Will, I got to use Spencer's Tapmatic yesterday to tap a 2-56 hole in a titanium liner

. Definitely the way to go. Of course this was after I broke a bit off drilling the hole.

Doing a little folder making yourself huh?

Will sent me all the hardware to start one myself but all that stuff is so small I can just envision hours of frustration

I'm still procrastinating....

Spencer wants to share what he has learned about making lockbacks with me before he pulls the pin and moves to Oregon. Who am I to argue?

There are quite a few tutorials out there on framelocks and linerlocks. Not nearly as much is available on interframes/lockbacks. I'll need some equipment uprgrades if I'm going to build knives that fold in the middle in my shop.

MO, Will, you guys just keep your head in the game, stay focused and get those blades out!

I am fortunate enough to be in long line with a lot of others for a blade from Will and MO.

I kinda feel sorry for these Texas boys, what with all the pressure of success and fame.

You guys both Rock! and being from Texas don't hurt either!

I do like a nice WIP thread. Thanks for sharing how its done.

**Will** · 09-07-2012, 08:40 PM

I'll try and do a updated version in the next week or so.

Have you ever used your map arm?

**Will** · 09-07-2012, 11:06 PM

I used to use it when grinding the top swedge on my knives with the KMG. Now I mostly use the work rests on the TW90 since they can do most everything the map arm can do and weigh a lot less.
