 and YouTube videos that sum it better than I could, but here goes. If someone more knowledgeable wants to correct me, please do.

1. Find an OLD file. 
2. Leave it in a fire for a while, deep in the center. Let it cool overnight. DO NOT QUENCH IT. (note: I did this twice. YMMV.) This will anneal it, or remove the heat-treating the file manufacturer did.
3. Pick a design.  Wharncliffe, tanto, drop point, whatever will suit your purpose.
4. Clean up the file. It will most likely have a bunch of junk on it from the annealing.
5. Sketch the design onto the file. I used a welding markup pencil which rubbed off fairly easily, but worked okay. 
6. Angle grind the hell out of it. The grip was the hardest part of mine to cut out, but stay with it. Don't let the file get too hot, though. 
7. Use handheld files or a bench grinder to smooth edges first. This will allow you to manipulate the protoknife without getting metal splinters.
8. Use the bench grinder (or files) to put the bevel on. This is just the general edge, so don't worry about getting it too sharp or uniform. Don't let the file get too hot here, either.
9. Drill some holes for brass pins. 
10. Heat treat it. I'm going to use a blowtorch and some motor oil, but I've seen people use ovens and vegetable oil too. The key here it to heat it until it's nonmagnetic, let cool for a little, and quench in oil. You're supposed to to this a few times, I think.
11. Pin and glue the wood to the grip. Clamp and let dry for a while. 
12. Shape the handle with the Dremel.
13. Go to town with files and sandpaper. I'm going to go from 100 grit all the way to 4000 grit. This will (hopefully) give me a mirror finish.
14. Sharpen as you would any other knife.
15. Cut.Songs with various weighted ties...
2. Sonny Rollins. Everywhere Calypso.
6. Edith Piaf. La vie en rose. Ou peut-être je pourrais avoir choisi " Non, je ne regrette rien "
7. Manu Chao. Mi vida. Mi vida, "burbuja de jabon..." Y todo lo hizo un pajaro sencillo (Neruda).
8. Mariza. Locoura. Did I still subliminally understand Portuguese (fluent till 7 yrs old)?
Did my Brazilian nanny, Paula, sing fados or corimas?
sounded like this. "Ja faz tempo que eu sai de casa pra viver.... no mar."
10. Ministry. Psalm 69.
11. Sam & Dave. Soothe me. It does. Sam Cooke song...
12. Elvis Costello. Watching the detectives. For the lyrics.
E.g., "she's filing her nails, while they're draggin' the lake," "she pulls your eyes out with a face like a magnet"
but the original vinyl (Stiff Records) is what rocks me. Jamaican immigrants in Birmingham..
14. The Mekons. (Some times I feel like) Christian Fletcher. Punk to forever.
New album "Natural" is great (Charles Darwin). The band you would want for a month-long house party.
16. On the strip. Sonic Youth. some of the no wave worked.
17. Hurt. Johnny Cash. Open-minded guy. Great cover of a Trent Reznor Nine Inch Nails song.
18. Tom Ze. Defect 14: Xiquexique. Otimo!
("je ne regrette rien," though I suppose I could have retired early, if I had held onto it).
"just because the sky turned from gray into blue" " If every angel's terrible, then why do you welcome them?"

REPLY: I’ve made some changes to the text which will likely yield better results – AnthonyAll of us strive to have our own serene spaces and hope that our homes become that space. However, it’s quite hard to explain why sometimes, we just can't get that magical feeling that we long for. For most people, transforming a house into a haven that exudes serenity and relaxation can be very challenging. Even picking the right color of paint poses a challenge. Furthermore, the type of décor and furniture complicates the choice even more. Fortunately, your birth chart can help you lessen the number of trials and errors by providing signs about the things that will best complement your innermost design sensibilities.
According to astrologer Rebecca Gordon, the stars have something to say about the finishes, furnishings, and other hues that can distinguish you from others. Your sun sign represents your traits and other quirks that you often neglect when it comes to choosing home decors. If you’re fed up with mixing and matching and failing over and over again, perhaps you might consider what your birth chart tells you about your true cosmic nature. Let the stars guide you as you build your castle, where there is no boss but you.
Ruled by the planet Mars, Aries are naturally active and fiery. Your strongest qualities are your confidence and you always want to feel the action. Something that evokes power appeals to you and you find it easy to express yourself in a place that elicits the same atmosphere. According to Gordon, you need a home with bold interior designs. The most compatible colors are red, hot pink, gold, orange, and palette.
Ophira Edut, another astrologer from AstroTwins, added that an Aries person is naturally competitive. It is the reason why you would always seek a vibrant home where you feel alive.  You are the first sign in the zodiac; you are likely to reach the finish line first compared to others. It means that you’ll feel the urge to switch up your décor whenever new trends emerge. However, she also said that your thirst for something new can be cumbersome. Instead of remodeling, Ophira suggests that you create a smaller space in your home that’s easy to transform. It can be a mudroom, a workshop, or an outdoor garden.
Born under the sign of the bull, Gordon explains that Tauruses can easily get caught between two extremes. Because of your earth sign, you can either fall for feminine pastel shades of pink and blue or you’ll prefer deep colors like blues, greens, and browns. Whenever you’re in doubt, Gordon says that you’ll never go wrong in settling with a color palette with dominant off-whites or creams. Flower patterns also appeal to you, so complementing the color with pillows, rugs, and throws with the same subtle hints of colors would be a nice move.
You love to boast your sophisticated style so you have this inclination to check high-end furniture and goods. However, you won’t make a purchase unless you feel it’s practical to do so. Also, because you feel this constant tie to your ruling planet, getting heavy and square-ish pieces of furniture that are low to the ground will provide you with the sense of rootedness you’re looking for.
Youthful, lively, and flirtatious, nothing would appeal better to Geminis than colors and decors that evoke vibrancy and strong mental energy. According to Gordon, you always love the challenge of combining the old with the new. You also love to mix up prints and you’re pretty good at it. Since you’re naturally moody and you have unrivaled curiosity, your home must evoke variety. Your keys for social designs lay in the colors of green, lime green, orange, chartreuse, and canary.
Since you’re always up to the idea of experimenting, mixing modern with vintage, astrologer Edut suggests you choose lightweight furniture that can be moved easily. You have an ever-changing mood which can cause impromptu switching from time to time. She also added to consider brushed metal fixtures, transparent Lucite chairs, and subway tiles as these can help you turn your contrasting tastes work to your advantage.
Cancers love the feeling of being outdoors. However, you always consider your home as your safe haven when your vibrant energy runs out. It is the reason why you tend to seek balance in your living area. According to your natal chart, the key to ensure your haven will evoke the peace you crave is by settling on soft colors like whites, lavenders, silvers, Wedgewood blues, and vintage pastels. Contrasting bold colors can easily interrupt your serenity.
As a water sign, you are really sensitive, so astrologers suggest
