Ps I have picked up the blaze belts earlier this week.

No problem, happy to make a few extra, let me know when you want to sort out money for the blaze belts.

Maybe we should start a thread just for retoother topics. I'm sure between Dale, Hiroller, and myself we should be able to help with retoothing a few saws.

Ray

Dale we should catch up .
Ray your right ,sounds like exciting hand saw times ahead .

I may have mentioned before that grinding the 15 degree side bevels on the 3mm chisels was a real PITA.

So here we go, side bevel grinding on the 3mm chisels is now finished. Next step is to grind the top 5 degree taper. (that's why there is layout stain on the top)

Honestly
Who is really going to use the 3mm chisels?

On reflection, I hope everyone finds them useful, but then again I probably have distorted my perspective on the matter.

Still a way to go with flattening, but progressing...

Which brings me to another question, does anyone want me to fit the handles? Or, would you prefer to fit them yourself?

None of the firmer chisels, skew chisels, or turning chisels were posted with fitted handles.

Ray

Still a way to go on flattening backs, and after some positive feedback on the handles, I will be fitting the handles.

Almost finished..

Thanks but don't bother fitting the handles for me!
I think I'll do them myself

Hi Ray,
Thanks for the offer re the handles but I'm all set up to do them when they arrive so there is no need to fit my chisel handles, that's a job I'm looking forward to doing.
How did you go flattening the backs and the 5 degree grind?
regards
Mick

Hi Mick, and Nick, No problem with handle fitting.

I was hoping to finish over Christmas, but kept getting interruptions. I'll be doing the 5 degree grind on the 3mm chisels over the weekend.

Ray

Almost back on track, I'll be posting some sets this week, and the balance next week, as each set is posted I will be sending PM's with the tracking numbers.

Sorry I was a bit premature with the last post. After going back over each set, and noticing some problems, I decided not to post.
I ended up regrinding some side bevels, and cleaning up some areas that I wasn't happy with. There are some things you just can't take shortcuts with.

Now I'm happy.

So back to sorting handles and packing again.

Finally.... the finishing line is in sight once again.
