My First Slip Joint

Well I finally got off my more than ample backside and made my first slip joint.A special thanks to Johnny Roberts for putting up with all my inane questions.
Well here it is. A shadow pattern saddle horn trapper.
Blade and back spring 3/32" ATS 34. .032 Stainless liners and .090 G10 scales which makes it only 5/16" thick.Blade sits dead center and the back spring is within .010 in all three positions not bad for a line ona board for set up.Gotta make a dial indicator jig.
Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome on how I can do better.
Stan
