In this article, we will deal with you and learn how to make a wooden poterbit. Let's start.
Preparation for the creation of a krambita
To begin with, we will understand what a poterbite is a kind of knife with a curved blade and sharpening in the inner side of the knife, usually hold the cerambiton inverse grip, traveled index or middle finger into a round hole on the handle.
- The classic version of the Cerambit is a steel blade and a handmade of solid wood, which is performed for the strength of the knife itself. As a rule, the sheaths are performed from wood or rigid skin, less often of plastic.
- A safer version of the knife can be made independently made of wood. You can make a perambitis both from plywood and from a soft tree that can be treated: Lipa, acacia, fruit species of trees. To do this, you will need a tool, plywood or tree, as well as some skill and patience.
- First you need to find a Kerambita model in the network that you like most, choose the desired scale, placing the picture on the sheet so that it is convenient to cut. (In the network now you can find templates of different models), you can create a sketch on your own on a pencil sheet.
- After the sketch is printed, it must be carefully cut observing all the pattern details. It is necessary to duplicate the sketch, but in the second version, cut only handle.
- You still need a plywood 5-7 mm to work, you can also use boards from old vegetable boxes, or an apple tree board, acacia or pear - 7-10 mm thick.
- The tree needs to be chosen out and not raw, do this in order to ultimately the product has not concerned over time.
Creating a wooden knife
So, you will need:
- Handsman on wood, jigsaw on wood or electrolybiz
- Drill
- Natural paper for sanding parts m 20- or zero, and more abrasive for rough work p 80, p 100
- Glue for wood, suit "moment-carpentry"
- Visits for fastening parts when coding
- Pencil, marker, ruler or meter
- Paper scissors and stationery knife
Actions:
- On a sheet of plywood in 5 mm, we place a sketch, we supply all the details neatly marker or pencil along the contour. Place stencils better from the edge of the plywood sheet, it will be more convenient to cut.
- Then it is necessary to circle two parts of the handle considering the left and right side of the product. Two parts of the handle are shown without a round hole.
- Carefully cut out drawn items. To do the round hole in the central part of the handle, it is necessary to drill in the center a small pass-through hole of the drill, we produce the jigsaw cloth through a drilled hole and cut the circle.
- Sand all the details at the beginning of a rough skin, after passing the zero. Much attention to the round hole.
- It is necessary to reduce the part of the handle on the central part, this is done so that the thickness of the knife handle is not too big. After fitting all parts, we apply the glue on both parts of the handle left and right, tightly fasten them, immediately need to remove the excess glue with a rag. After that, we put glued parts in vice.
- After complete drying of the adhesive, it is necessary to spend the rubberbite with sandpaper, check for smoothness. And the rubberbite from the tree is ready for your hands.
Thus, with your own hands, you created a beautiful wooden knife. You can cover it with varnish and make a beautiful decoration on the handle.
