    Here is a few pics of the full hollow I went a little too far. The difference between success and failure was leaving enough material to hand sand. Mind you this a 3rd attempt at full hollow this thin. The next razor should be a success but we will see.

    There is still some layout dye that I didn’t thoroughly cleaned off. I may just leave it as is and clean up the tang and spine some then just shave with it to check my heat treat for edge retention. I always learn more from my mistakes.

    A checkering file. I use a file guide to get it started, once the first set of tracks is established you can move on down, registering on your file in the already established cuts. I think the size is 00 which is 20 lines per inch, iirc.

    I have my sights on a 9" 1° conical disk grinding surface now.

    What is the purpose of the conical wheel?

    It is used the same as a flat disc, but the bevel gives you clearance on the other side of the center.

    I'm in the process of putting a flat disc on the other side of the wheel.

    I'm doing this mainly for two reasons, I can have two different grits mounted, and having discs on both sides makes them effectively turning in opposite directions (picture grinding a flat grind knife edge up on either side).

    A third but less important reason is that I figured I may as well make this second disc flat to help evaluate the difference between flat and beveled and see if there are uses where flat is better. I can easily bevel it in the future if I need or want to.

    The 9" dual sanding disk/wheel rocks for general shop work. I have three different grits turning at the same time.
