a triple-peak bogata,with a snake,and a custom snake with a bypass tool ,
all set for handles...
will update as i progress
what do you guys think?
the inverted snake is a â„¢Best EATER,with a huge appetite...the bypass tool is functional but will not be completely effective until handled...
the boga...well you all know what that does to locks..and the snake on the other end of the boga
is also very handy...
sorry 'bout the $hitty pic.(there will be more)

My opinion's worth about as much as a restraining order on necrophilic gorilla standing over me while I try to play dead, but I think they look well crafted, ready to polish. good job! (woohoo)

Those are a couple of beauty's, superb craftsmanship as always.

It wasn't till I had a go at making a slim well spaced boga myself did I realise the skill needed to produce something like the fine tools you make... my first attempt came out a little thick and chunky, but I will just have to be brave and take more metal off next time.

What's the plan for handles? More wiper inserts plus heatshrink?

Here's mine: hope ya don't mind me putting my pic in your thread? (...and I swear they have a mirror finish to the eye, just shows you eh?)

those are great!
excellent stuff,man..yeah handles are sandwiched inserts,bonded with 2-part liquid metal epoxy resin,then 1 layer of dual-wall heatshrink,(the type with the hot glue inside)
then a second layer of heatshrink tubing over that..they last forever....
