Thread: What are you working on?

Gawd, I did not read the quote, Roy.

I thought you were referring to outback's blade!

I apologize for my behavior!

Certainly you have a few decent blades sitting around?

Ain't everything worth fixing. Hope I have not pissed you off. You COULD come down here!

Nope... Didnt piss me off.
Thats why I bought the thing for in the first place. It was a wedge, and wanted the challenge.
The top of the spine has the worst pitting, and is irrelevant.
Its also why I bought the 220 and 400 Nani's.
You should understand "OUTBACK'S"
Philosophy by now [emoji38]

Hi
I have some Mothers and a variety of other abrasives.
I will give it a try after I see how it shaves.
No use putting time in on a bad blade.
Thanks

Well being an OUTBACK you should be more rough around the edges.
I was raised in both worlds. An educated redneck if you will.
I take this moment to applaud and dignify your manner of teaching.
The simple straight forward approach accompanied by the correct pictures and tips (wax paper to not stick CA).
This is but one example.
This type of teaching is similar to a Manual . A true tutorial.
Combined with a concise explanation that a novice could understand.
I was thinking Mike you post more pictures that me of projects.
Then it struck me. These posts will serve to educate for decades into the future.
I spend days in the library here. Your way of sharing is teaching.
How does that go...;.Now get back to work.
Your style is a great asset. I go to school on your posts daily.
That boat engine mechanic background is showing through.

Jonathan let me correct you on your terminology.
We are what is considered as HILLJACKS. We are a bit more refined than either a redneck, or hillbilly, but carry the characteristics of both.[emoji38]

Done on the 220. [emoji27]
Now to the 400.

You can see the cold shot near the spine, in the first pic.
And she lays flat on the stone now.

I'm not quite following you outback. What do you mean by the cold shot near the spine?

It's somthing that happens to some blades when their made.
Where the metal cooled or colder than the surrounding metal, and didn't come together properly.
It doesn't effect anything, just resembles a crack.
Here's a pic of another blade I have with a cold shot.
