Got done with filing the bevels today.
Have learned a lot of things about filing I never knew.
Never really used a file before.
Only to sharpen saws and little deburring or relieving work.
Kind of scared to heat and quench this blade. It started at .058,
It is flat ground with about .25" full width spine. Slight distal taper
in the first 1/3 of the blade.
Very easy to bend. I'm afraid It will be a pretzel when it gets hot, or cooled.
Going to rig up something to clamp it in after quench.
No big expectations on this first try. But I have a bit of time in it, and
it's not too ugly. Just a little crude. Be great to end up with something
when it's done.
Get some
