Awesome for a first one! Looks better than mine. Your blade grind is very nice. What do you have for a belt grinder? I'd hoped to get a forge running this summer, but that didn't happen--one of these days. I've got a bunch of .25 1084 and some .125 1080 that I've been itching to do something with. Just got to get a forge running for the heat treat. Oh, and I need a better belt grinder, or at least to mod my 2x42 for variable speed--it runs way too fast for good control.
Regards,
Michael
PS The bolster look nice, too. Did you pin it?
