That is so awesome! I wish I could do something like that, I would get so frustrated and lose my patients. Good job!

I would be more afraid of loosing a finger! !!!!!!!!!

Nah, not with these simple tools. Patience is a must though without a 2"x72" grinder. If you rush it, you'll mess something up for sure, so you have to go slow. You can always take more material off, you can't put it back.

I'm hoping I can get good enough in the next couple of months to start selling them. I'll be making a Kydex sheath to go with it too. Just need to think of a name/logo so I can etch my maker's mark on there and you guys can buy these things to pay for my tuition. HA!

again that whole patients thing. One day I'll have it, my son is teaching it to me and rather quickly. Great job again sir!
