I like these WIP can't wait to see more.

 

[EScott]

Looking forward to seeing the progression.

 

[Jon Brand]

I love the invisible hammer!

 

[BladeScout]

Thats some heavy metal in that first pic..., but there is some grinning apparition in the left hand corner

A damascus blade made with the aid of an invisible hammer - doesnt get much better than that.

Look forward to seeing the progress.

Exemplary work....

 

[Jason Fry]

This picture is impressive to me. Such tight fit, clean plunges, crisp edges. It takes attention to detail and quality tooling to pull that off... Well done!

 

[keithf]

Have to mirror what Jason has said here. WOW!
Cheers Keith

With good file and a candle, we adjust everything we want!
Just take the time!
