CurlyGeorge Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Good on you!! Now you know that you can do it. That is what practice does. It instills self confidence. Glad to hear that it took. Like the other guys said, when you get the blade working, take pics. We like pics. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 GREAT! Now go do it again---and again---and again! After a while it will seem easy and natural for you and you can start showing others how to do it---not to mention making *everything* out of it---knives, axes, door stops,...RR spikes, hammers, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
