Thread: Need advice on bevel setting/restoring

Nice finish on that blade.

These EZ lap Diamond stick, are what I use for reshaping heels, these are inexpensive, come in variety of grits, and you can totally control how much and how fast you remove material.

I have used the DMT and low grit stones, but you really can’t see what you are doing as you grind off steel. Using these diamond sticks, you rest the spine on the bench, I use a piece of craft foam to keep it from dancing and slowly remove exactly as much as you need. The blade is pretty thin here so the fine grit (about 600) works fine here).

These little sticks are very hand around the shop and you will find a dozen other uses for them.

Oh that's a great tip, I will be visiting a great tool shop this saturday and I believe they sell these things there. Thnx.

That being said, I've just drawn some scale designs:


So shoot me .

Yesterday me and my dad visited a woodworkers shop that was loaded with really manly equipement. My dad bought a brand new bench scroll saw and I got myself a set of diamond files.
After that we went home and I made some scales out of pear-wood, sanded of a bit of the heel and this is the result so far.

I now have to wait until my buffer is repaired to finish the blade, after that it is pinning the blade and oil the wood (already got 1 layer, especially between the wedge parts). Next time I'm gonna try micro bolts and screws, I think it makes it all a lot easier.
