How to make a DIY marking knife

 






















Tools and materials I propose:

Belt sander

Table saw

Trim router

Block plane

Foredom Woodcarving Kit

Tormek  honing compound

Buffing kit

Tormek T8 Sharpening System


In this video I use an old kitchen knife and a piece of mahogany wood, to make a marking tool for woodworking.  


I begun by applying layout fluid on an old kitchen knife blade. After drawing my design I cut it using my rotary tool. 


I then used a belt sander to establish my knife’s bevel. I decided to make a skew knife. Every now and then I dipped the knife in water to cool it down. 


I then buffed the knife with small buffing wheels and honing compound. 


Next I cut a piece of mahogany to size and used the router to make a pocket for the blade. 


I then epoxied the handle with the blade together. 


Finally I shaped the handle using my belt sander, a hand plane and hand sanding. 


I buffed the handle on my buffing wheel with carnauba wax. 


Finally I gave the knife a final sharpening on my Tormek system. 


And my little knife come out razor sharp and works really fine. But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
