    LOL ... Just man up & start the next one... You knew what you were signing up for when you started this resto caper

    You've heard it already but... that is fantastic work

    I wouldn't have thought it possible to do much with what you started with

    The 2 large curves on the spine were done with a 5 inch grinder, the small curve in the middle was with a small grinding wheel in the dremmel and so was the reshaping on the tang and heel. The point was mainly done with a dremmel cut off wheel IIRC. I actually did all the grinding about 4 months ago but then was away from home for 3 months. And no, it doesn't involve jail time
