With that rough ground, you can see the blade opens and almost closes. After HT, I'll come back and final fit everything.



Note the beige pad thing... That's cabinet/pantry liners, foamy stuff that really grips. I use this to keep stuff from rolling around my bench and keeps one knife's parts together.

I'm working graveyards, so more as I get a little further along.

Thought I'd pan out for my major equipment. Excuse the mess, I just moved and I'm just now getting everything set back up. Here's my Bader.

Tap the spine holes on one liner to 0-80. I found some stuff at Rex supply called "Mike-O-Cut". Seemed to work pretty good. I have used 3-in-1 oil, or Tap Magic.

Drill the other liner and the spine with a #52, 0-80 clearance hole size.

Assemble liners and spine with 2 of your 0-80 flathead screws. Leave one to countersink.

You want your flatheads countersunk and flush with the liners. I use a 1/4", 82 deg. countersink for this chore. I chamfer until the screw is just flush. I do each hole one at a time assembled because with .040 liners, and most times with .050, I'll end up slightly chamfering into the spine.

I grind the ends of the screws flush with the liner, then flip and hit head side to make sure screws are flush.

While everything's assembled, I get the spine a little closer to liner dimensions.

You'll find yourself at the disc grinder a lot. I'm just killing the burrs.

Stop pin, dowel, screws are all flush, spine is about where I want it.
