Punching the sides to get them flush is brilliant. Would've taken years for me to figure that out for myself lol

Great video, just starting to venture into hidden tang knives and this was very needed. Thank you sir
Wow that’s a really clean fit up thanks for all the advice Alex!
Thank you for the tips. Now it is working on the hardest part of it. Patience and steadiness.

Another winner here my friend. Gonna be studying
You can also use brass powder with epoxy to fill those gaps, then hit it with the polishing mechine. It would need a microscope to notice the difference
Thank you, Excellent teaching.

Why rotary tool ? A jewellers saw or these other with the small strip as saw blade would work, too? And again, I should watch the whole video, instead of commenting in the middle :D You just said, that :D

This brass was generously gifted to me by Sam Towns, and is 6mm thick. Many metal scrapyards, however, will stockpile brass.

@@ValhallaIronworks Oh good one. I don't know of any scrap yards that have brass. Have asked.
Apparently Aluminum Bronze above 18% Aluminum is quench hardening..... I made some once and thought I was annealing it so dunked in a billabong full of Bundy and the bugger hardened on me...

Ah, because this isn't a tutorial on how to DO hidden tang guard fit-ups. It's just a tutorial on how to get better looking, tighter fit-ups. It assumes that you already know how to do a basic guard fit-up.

Rub chalk on a clean file to keep it from getting bunged up. Kinda sorta lubricates as well
