Don
I plan on taking the liner lock course once enrollment opens up. I read through the materials required section. Would it be possible to be more specific in the requirements for Ti and reamers and taps. Living where I do it will take a while to get the necessary supplies and equipment and I would prefer not to have to wait 2 to 3 weeks at the beginning of the course. Also when does enrollment open?

The locking liner and framelock courses are scheduled to start 2/15/06. Go here for the scheduled start dates. http://www.knifenetwork.com/workshop/school/index.shtml This is posted on the "Workshop" forum. The enrollment period starts 21 days prior to the start date, so enrollment will be open January 25th. Here's what I'll use 1. .050 or .060" thick 6al/4v titanium sheet for liners 2. .090 to .125" thick 6al/4v Ti for the bolsters 3. One 3/16" diameter straight pivot pin with 4-40 threads 4. Three 1/8" dia. straight pivot pins with 2-56 threads (or) three 1/8" dia. dowel pins 5. 1/8" dia. straight flute chucking reamer, HSS (Note: If you use dowel pins, you'll need a .126" dia. reamer because dowels are slightly oversize.) 6. 3/16" dia. straight chucking reamer 7. 2-56 spiral point tap with No. 49 drill HSS 8. No. 48 drill for clearance on 2-56 screw, 11/64 drill to c'bore screw head 9.

One 1/4" or 3/8" dia. 82 degree multiple flute countersink for handle materials All these supplies with the possible exception of drills, reamers and countersinks are available from Halpern Titanium, Knifekits.com. and other suppliers. Enco or MSC are good suppliers for drills, reamers, taps, etc. Or check your local industrial supply house. Anything else? ![]() Thanks for asking, Steve. This should help everyone.

Hi Don:
For the Blade, liner, and backspacer filework class what material could I purchase to lean on during the class so I don't mess up a knife? Also, where can I purchase the practice material? |

You'll need an 8" half round mill file and a chain saw file to start. |

The knife kit will be shipped to you as soon as you enroll. You'll have plenty of time to catch up with the rest of us. Don't worry about that. So, enroll ASAP! ![]() As for certain times to be on line, No. You do this on your own time whenever you have the time and post questions and comments as you go.

Don, I'm interested in the button lock course you've scheduled for April (#8) but the course info and enrollment links are for the fixed blade kit knife (#1).
Can you fix the links so I can see what I might be getting myself into, against all better judgment? -Frank __________________ --Frank J Warner Happiness is tight gibs and a flat platen. http://www.franksknives.com/ |
