Today I was bitten by a strange bug, a bug I have not seen for awhile, the FINISHING BUG! I went out to the garage where everything is stored and sort of organised things a bit and setup the grinder and drill press and stuff. STarted on a guard for a sword I have had for awhile now and WOW! Making fittings is FUN! Pictures in a minute!

overall shot and end detail

guard with tang

Handles are on and the epoxy is drying, pictures tommorrow!
