Winston Moy | Maker Knife Mods: CNC Machined Faceplate + Kydex Sheath - #149 @WinstonMakes | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
I love my Maker Knife, but as a maker I naturally want to tweak and personalize my experience with it. In this video, I'll go over how I designed, machined, and (poorly) anodized custom faceplates for my Maker Knife. I'll also show my process for creating a low cost Kydex sheath.

PS: The faceplates were machined back in mid 2019, but it didn't feel like a worthwhile/complete project to share until I had the sheath. That's why I reference some cnc lessons learned from months after the faceplates were made, regarding SFM. 1/4" cutters generally leave nicer surface finishes than smaller diameter tools.
