Nice and looks quite functional too.

Very nice gift, and nice work. 👍
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

Looks to me like you are ready for more expensive steel!! That is a very fine looking piece of craftsmanship!

Looks to me like you are ready for more expensive steel!! That is a very fine looking piece of craftsmanship! I really want to get good at free hand grinding. Using a jig has been helpful, but has caused some epic failures and lots of extra work to fix. I'm only using a 2x42 grinder and it's FAST!

I started out on a craftsman 2x42 and yes it was fast. Switching to variable speed is a huge step up.

You know of course, that when grinding a blade you do not made a mistake. You are just starting on a new model. Grinding on a variety of machines will teach you a few things. But sharpening you blade will teach you even more.
