hi, does anybody have any advice to offer with regard to the making of the handle wedge? as they are quite small and thin bits of material. i'm typing gently with my left index finger as i just linished it:icon_mad: and lost the wedge too boot.
As an alternative to Jamie's suggestion and if you are using a disk or belt sander, I suggest a piece of double sided tape - I find you can control the wedge shape quite easily, especially on the disc as you have more control. This is particlarly effective if you are using a small piece of bone, horn or stone etc. Jamie's method is obviously better for larger pieces of material.
