Please forgive me ignorance, but how do you get pieces that thin for the lamination? I'd love to make some handles like those.

Dave, you should be able to cut the lamination pieces either on the band saw or on the table saw.  If I need two or more the same thickness I might attach them to a carrier board and run them thru the belt sander.

Really nice work Jim.

I made one before from TSC discount bens and just cut off the plastic handles and made wooden ones.

The guys would like to make several for gifts for there wife's and for themselves but I just can not afford them.  Rocklers are way out of the budget and the only one close is PSI for 5.95 or 4.95

but with either one if I have to buy 50+ it just gets to much $$
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

Thank you Arlin.  I think if you're patient the Rockler one does go one sale for $5 occasionally.

You have seen his sets of joiner's mallets, gun sales, and flat rate boxes of veneer in SnS.

I see that Woodcraft also sells veneer.

Dave, I have thousands of board feet in 1/8", 1/4", and 1/2" in exotics and domestics. Text or call me and let me know what you want.
