the big chief 3,099 Posted June 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 well I made a right pigs ear of the bevels on the bottom knife that was my 1st go in years the 2nd one is better I guess I need to buy some more steel and practice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GruffaloGriff 1,859 Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) That's what it's all about live & learn, and strive to better next time. Saying that they don't look that bad Chief, could finish up the bevels with a hand file? Actually i prefer a tool that doesn't look like a show piece, you can use it the way it is meant to be used (and some ways it isn't) and not worry about messing up the shiny finish. If you chip the blade, big deal, just lash it back on the grinder again. Edited June 14, 2015 by GruffaloGriff 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GruffaloGriff 1,859 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 i will make a jig for it then i will get them right Jigs are always a good idea for accuracy, sometimes takes more time to make a jig than to do the job but time worthwhile spent IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the big chief 3,099 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I am only making a simple jig and just clamp the blade on I just had a look at my grinder and the belt was not in line I have sorted that out so after I take the pups for a walk I will go back and have a play and see what happens just need some more steel I got mine as a kit off ebay but could do with a cheaper place tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
