The stars must be aligned. It’s a beautiful November day in central Ohio and I’m out back grinding blades. These two are probably my most consistent rough grinds I’ve ever done. Now I know they pale in comparison to a lot of others work, but I’m excited so needed to share.
Steel - 80 CRV2. 4” Hunter
Free hand grind on 2x42 single speed(cheap)
First blades that I did not use push stick while grinding bevel. Why it took so long, don’t know, but won’t be using it again, except when rough shaping blade after cutting stock.
Suggestions/comments always welcome.

I'm trying something with this guard , so far so good

MagnaCut and Gcarta

 

[David Mary]

Dremel. Now to assemble and glue, then find something else to grind while that cures…

 

[David Mary]

GCarta. Might as well grind a pillow.

 

[David Mary]

Oh snap the more pillow dust that builds up around the grinder the more current gets zapped through my fingers!

Shop vac!!!!

Lovin' that spine, a few more nicks and it would look like the pattern on a diamond back snake slithering up there!

 

[David Mary]

Interesting, I didn’t know that!

Now to sand the handle and grab a toothpick.

did you put wax on the parts where you don't want the epoxy?

 

[Hengelo_77]

Just a nice saturday in the workshop.
A shiny false edge and a shiny rounded spine

 

[David Mary]

did you put wax on the parts where you don't want the epoxy?

Don’t use epoxy. Or wax. Gorilla Glue white. I cut off the squeeze out with my trusty putty knife, one of the most used and versatile tools in my shop.

This one’s next. And that’s the toothpick I used to dig the glue out of the file work. It is a MagnaCut toothpick, from a knife project that changed designs after the blank was already in the shop and heat treated.

 

[navman]

That fireworks looks great! Try using some epoxy die to color the epoxy and then you don't need to worry about picking glue out.

 

[David Mary]

Thank you for the kind words!

Have to say goodbye to these two today.
