I just finished this one, I still need to hone it.
5/8 W&B restored to original. New brass pins and washers, and I put in new brass thrust washers as well as a pivot sleeve.

It's working out pretty well. I'm still trying to find places for everything, but I like having it all in one place.

Very nice Eric!
I've been wondering what you've been up to and how the new shop was working for you!

Excellent job.
Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

Really nice. I like that it still looks its age and restored at the same time. Really well done.

I forgot to mention that in my OP... After I polished it to mirror, I gave it a heavy coat of Birchwood Casey Perma-Blue and then after it dried, buffed again with white rouge. This left a very mild darkening of the steel, much like a light age patina. The darkening is so mild that you barely notice it. Too dark and it looks done on purpose. Originally Posted by Str8Raz0r
