It totally makes sense now. I put a straight edge across the blade face and it clicked. Thanks Tom and Shaun, much appreciated.

Looking good, Eric. You're on your way now and probably have a sense of the time it will take to get where you want to. Doesn't seem so bad once you get a start on it. Funny about sanding your finger, I did the same to mine yesterday sanding a wedge for scales. Duh. Wasn't using a little jig, trying to just grip it on both ends.
Keep going, looking forward to seeing the progress!
Oh boy this will be an adventure for sure Tuzi. Now I have a grasp of what is actually going on it won't be so bad. Sad part is I have a like at least 3 more that will need this same treatment. But once you get going it's not too bad :) great write up btw, I remember following it after re reading it.
Looking great there Eric :tu
Watch them fingers, and now that you've got it figured out I'm loking forward to your success
Another thing to mention....Stay light at the end of the blade. I always tend to get that too thin as the roll drops off, the tendency to have it tilt causes it. Keep the roll flat up there.
Looking forward to more advise from Tuzi as this progresses.
He knows how to do it correctly. Anything I do is like an accident. ;)
That's what I'm hoping for Tom, an accident that looks good :) hopefully I got my accident out of the way last night with my finger tip. Out of all the monkey business with razors last night was the first actual cut from one. Good track record I guess.
Nice work fellas, its been a few days since I've looked in on the thread, found I was quite a few pages behind.!
I couldn't agree more Tuzi.
Yeah Eric, a Dremel is limited with what you can do with one so I agree with you & Tuzi. I have used mine for polishing sometimes, shortening a blade or taking some of the edge off but as I have always mentioned, if used wrong, it can have a very unpleasant outcome plus injury may occur. When using one, ya gotta keep in mind which way the tool is rotating.
In between hand sanding my W&B wedge, I started working on my W&B FBO. There were some ugly scratches just above the bevel, sanded those mostly out didntdidn't want to work that area too much. Other than that used mothers and white scotchbrite. Been using the white scotchbrite and polish quite a bit, it cleans nicely, doesn't scratch and doesnt effect the original finish.
