This is an updated version of the DVD "How to Build a Scale Release Automatic" that I released back in 2002. While most of my techniques have not changed, today's technology has allowed me to release a higher quality product. I originally put this video together because of the lack of information that is available in the area of building automatic knives. This video covers: The principle behind designing your own scale release auto The parts and tools used for making the knife The methods used to make and fit up all of the knife's parts And how to assemble the working knife Building a scale release auto is an advanced level knifemaking project. It helps to have some experience in building folding knives prior to starting this project. If you have made a lock-back folder, then you are well on your way to building a scale release auto. Because of the advanced nature of this project, this video does not cover: How to solder liners and bolsters How to grind the bevels and edge on the blade How to heat-treat the blade, lock-bar, and back And How to clean up the bolsters and scales (Running Time: 3 Hours 10 Minutes)
