Let the belt do the work with little pressure so you can control the heat build up. Sandind belts seem to have less heat build up compared to stones.

I touch the blade to the palm of my hand often and if it is getting to warm to the touch put it in the ice water. (You can control the shape of a streight or curved blade easly this way). The end of the blade can turn blue in a heart beat because the metal is so thin there so check the temp on your hand often.

This is something that has worked out for me when using motor grinding on tool steel.

Do you have any preferences on shaving bench designs.

Glad to see things are shaping up. I told you it takes some time to get these wounderful tools back to life but once there its easy to keep them honed. Usually I can use the strop three or four times before I have to go back to the stones.

If you can it would be great to see a coupld pictures of your new treasures.

Planemaker,

Still learning how to get around in this web so don't know how to reply to two or more in one reply.

As to Saw Horse Brian Boggs has come up with a real nice one. One of the instructors at the college I am attending has built one for the Windsor chair class to use and it makes the work go faster than when I use a bench vice. Brian gave one to Sam Maloof on a visit to the school about a year and a have back. I saw it in his shop on a visit last year. (hour and half drive from my house).

The saw horse was featured in Fine Woodworking issue #139.

Visit Brians web for a look at the horse.

Look in ARTICLES
Master Class: New Bread of Shaving Horse

I contacted Lie-Lielsen before they were offering the horse for sale and they sent me a pdf file of the article. I found it in my stash of stuff but don't know how to link it into the blog. When I figure it out I will send it.
