    I was thinking about a plaid dress, but it might get caught in the wheel

    No, haha, I am getting a heavy duty apron, and of course safety glasses, dustmask etc. etc.

    Looking good. You may want to add a tool rest perhaps.
    Btw, it's a good idea to have a bucket of water standingunderneath the wheel to catch the debris. you'd be surprised about the amount of debris you'll have in that bucket at the end of a day of grinding.

    More razor arrived for me to get started on. I am really excited about the Wade & Butcher and the Boker.

    I am going to make a toolrest. Have to get the parts to make it. Also going to build a platten setup As for the water bucket, already have it, as well as a high-powered vacuum cleaner

    The platten is a must for sure, the bucket is definitely a nice feature. Personally I don't use a tool rest, they can be nice for some things but I would never use it for the actual hollowing of a blade. It just restricts you too much, I think it can be a handicap.

    Wel, I am going to make one, I need one for the platten for sure to get good 90degree angles when grinding. The hollow grinding will be done free hand.


    Finally had the chance to get some steel Couple of meters of O1 Toolsteel

    The first part of today's work: finished blades. I took the blades which I posted last week, and then ground them final and cleaned them up.

    Second part of today: shaping the choppers, chiseling in my marks and heat treating.
    I spark tested the edges to check if they had hardened successfully.

    And the 3d and final piece of today. I forged 4 kamisori blanks from bar stock, and I forged another big humpback from the leftover stock of the other 2. Originally I was going to make it a long monkey tail as well. Then I overheated accidentally, and when I pulled it out of the fire, the tang was noticeably shorter. That one is going to be a sheffield style humpback instead. Perhaps with an elongated straight tail. We'll see what happens whan I start shaping.

    The kamisori style blades will have a symmetrical grind. They still look rough of course. The bottom one is longer, simply because that was the end piece of my stock. Too long for a kamisori style razor I think. The one with the 2 nubs is the 2nd one I hammered out. That was the point where my arm turned numb and I had trouble even lifting the hammer so my control was lacking.

    Hammering out this style blade is good hammering practice, and good learning exercise in getting to know the anvil.
