Thread: Like watching a dying Galápagos tortoise

This one was sitting for quite a while and today I finally found some extra time to spend on it. I started with a good old hand sanding treatment with 400 grit, but pretty soon I moved to the bench grinder to fasten things up. After I was quite pleased with the results I returned to the hand sanding...until...I....found....THIS!



I wish I wouldn't ever seen it and everything was much better right now...I don't know if it was there all the time and I just "revealed" it, or accidently made it myself by heating the blade too much with the power tool and by that causing the metal to fail.
I stopped everything and start to wonder if it's still worth the effort, though I think I know the inevitable answer I thought maybe, just maybe there's still a glimmer of hope for this one, what do you think?
