another try with a hidden tang??
OK so I am making another attempt at a hidden tang so what I have for the handle is a black micarta block. I am going to put a couple pieces of g10 spacer or maybe a thin piece of brass not sure yet at the front of the handle. but I also want to put more spacer or brass about halfway down the handle. so basicly I have to cut the block in half to put the spacer in. so my question is what would be the better way to go. should I cut the block now epoxy the spacer material in between to make a new solid block. then start as if it was a un touched block. Or should I start drilling the slot and get that all done then cut and epoxy in the spacers as I epoxy in the whole handle? I am just not sure what would be better to get the slots and pin hole to line up and I only have one black block right now so I don't want to mess it up and have to wait to get another
