Thread: What are you working on?

I'll drop down to 220 and give it a go.

Maggards are having a sale!!

The boss was rooting around and found this little booger.



An 11/16 JR Torrey in sad shape. Looks like I'll give it a bit of a clean and see how it hones up.

There you go again enabling, Roy! And Bob, speaking of Torreys, I just finished up that identical blade in pearloid acrylic faux-tortoise shell scales with brass hardware. Tom had generously included a set of twin Torreys with a recent strop purchase, and I have been piddling with them off and on. Here are a couple of quick pics on the deck:


Fellas, it had been tool long. I had myself a grand time on a rainy Saturday in my shop yesterday, and finished it up today while cranking Waylon and Willie on the bluetooth. I love this Incudo acrylic from the British supplier Rothko and Frost. You guys should check them out if you don't already have them bookmarked-they have some really unique stuff: https://www.rothkoandfrost.com/mater...e%5B29%5D=1576
I've still got this one to do to complete the set; it will get silver hardware and the gray/smoke colored pearloid acrylic:

It's good to take a break from grading essays now and again!

Nice scales ScoutHikerDad! Thanks for the link, they've got some pretty wild patterns.

Rolodave: thanks for the little push on my Wosty. 220 and cork backer did the trick. I'm still not going to get all of the spit out, but I got a lot more than I thought I would.





I've got 6+ hours in and am pretty happy with where it's at. Time to start moving up the grits.

Lookin good, Jelly. 6+....wait till ya get done, then add um up. I put almost 25 hrs. into that last Wosty, and I cheated a bit with greaseless. Still...its all up to u, on how far u want to go. Some pitting, is just too deep and not worth chasing when hand sanding. Gonna look better than it did, though.

Very nicely done. Have my doubts my blade will clean up as nice as yours did and am keeping the original scales.

Are you sure that's not cell rot?

Nice scales A A Ron, you have some nice material stashed away.

Bob are you sure those old scales are Ok. (It appears tintin is faster than I)

Jelly the Wosty is coming around.
