Thanks Steve. I appreciate the feedback on er.

No reefer issues here, but I too am dealing with a early fall flu or somethin.
Non drowsy Medication and a steady hand don't always coincide, hehe.

Naw Mike, the Mojo is there, just feeling terrible. It'll get better, beside, I'm trying to do what I can until my stomach starts churning & bubbling again..........
I woke up this morning, it is much cooler here so the summer is pretty much over with now & indoor projects move on.

Ha! Its upper 40s, raining, wind howling, furnace running in the house.

Even got the kerosene heater going while I'm in the man cave/work shop
Here's the temp in the shop.

I'd say summer has left..!!!

Finished honing and tested the WB. Really nice shave! Ended up going back to the norton4-8 and really lifted up the toe to work the heel into submission on the one side. Finally came in line.

Then up to the coti, then the escher, then a leather board with .25 diamond on it for 100, then bridal leather x100, and kanayama#3x100
Here's a pic of the backside showing the epoxy and a crack I created peening it I guess as it was not there before. ;(



You can see the colour difference of the repair, but not feel the contour difference at all. It feathered in really well which to me is more important at this point.
And here it is all honed up.


Bevel isn't as even as I'd like, and a few of the deepest gouges had to remain, but she cleaned up well and shaves very nicely.
Cheers.

X ellently done mike.
She looks good.
Sorry for the crack, may have happened while honing.
But it can be rerepaired.

All was going well , looking like I'll have to live with some pitting, then came that ugly sound......"CLICK"!!

Damit to hell....!!! I screamed.
Causing the nieghbors dogs to start barking.

Guess I'm in the right thread though. [emoji5]
At least the chip and pit are gone.
Just not as planned.
Hmm... ? What to do. "BIG" smile,
fat toe. Oh the horror..[emoji23] [emoji23]

Ouch man! That sux large.
