I taught a class on building slip-joint folders at the New England School of Metalwork. The school doesn't have a milling machine, so I found some methods of making a folder with simpler tools. I put together this step by step tutorial, as a handout for the students. This build is based on designing the knife on paper, then using the paper sketches as a pattern.
The link is dead for me. Anyone else having that issue or is it just me?
How about I just post the .pdf?
