Dec. 2012-Bubble Jig--The winner is Medicevans!

I have to say and even though I've been out of making knives for a bit I bought this back in it's early days and I have to say I still think it's an awesome jig. Now that I'm in the process of getting my shop set back up again I'm really only in this for the feather pattern billet. I think a feather pattern is about the sexiest one that can be done on a blade but I'm looking forward to also using Fred's jig as well again. For those who are interested in grinding steel and want to have great looking grind lines spring the cash and pick one up if you don't win one. Or if I win one I'll probably do a drawing for a jig anyway since I have one... So cheer me on you might get another shot at one soon! :D

Here is the billet being cleaved into two pieces. The last weld will be to put these two pieces back together.

Just pulled the billet out of the ferric chloride. I like it. Feather pattern is like rolling the dice, no guarantees.

Its 6 inches long 3/16 thick by 1 5/16th's wide.
