I'm making a knife using a kit I bought at Woodcraft. I've already got the scales epoxied onto the tang and roughly cut. Now, I need to shape them using a belt sander. There also brass bins sticking out a little that need be sanded down.
Would I be allowed to shape them and sand down the pins at the guild? I'm a relatively new member and I know embedded metal in wood isn't allowed and epoxy could also be a problem so I want to be sure I'm following the rules and being safe at the guild.
If I can't do this at the guild, I may try a dremel and am also considering purchasing my own small benchtop belt sander.
Thanks!
