It's done! Huzzah!
I proceeded to apply epoxy to one side of one of the scales, and the knife tang. I applied pressure, and lined them both up. After waiting for approximately 30 seconds, I set it down and let it cure. It's a quick setting 5 minute epoxy. After 10 minutes I did the same with the other scale. After 20 minutes, it was ready to grind to its final shape:
Yes, I know I have girly hands :x
I'll upload a video or three later tonight showing some of the handle shaping. Just let me know, woudl you all prefer I upload them to youtube, or megaupload? They're much smaller in file size now (10-23mb instead of 100-230mb)
beauty
