Even easier will make a knife for a knife, which will be incredibly aesthetic in appearance - as well as durable - from the bone or from the horns of various animals. Most often on such crafts go horn Elsh or deer, and if you manage to get saiga - you can consider yourself lucky, because similar material Already has beautiful irregularities and bent slightly.

Those who wish to make a knife for a knife from such "raw materials" should be first to remove from the last core, then pecking it a couple of clock. After that, the rog should be shorted with a backup file and the sidewall of the future handle - to remove irregularities. Fix the blade knife in it can be using wooden and metal plates.

One of the simplest (even for beginner craftsmen) ways to make a knife for a knife - a set method. The zonovskiy handles collected in this way were not popular - usually from pieces of colored plexiglas or plastic. Creating products from such materials, it should be borne in mind: they are uncomfortable in operation due to their slipping.

Make a knife handle in a similar way better from Berrés or very thin wood of different shades.

This material to make a knife handle is cut by pieces. desired sizeIn each of them, a hole for the rod of the blade is done - and everything is rolled out on the last intention with metal plates, and after - is well cleaned.

To make a handle for an aesthetic knife in appearance, it is not necessary to create a similar product "from scratch". It is possible to decorate the already existing handle - for example, wrap it with a piece of skin suitable sizes or durable colored thread or a very thin twine.

It will be great if you manage to make a knife for a knife from a tree or a bone with thread or more complex patterns made in the popular pyrography technique. In modern conditions, it takes a special device - a pyrograph that the material of the handle and the desired form is given.

Manufacturing a knife with their own hands at home

There are many different types of knives on the cold weapon market, but there are still people who want to make themselves a knife on their own, at home. And right, because it will be exclusively their product, original and not similar to others.

This article will help to figure out the novice in the manufacture of knives in the absence of special conditions and will tell you how to choose the materials for the manufacture of knives and in general will tell you what to do with them, so do not judge strictly 🙂

For the manufacture of a knife at home from beginning to end, you will need:

Blade or material for its manufacture;
- materials for handles;
- Additional details for the manufacture of screwed, gards, the hospital - or ready-made out of the store;
- fasteners (depending on the manufacturer's strategy - epoxy, screws, etc.)

Knife making blade

To begin with, consider the question of what you need to do with the blade. First, it will be extremely problematic to produce it at home yourself - if you do not have the opportunity to post the blade yourself, so the best solution will be ready to buy, for example, Lauri 125 blade from carbon steel.

Where to buy a blade for the manufacture of a knife?

Sources selling prepared for homemade knife blade - quite a lot: they can be bought as at major-private owners on the same Guns.ru or at the exhibitions of cold weapons, buy blades in other online stores; And you can order an industrial blade from the manufacturer, including in Chinese auction sites, such as eBay or Aliexpress.

There are very high-quality and inexpensive clink catalogs at Finnish (and indeed Scandinavian) manufacturers, I can recommend them.
If you are very difficult with searching for a suitable blade - you take just a metal sheet, for example, a sipped piece of springs, give him a form and work with him.

Of course, the purchased blade should be modified. To do this, you need to take a file or even a circle and rough water stones (if your product is very "raw" and you still need to withdraw the descent) and hone the blade to the desired view and forms, and then with the help of sandpaper, pollute all irregularities.

Check the quality of the product is easiest possible in this way: wipe the finished blade and breathe on it. With high-quality blade, the Hapin will come down without any irregularities, and it will be without breakthroughs. At the same time, such an experience is better spent several times from different sides.

What kind of knife began to make - questions for other articles, you can read the materials on our site, such as an article.

Knife handle with their own hands

Next will deal with the future handle of your knife. Best and easier to take a tree for her, as in the future the wooden handle of the self-made knife will look pleasant, and the hand will not freeze from it. A variety of wood will suit absolutely any - the more you just learn.

The simplest knife handle is made from the old legs of the Soviet tables, chairs, sofas, or seats, because previously the furniture was made to glory. With the help of the hacksaw, we saw the piece by the length of the length, then we rudely cut down the shape of the handle, whatever I would like to see on the finished product. It also needs to be done in the handle for the shank of your blade - for example, drill and handle with proper. Through or short-cutting this hole - depends on the finished knife design.

Ideally, you need to draw an exemplary drawing of a knife that is manufactured at home. You already have blade and exemplary sizes and outlines of handles. And according to the drawn layout it will be easier to make a finished knife, bringing it after the assembly to the perfection of the sandpaper.

If you are already more or less able to make a knife with your own hands - you can buy brisks of stabilized wood (it turns out very beautiful and strong handles), or try to make a handle from a typical birch or extruded skin; You can make a woven handle - a lot of options. You will move to the next level of "SCELLATION", so to speak 🙂

Important details for the manufacture of a knife at home

Garda is specially designed to protect the hand of the owner of a knife. You can make it from metal or from wood or buy already ready in specialized stores. You can make a knife at all without gard or combat stop - it is not a cold weapon.
The Britis - serves both to decorate a knife and to get rid of the handle from excessive load. It can be made of wood or metal - for example, make a combuary from a coin or sore tag.
Handles are opposite to the blade, performs such functions as: change the balance of the finished knife, aesthetic function (for beauty). Also, you often play the role of nut, which is screwed onto the shank (if you have through it). It is made by the knife handles from various materials - but better adhere to a single style.

Build knife

Having considered all the details of the future knife, having gathered everything together, having prepared a bit and processing the components of the ingredients of this "recipe" - it is possible to turn directly to the very assembly of the knife. To do this, you will need some more non-hard things: sandpaper for finish treatment Handle and polishing finished products, two types of binary glue (epoxy and cold welding), hammer or mall, paper tape (to stick - protect from scratches blade and other polished metal parts of the collected knife when processing the sandpaper of the handle and giving the homemade knife of the completed form ).

First, you need to dissolve the epoxy and wrap it with a skin gasket, which then applies to that part of the blade, which will be inside the tree - shank. Next is cut " cold welding"And quickly puts on the bottom drilled in the handle of the hole under the tail of the blade, where it is actually invested.

Carefully driven the blade inside with a hammer or a queen, you give the knife the final look. For some time, I would have perfectly clamp a clamp assembled knife until the epoxy is frozen. In the end, a knife, made with their own hands at home - will only be altered and decorate at its discretion.

As more simple option You can make an overhead handle - of two plates (wooden, for example), which are attached to the shank of the blade on the right and left. Such a handle is usually attached on the screws, in addition to epoxy, but it usually looks simpler.

When you give the perfect shape of the handle and make sure that the assembly of your homemade knife is reliable - you can start making 🙂

Handle knife is no less important element than the blade itself, because the ease of the knife lies in the hand depends on the convenience and safety of use. Handle also carries decorative features, Especially if the knife is souvenir. In some northern nations, the handle is appreciated even more than the blade itself. It is made of non-hard steel, which can be sharpened about any stone. And when the blade is stepping out, the clink part is thrown away, and a new blade is inserted into the usual and comfortable handle. Consider some materials used in the manufacture of knives handle.

The simplest handle can be formed by winding the tail part of the knife. Such a handle can often be seen in throwing or tactical knives.

Many knife manufacturers are used for the manufacture of handles traditional materials, such as wood, horn or bone. The tree is used in mass production, and in the manufacture of piece specimens by masters of a knife business. In different regions use various breeds Woods that are most accessible are well processed, or have a beautiful texture.

For example, for the manufacture of the handle is used nut, maple, oak, apple tree, pear, ash, cherry. Although, currently, billets are available from various exotic varieties of wood, which grow in tropical countries. True, many rare wood rocks are harder to be processed, because they have a high hardness.

Author's knives with wooden handles are often decorated with threads or encrusted with various inserts. For notches, brass, silver or golden wire is used. It is rolled into strips, and then drive into the grooves, which are made in the form of an ornament, so for these purposes soft dense wood is suitable, such as nut. For threads, wood fools are well suited for threads - maple, dog, apple tree, male, juniper, pear. From tropical breeds for these purposes, lemon, red or pink tree are used.

IN middle lane Russia, a berson is often used for the handle. From it makes a set of handles, that is, the plates of Berriests are planted on the knife shank, they write and produce processing. Sometimes on the contrary, first prepare the billets from the pressed bark, then they fix them on the shank, and processed.

After processing Berestov, the handle gets beautiful and slightly corrugated surface. One of the advantages of the barking handle is that it turns out completely natural, since it is done without the use of impregnations and varnishes. The handle from Beresto does not slide, even if the wet or dirty in scratch or blood. She is warm and pleasant to the touch.

Of natural materialsThe horn of wild animals is used for the manufacture of the handle. Basically, the horn is used in hunting knives, or souvenir versions. From the horns of the noble deer, the most beautiful handles are obtained. The material is quite durable and is well processed. Elki horn is also well processed, but it is heavier, and acquires grey colour After polishing. The horn of the American Belohal Deer and the reindeer is used less often due to a more porous structure.

In the catalogs of knives, you can often see Nepalese Kukri Knives. Some knives have handles from buffalo horns.

In the manufacture of knives, synthetic materials are widely used. Previously used plexiglas, plastic, textolit. Modern synthetic materialsApplied in knife affairs, quite a lot, such as Fiberglass, G-10, Delrin, Grivory, Zytel, Kraton, Carbon, McCart, Lexane, Nylon, Elastron and some others.

In the descriptions of the characteristics of the imported knives, it is often possible to see the Zytel material. This material is made on the basis of nylon, but is distinguished by greater rigidity and better wear resistance. These quality materials depend on the type and quantity of the resin added. The material is difficult to scratch, it has a high shock viscosity and heat resistance. Usually, the zytel handles make corrugated, for better clutch with palm.

Another material from which handles are made - Grivory. This is a modern fiberglass, very resistant to thermal, as well as ultraviolet exposure. Grivory material is technological and even stronger than Zytel.

Currently, widespread in the manufacture of knives, received McCart. She is moisture-resistant, durable and has a good appearance. The material is well processed. McCarta is a material consisting of a mixture of resin, which various electrical insulating materials are glued. As layers for gluing, various types of paper and fabric are used. The texture and color of the material depends on the structure and color of the components, as well as the resin used to glue the filler. Therefore, changing the color of the components, they receive a very interesting texture and color compositions of the music. Sometimes Mcarda mimics some natural materials, for example, tree.

There is another synthetic that mimics natural materials, such as "Elforin". It serves as a substitute for ivory. The material is well cut, processed and polished, besides, it has resistance to the effects of acids and oils, and even more so ordinary moisture.

Another frequently used material is "craton". It is used as independent material For knife handles, and as an insert in handle from another material. Kraton is a synthetic rubber substitute, that is andz.larsen rubber. The material is more wear-resistant than rubber. The multiple handle does not slip in the hand, besides, the surface of the handle is usually made by corrugated, so it is firmly sits in the palm of palm.

The popular material of the knife handle is also G-10 . This is a fiberglass, which is manufactured on the basis of fiberglass and epoxy binders. G-10 non-flammable moisture resistant material with dielectric properties. As a result of the additive of dyes, you can get products of various colors. Of the disadvantages of the material G-10, the deterioration of the strength characteristics at low temperatures can be noted.

Many producers, especially Russian, make knives with elastron handles. Elastron G rubbing has the strength of a vulcanized rubber, and it remains flexible with a wide range of temperatures - from minus 65 ° C to + 150 ° C.

And just for those who like to visit the site in search of an interesting and useful. Sometimes it happens that it is not always that the manufacturer invites us may come in everyday use, so it often has to include imagination and make it all yourself, and making your own hands you will be confident in our manufacture. This article also makes sense to rework ready, so smoothly go to the assembly.

As usual in any homemade, the material is required and what we want to change, in this case it will be a knife. In order to assemble a knife for a knife, the author explains that necessary, this is:
* Beresta.
* Himself without a handle.
* Clamping vice on stiletts with lamb.
* Bulgarian with grinding round of medium grain.
*Glue.

When all assembly materials are ready, you can begin assembly.
First of all, the author took the bores with a thickness of 5-6mm on both sides and endured holes in them suitable for a steel knife handle.

After which the databases should be cut sufficient number Berrésta squares and approximately commeasure whether they are enough for the length of the handle.

When the required amount is cut - go to another step.
In each square, barks do a hole than to do it to decide, for a better opening you can apply a tree drill, which is slightly larger than the sleeve diameter on the knife. Such a process repeat with all other elements of our future handle.

When all Beresta is attached on the handle, then slightly press them to each other, and then soak between each glue and withstand a couple of dozen minutes.

When the glue slightly grabbed, it can be armed with visk on the studs to press the entire design, after having removed from the knife.

For further processing, it is necessary to give glue to dry finally and when you are already confident that glue is trying to embark on grinding and legend of the form. To grinding it is more convenient, you need to wear our extruded Beresta back to the knife handle and equipped with a grinder grinding wheel Get processed.

Attention! All work with the grinder must be carried out with marginal caution and abide by security measures. For the beginning with the help of a grinder, give the square shape of the handle.

After that, we grind it to oval, comfortable for landing in your hand.

Ultimately the author gives brilliant view Handle with polishing.

On this self-made handle for the knife is ready, you can repeat it without much effort, and its manufacture does not require high skills. Thank you all for reading this article, as well as a particular thanks to the author Inw.

Tree is not only universal and popular construction material. In everyday life, wood objects are used everywhere and constantly, especially since the tree is very lightweight in the processing. Wooden knife handle with their own hands - not at all such a difficult task, as it seems at first glance.

Types of handles

The wooden handle for the folding or ordinary kitchen model should be primarily convenient. Actually this is the attractiveness of manufacture with your own hands: you can perform a handle of any configuration, any size suitable under your hand and soak in any composition.

With independent manufacture, 2 types of wooden handle are most often used:

• sad - in the end of the product is formed a cavity in which a blade with a narrow shank is fixed. The handle at the same time is a single whole and very resistant to damage. Folding knife thus not do;
• patch - suitable for blades with a wide shank. In this case, the handle consists of two parts, which are superimposed on the blade. The handle is worse, which allows you to balance a wide blade. For a kitchen knife, for example, it is important. The folding model always refers to the type of invoice. The photo shows a set for a folding option.

Materials and tools

To make a knife kitchen with a wooden handle, it is necessary to choose the desired wood, handle, soak, embed the parts and secure the selected way. This will require such materials.

• Tree - as a rule, choose wood with original texture and pattern so that the product is attractive, as in the picture. In this case, preference is given to solid and durable rocks - oak, nut, maple. Cut from such wood a handle is more complicated, but the result will serve for a long time. In any case, wood needs to pick dry - no more than 12-15% humidity, and must be treated with antiseptics.
• Actually blade - purchased ready. For the manufacture you need to know exactly the shank sizes and weight blades.
• Fasteners - for kitchen knives with a skiing handle use epoxy resin. A brass or copper rod of the desired diameter was needed for attaching an oven handle.
• Impregnation - the product must be soaked with a suitable composition. Most often use linseed oil or special dishes. It is necessary to impregnate the handle not only for the purpose of giving it a beautiful shine: the composition protects the tree from the action of moisture. How to impregnate the wooden knife knob depends on the type of product.
• Tool - as a rule, a set is quite ordinary: cutters, plans, hacksaw. However, to accelerate the process, you can resort to electrical models.

How to make a handle

To make a handle, you need a certain experience with wood.

At the same time, this work is quite suitable for the practice of a newcomer.

1. The tree before work must be impregnated with an antiseptic.
2. A knife is cut out with a blank of a suitable shape with a hacksaw or electric lobby. If this is the first sample, it is better to do without deepening under the fingers, but if experience already exists, you can choose the most optimal configuration. At the first stage, the workpiece has only an approximate shape, then the cutter and hacksaw it is brought to perfection. Than to process a wooden knife knob depends on the skill and wishes of the wizard.
3. Finished blanks are treated with sandpaper to perfect smoothness.
4. In the end of the product drill the groove for the blade. The depth depends on the weight of the blade. The shank must easily sit on the handle. In the photo - the formation of the groove.
5. Then the product is treated, for example, linseed oil. The oil is poured into a small pan, put on a water bath, and the workpiece is immersed in the impregnation and retain until the air bubbles appear.
6. Wooden handle leave dry.
7. Prepare epoxy resin - according to the instructions. Mix it with wood sawdust, and fill the resin cavity of the handle.
8. In the cavity insert the blade by following proper positionAnd leave to dry for a day. So as not to stain the product, and epoxy resin rubs off with great difficulty, the blade is wrapped with scotch, as in the picture.

The invoice model for the folding knife is made somewhat differently. Here the set of tools will include rivets and vice.

1. The billet of coarse shape is held in vice and cut into 2 parts. Then both details are adjusted to perfection using cutters and sandpaper.
2. Collect the product: Blade placed between the parts of the handle. Mounting places and drill holes through the workpiece. Thus achieve the perfect coincidence of holes.
3. Then made from a rod with a diameter that coincides with the hole diameter, rivets.
4. Billets are treated with oil according to the technology described above.
5. The epoxy resin is applied to the inner side of the details, shank and rivets. Collect the product and fracture tightly with scotch.
6. After a day, the handle should be ready. If necessary, it is purified by epoxy resin excess.

On the video, the manufacture of handles with their own hands is illuminated in more detail.

Advise how the typical handle from the skin is properly made? Do not want to make a handle from the tree, but the proper plastic, I'm afraid, do not pick up.

I am going to cut the washers in size, glue with each other with an epoxy, to clamp - and then mount large fragments directly on the shank. Actually, what is the question - what is the mounted handle processing? Does not flash the skin from the file?

You can process on a sharpening circle ... Then the skin on the rubber disk ... from the file, it all depends on the "old age" of the skin, if the old one is not very dense, then it can smash, dense "new" skin, is quite stable to such Loads and processing options ... However, it is better to use something higher-high-speed, the quality of processing will be better.

Production of a set of birch knobs for a knife with a Kankanpaa SAY blades

Knife with Kankanpai Sámi with a typical birch handle
	Rain Materials - Kankanpaa Sámi Blade, Elking Horn suitable diameterBeresta.
First, the Combist and the progress of the handle from the mowing log are made. From the horns, rounded rounds with a diameter of 2-3 cm and a thickness of about 1 cm. In both rounds, the holes are drilled and driven by the clister and shank.
	Before processing the blade is protected by painting tape for protection against scratching and sticking epoxy resin. In addition, when working with barking both the blade and its shank will be in a humid environment, which in the case of a blade of carbon steel can affect its appearance.
So, the shank is cut to the required length, the grooves are applied to it for better retention on the handle. The beneficial work is also ready for further work (right below) and the thread of the handle (left below).
	The free space between the population and the brunt will be filled with birch insert. This distance must be washed to calculate need quantity Beresian spacer.
Now proceed to the manufacture of birch handle. In the first step of berson is cleaned from a white layer from the front side and a cork layer with the inner. For this procedure, you can use a metal brush or a sharp knife for scraping unnecessary layers.
	Beresta is cut into squares-spacers in the required quantity. In this case, the necessary spacer length was 8 cm with a thickness of Berrés about 2 mm. Total took 80mm: 2 mm \u003d 40 squares. Plus, another 2-3 pieces about the reserve - in the case of the destruction of the beretta package.
In the future, Beresta went to the bath with water for 10-20 seconds to impart elasticity and holes were made through the holes under the shank using a semicircular wood cutter and a sharp knife.
	Upon completion of the process, the package from the spacer is assembled on the shank (with the combstore and the population) and is pressed using a simple device (see photo). In this handle, barking spacers "glued" exclusively at the expense of moisture, although the design allows for use different adhesives (for example, waterproof PVA).
After a pair of drying hours on the shank, the package is neatly removed from the future knife and already separately clamped between parallel and smooth surfaces. It is important not to disturb the integrity of the package and the alignment of the holes in the spacers when removing the pressed beered from the shank. Periodically, it is necessary to delay the nuts of the pressing device to compensate for drying. After a complete drying, the packet is repeatedly trying on the shank and, if necessary, new birching spacers are added (must be moistened before adding to the package).
	After drying, the package is put on the shank together with the Britis and all parts are fixed on the shank epoxy resin. The design is again placed under the press this time until the polymerization of epoxy. After that, the handles are roughly the contours with the help of a conventional knife. At this stage, the use of skins or a file is inappropriate, a knife for soft beered work easier.
At the final stage, the handle is processed with a skin and (if desired) the blade is treated in right (this is not advertising !!!). Before etching, the scale is removed from the blade with a small skin and the blade itself is dengulated with acetone. After a night of finding a blade in an acidic environment, a beautiful gray coating is guaranteed. Important: It is necessary to get rid of gas bubbles in the drink, otherwise you can get a coating with stains at the place of subsidence of bubbles. You can shake a bottle for a long time, but you can simply warm the drink to wait for the bubbles. ● Solders. The selection of solder is made depending on the metal or alloys connected or alloys, from the method of soldering, temperature restrictions, the size of the parts required mechanical strength and corrosion rest and others. Most widely ... ● Organic glass - thermoplastic plastic - widespread and affordable Material. Released transparent or painted in mass is well processed, gluits, painted. Organic glass is polished by hand clean and dry cloth ...

To answer the question: "How to make a knife for a knife?" - You need to know what it is needed for what. For the material and often determine the functionality of the blade. This article is intended to help with the choice of material and will give several useful SovietsHow to make a knife handle.

The handle can be made of wood, metal, leather, berers, various plastics, weave from wire or a kapron cord. As can be seen, the choice is very large and if the knife is not done in order to decorate the collection, it is necessary to approach its equipment very responsibly.

Is the material of great importance? Huge. For example, a knife with a metal handle is hardly suitable for a tourist. It is too heavy for the campaign, and in the cold it will simply be impossible to take in hand. And the knives with a set handle from the skin or bark will not last the hunter, since after the first freshness of the game, blood will fall on such a hand, and after a few days the smell will be such that the knife will not want to take into hand. What is already talking about knives for throwing, where any handle can simply fly into pieces.

Similarly, the material and form of the handle is also chosen according to how the knife will be used. If this universal tool Tourist or hunter, then the form should be simple, without recesses under the fingers and the like of the excesses. So that the knife can be kept with different grips, and they were equally convenient to clean potatoes, open a cans, chop tree or repair equipment. If the door is going to pierce the doors, then, of course, the more on the handle there will be additional ledges for reliable retention, the better.

Now consider the most popular techniques of how to make a knife for a knife.

On the hunt, the knife is needed to seal the bruises for installation, cut bread to dinner yes, if lucky, to divide the extracted beast. Here, perhaps, all its functions. The main thing that hunting knife It was comfortable, I lay well in my hand, and the shape of the handle was not tired by the owner during operation. As far as the hunting knife is good, you can only find out in practice.

Any knife, including hunting, includes blade and handle. To fully independently make a hunting knife, which would fully satisfy your requests, in principle, you can. But it is unlikely to make sense to do, because for the manufacture of the blade it can be quite difficult to find steel suitable for quality, not to mention it at home.

In addition, there is a quite satisfactory range of high-quality blades. But here is the handle, being the same an important detail The knife, like the blade, is often at all complies with the requirements for it as a hunter-fisherman and an amateur hunter. But replace the knife handle having a high-quality and appropriate blade, at home is quite possible.

Production of solid handles for hunting knife.

Artistic handles - with cutouts under the fingers, a bend in the tail part and Garda are more likely to be interested in weapons collectors. The hunter is better to have a straight line, without frills and decor. The dimensions of the knife handle must be such that the knife is tight and confident in hand. Handle should be 3-3.5 cm long palm width.

With the correct grip, the ends of the middle, nameless fingers and the little finger should not touch the base of the big, and the ends of the index and large, on the contrary, should block each other slightly. But the final decision is made exclusively taking into account the individual addies of each hunter.

The handle can be worked from any rusties, but it is best to take the workpiece from. Moreover, from certain stem places. First of all, it is a thief from a comula, called a hopper, or a brush. It is permeated with sleeping kidneys, so a cross-cut pattern is manifested on a cross cut, like Karelian birch.

Secondly, a simple cap, a swivel grown on the trunk. Sleeping kidneys in it almost never happens, but the structure is beautiful, iridescent. Thirdly, the inside of the trunk, where the big bitter is departed from the core itself. Wood from these places is good and because the layers there are very small, and she herself is dense.

The workpiece before processing should be pretty dry in the shade. When she is circumcised and twisted, it can be connected to the blade. The blade should be continued in the form of a shank longer than the future handle, and the end of the shank is a thread for the fastening nut. First, it will be possible to change the handle and, secondly, to avoid transverse rivets, which are difficult to put, and do not always hold well, and the beauty does not add.

Before processing, the harvesting of the knife handle can be revealed in water and then give it thoroughly dry. It will change it (it will become darker), and it will be easier to handle. Finish the finish is better not lacquering (varnishing slides in hand), and the digestion of the workpiece in linen oil.

In a metal vessel, for example, in a large tin can or other dishes, it is necessary to pour linen oil so much that the workpiece in it freely swims. The jar must be heated on a sand bath. Oil must barely boiled. From the end of the workpiece at this time, air bubbles will be intense. This boiling oil fills the pores of wood. The procedure should last two-three hours, or even more.

We must not forget that layers in adjacent plates must be perpendicular. It is possible to miss their waterproof quick-drying glue. The last piece of Berestov must be pressing the nut through the metal plate of the corresponding form. The threaded part of the shank must be quite long. The fact is that, screwing the nut, you squeeze the entire set on the handle, and it is a little shortening.

As a result, it may be necessary to unscrew the nut several times, put additional pieces of bark and tighten it again. When the nut is pressed finally, it can be started to finish.

The last part of the Beresto is pressed with a nut through the metal plate of the desired form, while the shank must have a long threaded part. This is due to the fact that during the screwing of the nut, the compression of the entire set on the handle and at the same time its shortening is shocked.
