Getting a GRIP on things

Yup, it's a terrible pun and I make no apologies.
Last night my dad picked me up some more materials for finishing up Jim's knife. I'm really lucky to have a dad who's so supportive of this hobby/hopeful-profession. He's basically paid for all of my tools. Paid for the forge ($120+,) materials ($60+,) Belt Grinder ($120~,)bench vise ($30~,) and a bunch of other items.
So any way, he picked up two clamps and some epoxy, so I was able to put the wood scales on Jim's knife. I recorded the whole thing, and gave some narration, too. I'm nervous, so my voice is shaky and I have an awful speaking voice. Although, I'd still like to mention that the camera makes me sound a lot more nasal and lispy than I really am :x

    Great to have supportive family members like that. I'm thankful for my parents as well! Too often you hear about people's parents that just treat them like servants or a punching-doll (physically or verbally).

    Keep up the good work with the vids!

    Enjoyed the video! Have you ever thought of using brass pins for the handle as well? Would really add that extra touch to your knives.
