I can understand that. I had a treatment today and two more to go. I do what I can but it takes a lot out of you. If I can make a drum full of charcoal this weekend I'll be ahead. You can beat this. Just don't overdo it too soon.

A forge welded face should work well. I thought you were down in your back. How've you been since your last surgery?

You're supposed to clean your shop?

@Jeremy Blohm did you harden the face? Let us know how you like using it. I've always liked the Viking anvils.

I have been using a 3x21 sander. Its slow enough you don't ruin things but faster than a file. I still use the filing jig to get correct angles.

What is the purpose of the hollow grind on the backside of the blade? Urasuki is it called?

I would like to see some of your work when you get this sorted out. I'm a fan of the single bevel knives. Amazing how sharp they can get. I also think a large radius platten would be best.

In that case I would think the 7447 pads would do the job. They are very fine grade. I use them to wash dishes and they leave a satin finish on my stainless pots. If you don't have some in the kitchen, you need to get some.

It's not you. He'll never know what he's missing. I feel sorry for people like that.

It would help if we would build bigger shops. My boss once told me your shop needs to be big enough you can't throw a skill saw all the way across it.

Chris, I don't think the scotchbrite is graded in grits but I would think fine or extra fine. Or, you could just use a higher grit paper.

Well, at least you don't have to dig through drawers when you need something.

I wonder how long those grindstones lasted. The video I posted shows several that look like they are waiting to be finished. One would last me a lifetime.

I just watched this one on Damascus barrels. Wow.

Adam, does this improve after a person quits?
