Thank you, Latticino!
The angled interface was actually surprisingly easy to make. I had never done an integral before and I really wanted to make it angled to stand out. I set my file guide to the angle I wanted and filed/ sanded it flush. Did the same for the spacer. For the wood, I started with a square rectangular piece of wood and marked approximately at the correct angle. After that, using a flat platen square to my belt grinder I adjusted the angle until the tang lined up with the wood block. From there it was all about drilling/filing that rectangular hole on the wood.
As for the integral bolster, I did most of it using a semi-circular hand file. I made it symmetrical and took it down to almost blending with the bevel and then used the same file as a sanding block to blend the bolster with the bevels. i didn't include that in the video because it is very tedious work, but I could upload some of it to my google photos account for you to see how i did it, in case you are interested.
Thanks for watching the video!
Yes! The wood I was using is very brittle.
I didn't want to risk chiping the wood.. Better safe than sorry! i guess... hahaha
however, i think i should have gone for a smaller inlay. That one took off way more material than i wish I had.
