Thread: A Restorer's Dream Come True?

Here are a few pix. The first two are of the Frederick Reynolds as I received it. The the 3rd is the F.R. after regrinding, and the 4th is the F.R. and a G. Crookes 1/4 I reground today, as well. They're not quite finished, but I'll wait until I get some handles made before doing any more polishing. It looks like they're a lot more concave than they were originally, but really they aren't (much). The just don't have any hone wear now, and I thinned out the edge a bit. They'll still shave like a 1/4 hollow wedge(because they are), but they'll be easier to hone for a while, and won't have that really wide edge bevel. I'm pretty limited as to what I can regrind right now (6/8 and 7/8 wedges, because the concave matches the size wheel I have atm) , but I'm saving up for a new grinder, so perhaps in the future, I can regrind most anything, as well as make my own. (Thanks Bill for throwing down the gauntlet )As it is right now, they have a 600 grit finish on. And this is the post I broke 1000 on.
