Awesome! Im so pumped to start a wooden prop on my ownSo ill ask you some quick questions
1. What are the best tools for a beginner to use?
It matters on what you have available and if you know how to use them.
My main 3 tools are scroll saw, Table sander, and drill press.
I also use hand drills, files, snap blade knives, sand paper, and small chisels.
2. What kind of wood do you use? It looks like on some pictures that some parts of the wood are glued. Are they glued to make a block you can carve out of, or are they pieces that have been carved and then glued?
Poplar sheets from Lowe's is the wood I use most.
I cut out each layer and glue together and some of it is then sanded for small angles on them.
3. Do you keep your pieces under presure when you glue them? The stuff I made at school got marks from that.
I use clamps with rubber faces to hold pressure on them or if I use metal clamps I put another piece of wood between the wood and clamp.
Hope that helps.

hey lee, great to see your still watching this thread , my pop just finished making a halo reach emile's kukiri knife, using juliet76's blueprints for the blade and your predator knife thread for reference pics for the sheath and handle. he gave it to me today and i was over whealmed by the beauty, size and detail of it, (btw he thinks you did a great job with yours) i was wondering:
1. did you have reference pics and if so where did you get them from?
2. is this the pistol in reach?
3. if you know of any blueprints for the reach pistol can you please send me them?
email is dansgeo@gmail.com

Once again Lee, you never fail to disappoint! If and when you mold this and make a run available, you can most definitely count me in!!!!!!!!! This is my favorite of all the pistols!
