FYI, Jerry. That's what they look like after the repairs and sanding. They will be in oil till Friday or Saturday.
As for the blade, its had quite a bit done to it already, but I might do a little more to the blade face ...maybe. Its got that unfinished look, about it. Seems it had a lot of rust and pits at one time, and someone got tired of screwing with it. As for collars...dunno yet.
