HI GUYS,
have just finished my first folder,i made two the same design.one of the problems i had was getting the back spacers using G10 the correct thickness.I came up with a good method which may be of interest.I chucked a piece of 2 inch alu round bar in the lathe and turned up a one eighth flange on the end of the bar.I then suerglued the piece of G10 to the front of the flange then faced it down till i had the correct thickness.the size being the nominated spacer thickness minus the one eighth flange.
Got the exact thickness first time.
