I wouldn't call that bungling, my friend. :) TI and (probably) Whacker have access to a lot of equipment that those of us who make blades by hand don't have. Imagine being able to grind both sides of your blade at the same time with high-grit stones, while not having to worry about heat because of a constant flow of water running over the blade. That's heaven compared to freehanding it on a belt grinder. :)
A tutorial from your perspective would be great because you're learning and still have to think the process through; your actions aren't yet automatic. Once somebody gets good at something they tend to internalize a lot of the key information, and then it's harder to describe what you're doing. It becomes instinctual.
Regardless, excellent work.
