Nicely done Ilija.
Couple a more on that 1x30 out of O1, and you'll be studying the earlier threads below about grinders. __________________ Carl Rechsteiner, Bladesmith Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild, Charter Member Knifemakers Guild, voting member Registered Master Artist - GA Council for the Arts C Rex Custom Knives Blade Show Table 6-H |
