Thread: What to do while tempering (a 7/8 Frenchy work in progress)

I got two 8" choppers rough ground and HT'ed and in the oven for tempering and needed something to do. Here are the choppers:



Here's what I started:



After talking to Bob and Charlie at the Texas meet, I wanted to make one really badly. I gouged this out of a chunk of 1/4" thick Starrett O1. Now it's rough ground. It still needs a bit of refining (and a pin hole) before HT, but that's the point of a WIP thread!



More to come later this week (and some chopper updates if y'all want 'em!).
