The only difficult part was to get the frame up. You know, arranging the foundation correctly and so on. Once that was up the rest was quite trivial

Beautiful work, mirocu! I'm just amazed that you can't get wealthy building tractor garages. Surely there's septims to be made there and you could employ yourself. You are indeed quite the craftsman.

Don´t act like I built that garage all by myself  Besides, if I started to build these for others, when would I have time to hang here and play all my games?  But thanks  -------------------- Lol bird

Khajiit started experimenting for his knife handle project today! Took a messed up tomahawk handle (hickory wood) and cut the head of it off about 5 1/2 inches (13.97cm/139.7mm for our metric friends!) down. Then Khajiit drilled a series of holes in line with each other on the part of the handle head where he made the cut and now working on clearing out the space in between the holes. Tested by tapping the knife tang down into it an now it's stuck, lol, which makes this one nervous since he's tugging on a sharp object!

The tang of the blade isn't wide enough to accommodate the usual scales and pins setup so Khajiit is doing what is called a "Hidden Tang" handle construction. You drill the holes in the handle material (for which this one is using the tomahawk handle head because it has a good shape to it) in a straight line in the center of the material: one straight down and the two on the outside at an angle towards the center hole to accommodate the shape of the knife blade tang. You then clean out the areain between the holes and you are left with a slot that will envelope the knife tang. The tsuka of a Japanese katana is a good example of a hidden tang hilt construction.

Ooh, a projects thread, eh? Bought 96 year old house last year, so I've always got something to do. Remodeling the master bedroom, at the moment.
