Does that mean Lasik for you?

Yes, but it was fun watching him swallow that anger. Fortunately his razor was not sharp yet!

I knew it was a reasonable request, but also knew you were justifiably annoyed. I truly felt bad about asking because you, like Bill and TC and James and Steve, were so focussed on your grinding. ...

Finally, Howard Clark explains structural changes in steel during heat treatment.

Three main videos finally uploaded. It only took a few days.
:aargh:

First one is Bruno explaining his finish grinding.

Wow!
How did you catch a moment when he was laughing?

There is one of Howard talking about it and one of Mike showing a bit of it in and out of the forge.

I learned that you cannot have a shop without blackboard. Howard was pretty clear on that!

There is a video of it. In another day or two it actually may have finished uploading onto YouTube.

Inside joke here, and I apologize for those who were not there, but your malaprop of "gender setup" was perfect for referencing Paco!

Randy and I have just crossed the George Bush Bridge, heading back to the land of Yankees.

Photos and videos will trickle out over the next few days. We are here till Monday and, in Randy's and my case, won't be home till very late on Tuesday night so some stuff won't come up here till...

Well, I've barely started packing yet. I'm still just gathering things into piles. I guess I'll be sitting on my hones!

Well, Benjamin is in Decorah and he's blonde...

Drive safely with that 170 pound anvil riding behind you.

Hey, we all have to put up with you.
:)
It's not too late yet. Maybe you still can finagle a ride somehow someway.

That was the plan, but neither of us won the PowerBall!

In the winter of 83/84 there was a 3 week stretch when the temperature hit at least -40 (F or C is the same at that point) every day. The coldest I recall seeing in that period was -48F. It was so...

I will be bringing my stereomicroscope, camera, and TV set-up and...

--my Mike Blue pattern welded steel billets

--some 1/4x1x48 1095 bar stock

--a random but sufficient assortment of hones...

I plan on bringing a decent array of hones, subject to limitations determined by Randy's car's suspension. If there is any particular hone that anyone is interested in seeing or trying, please let...

Good idea! I will bring mine as well. One billet is good and the other needs to be re-jiggered, so I can ask Mike for advice about that.

I had vowed that if I was not ready to make a razor...

Given that everyone has two names to keep straight, that really would help.

It would be easier if he brought it along on a trailer and donated it for the giveaway.

Well, in a pinch Charlie's forge should be able to serve as a cautery wand.

I've never used a belt that coarse. Would it cause less heat build-up?

Good luck finding O2 in the US. Maybe you could ask Bruno to bring some along on the plane!
