More RSO s and away I go.
I got up this morning and a few commitments cancelled , Yeeaahhhhhh!
So I got 2 bars of O1 yesterday and put some Dykem on em and started scratching away this morning. I asked for some design help from my friends some of which may be beyond my capabilities right now but I'll see what I can do :<0) Love a challenge really.
So far I got these blanks carved out and have 3 more to do.
I don't like firing up the forge and certainly not the new oven without enough testing material to justify the cost. Maybe I am asking for trouble but with all the good advice I have gotten I am betting at least half of these will turn out okay.
Be Back later as things progress.Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

End of the day shot, more tomorrow.
Tangs are still fat and I am sneaking up on the other details. I put a 1/16 sway in the spine of the 1 on top and the material is 1" wide soooooo... If I decide to make 8/8 blades or bigger I will have to fire the forge tomorrow and pound the edge out before I hollow anymore blades or make any more sways. As it is they will be 7/8 if I don't. I already drilled in the pivot holes. I may make 3 wider tomorrow before I continue with the grinding.
Then again I may nap, watch football, and visit with friends :<0)Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
