i spent some time getting my hands dirty with this frame-back.
and then my first attempt at peen-ing the pins was pretty good. After watching all of the videos and reading the threads, i could "visualize" all of the little comments and tips that everyone talks about.. really proud of myself right now!
I need better lighting, darn shadows and crappy droid camera function...
it's a fingerprint magnet now!
Looks like you did a fine job! That rascal should be a great shaver...I'm personally fond of framebacks. If you haven't gotten to honing yet, I'm sure we can work something affordable out (shipping) if you will contact me via PM.
thanks, i have been practicing my honing, but I probably could use a fresh comparison. Thanks PM probably incoming soon.Quote:

Awesome job! It looks great, and good pinning job as well. What progression did u use for the blade to get it cleaned up?
A fine work! You should be proud. Looks fantastic! Now get Shooter to hone it and.....Shave with it! :) Thats a nice offer!
+1, you should be proud. Thats quite a transformation.
Grant.
thanks, i started with some 60 grit for some of the bad pitting ending up with deep scratches, and then moved to 220, 500,800,1000,1200,1500,2000 followed by mag polish...Quote:

Look's great! Let us know how it works out as a shaver.
I had shaved on it unrestored (honed up myself a couple of weeks ago). It shaves very nicely although i think it needs a more experienced honer to get a better edge with the right tools.Quote:
