Kevs is the bottom one

the grind, i think its about 16 degrees, so on 3mm stock , i think its a slicer!!!

ok,..

i,m busy at work but got round to getting a fire on tonight,...

one bag of crushed coal, half a bag of charcoal and 10 minutes with some forced air later

this is Mojo's 2nd place little blade,....

And Kevs, in the flames

turned the air on again,...

not got a pic of the cherry red blades or the oil quench as i was on my own taking these and had to use both hands...

so i got one when theyd cooled.....

i havent moved the angle on the jig so ran the edges on the belt ,..just 4 or 5 passes on each side to give a little polish

i did this so i could see if they were bent, (theyre not!) and so i had an idication of their colour when they go in the oven for the temper,

which is where they are now,....

hoping to sharpen, polish and handle them both over the weekend for mondays post,....

we'll see what plans er indoors has got for me first,...

they look Fantastic mate!

 

[ex-member Raikey]

they look Fantastic mate!

i wonder if they have the leopard print effect like yours did?

i used fresh oil this time so we'll see when i polish them,

i also wonder if not polishing after HT would give a decent etchy kinda look??

 

[ex-member Raikey]

well had a quick polish and they have the leopard print effect!!,...

its quite a nice anique effect but i just wish i knew why it occurred,...

is it the forced air?....the oil?....the temperature i go to?...

ahh well....

it will polish out , but i wonder if Kev would like some of it left in for a quirk?,...

Kev????

 

[Whittler Kev]

Your call :You_Rock_. I'm just grateful for what's coming and really excited












(Now for the cheeky bit....do you do leather coverings as well?:togo

 

[DaveBromley]

i think you should leave them the way they are, they actually look forged i reckon if you can work out how you did it the guys on BB might be interested in a tutorial lol

Don't believe persistent King Stu is travelling to Hamburg to sell his kidneys to fund a new bench grinder!
