R.C.Edmondson Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 How did you attach the bolsters? Thanks,Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyshackleford Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 The bolster is a poured lead (will be replaced) band. I used paper and wrapped it, leaving a gap. before that I ground a relief in the blade for the lead to pour around and be a solid ring. I also fluxed the blade, but that probably did little since I only melted the lead and poured it into the paper mould. that clear? let me know I'll show you with pics as best I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnie Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Joseph, that's my kind of knife buddy. My favorites are of the colonial, frontier variety. You did a good job on that one. Thanks, for the photo.....Donnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyshackleford Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Thanks Donnie, you'll appreciate my new one coming soon. I'm trying to finish "my" knives for reenacting. There was a minor setback with one, but I'm hopefully finishing it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
