Fred, the bubble jig arrived in today's mail. Very nice work. Looks like I'll be out in the smithy all day tomorrow... hee hee hee

My wife says I'm acting like a little kid. She may be right. :-)

Thanks for a great little tool.

I am interested in your feedback on this Dan. Work with it for a week and then let me know what you think.

I am a firm believer, but its guys like you, that are new at using it, that I want to get feedback from.

Some one mailed me and ask if I could post some pics showing the progression of the grind as the angle of the bubble was changed.

Hope this helps.

This shows the first grind @ 5.0 degrees; it is the light blue at the bottom of the blade. [I re sprayed the knife with lay out bluing before grinding with the 4.0 degree but after the 5.0 degree setting. The same picture shows the results of the 4.0 degree setting, it is the shiny area in the middle, above that has been untouched.

The 3.5 degree angle was used here.

This is the 3.0 degree setting.

I made a lot of steel shavings this day:)

As you can see on the large clip point at the bottom, the grinds intersect as you move up the blade. I would harden at this point.

Happy to answer any questions, Fred
