Warped Blank While Shaping..

[Tim1020]

Hello everyone! New member and this is my first post, I have just gotten into knife making and ordered some 1/8" 1095 flat stock from Jantz. I started grinding out my shape on my belt sander using 50 grit, I was cooling it off with a bucket of water every so often and was trying to take my time while grinding out the shape.. Well, as I was just about done with a rough grind just to get a general shape I looked at the straightness and it was slightly warped.

Is there any way to correct this?

Is there any way to prevent this in the future?

Not sure what I did wrong as I am new to this, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks, Tim

Hit the triangle in the corner of your post and ask a mod to move this to Shoptalk. The guys there will be able to help you. Good luck!
