I think these pictures speak for themselves.
The pinning went well. A little shaky at first due to not having a ball pein hammer, but I went to harbor freight and remedied that today. By the way, a spoon doesn't work to pein pins. It may work to tighten loose ones, but it sure doesn't work to make the original peins.
The wedge looks stupid and I hate it, but I live and I'll learn. I still have to seal it with poly.
I had a couple of runs on the scales where poly leaked over the front from the back, so I had to sand it off. It dulled the Epoxy some, so I'll fix it with poly as well.
Once I have a little time, I plan on taking some proper pictures of it in a light box and with a better camera than my iPhone cam.
The blade needs some work polishing too. I need to go over it a little bit with 1000 grit and Mother's polish.
The blade stays put wherever I leave it. I'm excited that it works like that!
So, how'd I do?mjhammer likes this.
