    Yeah, thanks!

    And I trust he will.

    ...and sorry for digressing & taking over the grinding thread a few minutes. Move along....nothing more to see here!

    ....
    54 seconds into this vid you will see what I am talking about.

    Hopefully I am making sense?

    Makes a lot of sense.
    Do look at the same video at about 1:01 where
    the grind is finished on a single wheel with water.

    Some folk use a belt sander to the same end.

    But do not jump to the "re-grind" end game.
    That is a last resort.
    An expert restorer can give you advice and
    options...

    In the photo I cannot tell if the grinding of the
    edge is more than ugly.

    Perhaps a run through tumblers, polish, oil and
    seal in a glass case that can be mounted on the
    wall.
