I got it all polished and added some nice hardware. Now this is more my caliber of workIt looks kind of rough right now, but we are going to polish it up to make it prettier. I am going to try silver soldering some blades. I have read and heard that silver soldering is as good as the welding. I don't know but will soon find out.
From the end you can see the springs and nylon spacers
The photo doesn't do it proper justice. T%his thing is really shiny ( and I like shiny )
Tomorrow I will be making the blade beveling fixture. It is really simple.
