Wow what a great wealth of information you guys have provided.
Thank you very much for both your time and money spent .
I eagerly await the resulting spread sheet.
Thanks again.
PS
The last knife i made I used devcon 2 ton with no pins at all It held for a few days and one scale popped off no whacking or dishwashing needed. The whole knife was an experiment for me as I am very new to the hobby and it was my first attempt at making my own hand guard I used hickory from a new splitting maul handle I killed on the third peice of oak
I wont be using it again I I will be pinning all of my handles from now on.
