Getting Sharper

Well, I'm here in Oregon, and I certainly do not miss these rainy, gray skies. As I was telling you about in this post, I flew out here to make - of all things - a knife.
I just wanted to check in with a few initial progress shots.

This was the process to make a template for the knife.....

Getting the design figured out












Transferring to a template material









Rough cut on the bandsaw









Finishing on a belt grinder








Template finished.







Ok, so these steps weren't incredibly exciting... for me to do or for you to look at. I'll try to get some action shots for the next post!
