheath a little better.
Title: Re: Caper build along, and sheath completed
Post by: Dano on July 26, 2005, 06:53:00 PM: I like to use these little paper clips to hold it together to check the fit.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/dlgren/Archery/Knives/caperalong016.jpg)
Then rivet the belt loop on, it's easier at this point.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/dlgren/Archery/Knives/c7179c02.jpg)
Next I'll use contact cement to glue the sheath together before I apply the rivets.
