She just might pass for NOS, after the hones, Mike.
In actuality....this will be its first, true honing , if I remember right.

Nice thing is, the head of the jig swivels so I can do 10 strokes on one side, flip and do 10 strokes on the other. Sure would be cool if I can get a decent edge on this thing

That's a cool jig Andrew. Hope it works. Bet it will too.

My new 1k green hone arrived to-day! Happy to see they are making it in a normal size now instead of the 2 inch 'brick' from the past. I was worried I may need to raise my chair somehow! :)

Attempting to rejuvenate my little business for now, so no time for honing just yet. Cannot wait to try it out, however.

Hope there is some time for quiet honing next weekend! :D

Keep up the fine work, Gents!

Finshed the clean-up, on the RAUH, Graefrath.
Ha..! She cleaned up a real treat.
Will only need a touch-up, on the hones.

[QUOTE=outback;1607883]Four more on the bench.

The Wosty needs cleaned up, and bug bitten horn scales, repaired .

Yeah Machine gun, I also have one I would like to save the scales on. It's an old Mappins Shilling, before they were Mappin & Webb according to my Tweedale's Sheffield Directory.

I think those scales are interesting. Upside down lettering.
