lol sad between coats... it's both a typo and true! I remember when you pulled that knife out on our backcountry camping trip. I thought it was some kind of cheap knock off knife with the plastic handle/sheath. I really like how you improved it!

FYI there are Morakniv blades with full tang available for sale! Saves you the work of removing original handle with the dremel😃
Just discovered your channel, you definitely deserve more views. Don’t give up, your videos are awesome! I didn’t watched your videos yet so maybe I missed it, but it would be great to see some tutorials on leatherworking. Explaining the tools, products you use, ...

Thanks, Andy! It’s pretty good, the brushless motor is very nice on a rotary tool. Battery life left a bit to be desired when I was cutting off the old handle, but it seemed to last for a very long time when I was power carving. Maybe I just overstrained the motor with the cutting.

Another big pro - it’s way quieter than my wired Wen rotary tool, meaning I can use it indoors from time to time!

When is it acceptable to use nails in your project? When you're using them as pins 😉🤣

Interesting philosophy! I kind of like using nails, there’s something very satisfying and ancient about them. And they’re about 100x more enjoyable than flat head screws 😂

Awesome my friend, I know the feeling of working hours on something that can be purchased for $30 dollars 😅 but I rather spend endless amount of time and money buying tools and stuff I’ll never use again just to get the high of knowing I made it myself 😊 you have my admiration and respect 🫡
