Looks real good; nice tutorial.

So you drilled an oversized hole for the curved tang and that worked OK? Any fill in there (cutler's resin etc?)

thanks rich. the tang hole was drilled first with a 1/8th bit. i drilled half from the bottom and half way from the top. i drew a center line across the face of the handle and using a drywall cutter for my dremel i enlarged the hole as needed till i could tap the handle on and off. it does have a bit of epoxy in it, but very little, it was a pretty tight fit.
