Remember the digging blade I asked about?

[blgoode]

I asked about what steel to use for a digger a few months back. I used 0-1 and put a cold blue finish on it. The customer knows that this still needs oiling and taken care of but here she is.

That's cool Brian. Looks very useful for all aspects around the camp. I think I'd rather take Danbo's avatar with me to be my camp digger.

Yowza!!! :O

Very nice Brian!
I like that big wide blade. J Nielson made a big bowie with a similar width blade for somebody as a railway clearing tool a while back: great minds must think alike
Is that the handle material you got from McMaster Carr?

Whoa Brian, that is one big bad blade! But I thought we were gonna get a performance report. <pout> I sure do like your handles, I think you have something very good going there. That's great work, you're a natural.

Now, let us know how well it holds up under actual digging!

Hey Dave,
I'll get some feedback from the user I hope. Might just have to make another and test it myself

 

[J. Neilson]

Whoa! There's a monster.

Monster is the right word! Looks like you could split CURLY grained fire wood with that! Yowza
