Nice work, Steve! What an improvement! As yours appeared to also, as evidenced by the upswept secondary bevel at the tip in the before picture, mine had profound issues there.

To really fix the tip on mine, I think, would require losing about a mm of blade length and probably reshaping the angle of the spine from the dip to the tip, lest it start to look like a sheepsfoot!! 😱

I think I'll leave it as is for now and hope that a healthy patina develops to blend the contrasting areas on the blade.

I reckon that, eventually, everything sharpens out.

Thanks, the before picture was even after I tried to straighten it out as best I could just by sharpening.

My best friend will grow a bunch of starters from seeds and then share them around with everyone for their gardens. A few years ago I think we got three tomato plants from him. He contacted me a few weeks ago and asked how many we'd like this year, and I told him to give me all the tomatoes he can - put me last on the list and I'll take whatever's left over. I was kind of hoping we'd get ten or so plants - we have plans to build a bunch of good raised beds for next year, but we still have the kind of crappy raised bed from last year, and we could get about ten in there.

He showed up with sixty plants - tomatoes, peppers, squash, basil...

So Dawn and I spent all our spare time over the last couple of weeks (which wasn't much because we've been kind of buried beneath work and church commitments) clearing a spot and building the 2026 garden beds. I've moved four cubic yards (that's about three cubic meters for my metric friends, or two full-sized truckbeds-full) of redwood mulch. I have another two cubic yards sitting in my truck right now. This will finish up the bed nearest the camera in this pic and cover up the paper on the ground all around them. Then I need to put two to four yards of topsoil in the beds, then we can actually plant the plants which are currently living on my sun porch - hopefully all done next weekend. With them going in the ground so late I'm not if we'll actually get much produce, but hey, we're way ahead on our 2026 plan.

The GL-24 was around for the whole thing, and was helpful in digging a few redwood splinters out.

As a follow up to the above post, we finished building the beds, filled 'em up with redwood mulch and good raised bed soil, and got the plants plunked into the ground. I rednecked together the little table in the middle from scrap wood left over from making the planters.

Cold walk this morning due to the wind, even had to put my beard up in a man bun:rolleyes: So I went down 1 of the bush tracks this morning.
The bush shots I show you to gauge the day, you used to be able to walk tracks to the hospital nothing in between. This is what you get when you goL about 200 metres in. Last year they started on a 4 lane freeway by pass running north to South, not finished till the end of next year maybe. even compulsory acquired homes for the start of the by pass.
