Hey Don, I just got the plans tonight when I came home from work. I'm hoping to get a little work done on this over the weekend. I'll see if Alan wants to make one alongside me. If he does, I'll try to get him involved in the thread.

Alan Folts, he's around here, but he doesn't post much. Alan has sort of become my local (75 miles away) mentor and I spend as many Saturdays or Sundays as I can with him in the shop. He's a very talented maker and we're supposed to be doing some folder work, so I think this is a good opportunity

I heat treated my blade and backspacer over the weekend, but didn't have time to work on the knife today. The blade and spacer are made of 154CM.
It won't take long to finish now! the rest of you are being quiet. hope you're all working on your barlows. Has anyone NOT received the design yet??

Hey Don, I'll let Alan know this weekend. Spent last Saturday finishing up a KITH project and watching Alan grind out several blades. I think he's in on this one, we might just be slow starters. I also have to make a kitchen knife for the wife and I think he'll be finishing his projects over the weekend, so after those we'll get to folder work. Days in the shop never seem to go as fast as I expect them!

 But I can't hold my breath that long.

Here is photos of Barlow -in-progress. Handles are stabilized maple burl, carbon fiber bolsters , 0.050 titanium liners & 416 ss backspacer. Blade is in process of heat -treat. May do some filework on spacer while waiting on blade.
Happy Thanksgiving, Joe

That looks great, Joe.
Be sure to heat treat the back spacer since it's the blade stop.

 Hey Don , I was wondering if I could change it up a bit. I'd like to scale it down a little , its a bit big for my liking. Dwane
