What sort of feedback were you looking for? No one is going to comment too much on a blank piece of steel. You asked for tips on improvement, for what? Improvement on the shape?Thats a personal thing. Nothing else done to it so how can we advise improvement when we don't know what you can do?

Perhaps folk are waiting for the next lot of pics as you progress through the making of it.

If i was to post up just a profile, (unless i was asking opinion on a new design) i fully expect the replies to either be non existent or along the lines of " Get off the internet, get off your bottom, get back in shed, and get some work done, chop chop"

also any idea what wood this guy is using

I can't be bothered to watch through it all as it's not very exciting but I would say a fruit wood. First thought was a poorly coloured Laburnum but would think a peach or plum now. Very hard to tell.

thanks for advice lol tried making jig for scandi grind (my favorite grind) tried tonight but isnt going all too well can any one post a pic on a jig they use for scandi on bench grinder?

Bench grinder? As in drystone bench grinder? The only way your getting a scandi with that is to hope its expensive and trade it in for a belt grinder You need to build i filing jig if you only have round grindstones and you want a scandi and use a file instead.

You can only do hollow grinds with anything circular. Filing jigs for flat stuff if you haven't a belt grinder. That belt grinder you linked to will do the job, but not quickly and you will struggle to mount a jig to it.

Jacklore dont use that according to their website
