Hello again,
i started another project that will enable me to do more projects, scraping in a precision straight edge. it's dimensions are 2 9/16" wide x 15" long x 3/4" thick!
the straight edge has a 60* dovetail on one side, for use as a reference when scraping dovetails.
A member, John York, graciously offered me a great deal on a cast iron straight edge blank!!!!
i took him up on it- it really was an excellent deal!!!
i took Richard King's class in oakland in 2013, John was in the class but had been scraping long before i met him.
He's a great guy and has a mind strong as a steel trap !
he really knows his craft and he's a really good man.
i did an initial scrape and stoning of the straight edge before putting it on my surface plate to get the initial blue up.
about 10 cycles in...
