-----WIP and what's on the bench thread ------

**harm** · 10-06-2009, 05:12 AM

check here for what i'm currently working on.
i'll start with fishmonger's blades.i was not well for the past 2 weeks so i didn't get much done on that,but i did mess around with the scales so i have some pics of those.
these are a part of a batch,and i forgot to take more pics

i'm re-grinding these blades at the moment so should have more pics soon.

the scales are profiled in the 1st pic.
2nd - i have shaped, bevelled and buffed the face of the scales.
now this might seem ass-backwards to some but i have learnt that it's best to profile the scales before the blade is nice and shiny and picks up "character".

NICE!

**harm** · 10-08-2009, 10:07 AM

thanks guys.
i ground the flats on all the blades,except the 1st from the left,it's a proto and i'm not sure what i want to do with it,but it will come to me.
i would have finished grinding the bevels but i had to take my father to the hospital,nothing too serious,but he's ok now.

thanks Semper708.
my father has an enlargened prostate,yesterday was very bad as it affected his bladder,blocked off the urethra.
he needs to have a procedure done,Tuesday we'll find out what exactly.

Sorry to hear of this Buddy!! Our prayers for Dad and that all goes well

**harm** · 10-16-2009, 11:12 AM

thanks Ricky.

i finished regrinding all the blades,put the scales on the utilities [1st 2 on the left] as those are machine finished.
i had to make up a harpoon [3 rd from left,birthday present for a guy from his wife],that's ready for ht.
i still haven't decided what i'm doing with the recurve [4th from left] so i haven't done anything with that.
