I'm curious as to edge holding for this blade as an indicator of success of heat treat, it's been a while now. I was wandering if Mike could update us yet about the time between honing sessions.

there she is... :)[/excellent stuff, build another razor please]

Congrats
The time does get scarcer now.
My lad is now 3.
Boy or a girl?

Even cooler,didn't think of that. Thanks.

I quite like the idea of putting a series of holes in the blade (different) cool!!!!
If all else fails it could become a nice frame back project?
:hmmm:

Ouch!!!!
Good sense of humour mike.
Did you grind these on a bench grinder?

:hmmm:

As a general rule, do edges that give the stone a hard time last any longer?
It seems to me as though harder edges should give more shaves before rehoning, guess its acheiving a balance and a matter...

Sorry Butch, confusing you with another member.

Shucks,

Thanks Mike for sharing, I'm sure this has encouraged some of us to have a go who otherwise may have shyed away, it's certainly given me...

Mike, seems to me it's spot on.
According to TZ it should look like satin, you shouldn't see anything that looks like sugar. This is why I think the coulor thing during ht can be a bit subjective....

Looking good, can't wait for scales.

I knew this would happen, where can I get a VDF and is there a typical type for these purposes. I have a general idea what they do, otherwise I don't know what VDF's are or how to hook them up.
Can...

I'm no electrician but was wandering if hooking up a dimmer switch into the line might be able to control the wheel speed, I know these grinders can use a no volt switch so they might turn off below...

Mike,
Been following this thread with some interest, Not sure if I've missed something.
Did you do your final grind after heat treat on a bench grinder, if so how how did that go?
Bob Allman tells...

Just out of curiosity guys, how thick is a nickel?, Brits wouldn't know.
I to am learning as this is my first. I've left on about 0.040", I fear it may be to thin

Nice reading this thread, I've just come accross it and have been going down the same route for past few months on and off. I'm using 1084 though.
