Excellent work Fidelis :woot: You grind the blade The way I would centre line ect,
To answer one question here is one I made for a hilt washer copied from one I own,

As too secureing the grip I believe the whole handle would be glued to the tang, I have seen swords that have put the handle on with just a washer to keep it all together. They end up working loose, and if you imagine useing the sword in battle the last thing you want is movement in the hilt when you are fighting :dizzy:
The Pompeii locket and chape, most of the photos I have they are made around frames and the picture plates are put into them, they is one I have which is a picture plate locket that is wrapped around the side of the scabbard and the hangers are used too keep it in place.
Keep up the good wok look forward to seeing the finished sword :woot: :-D
Regards Brennivs :-D
