A couple of progress pics

**Str8Raz0r** · 10-08-2011, 01:15 AM

As promised Jimbo.

Here is a couple of progress pics (first one is jus the piece or steel as it arrived) of the two custom blades I am working on.

I have also included a pic of my next blade project..........maybe

Both need some jimps and heat treat.

Any ideas or feedback would be appreciated

Stu

Edit: I tried to be a bit sneaky and post this one in the Down Under section, to limit too much exposure. Understandably the post has now been moved to here

. Anyway, thanks for looking.

Those are awesome! I'm diggin' the one with the curl.

I'm with Maxi,
the pigtail rocks ... looks like the beginnings of a real piece of art!

Nice! I really like those. Thanks for posting them!

I am jealous of those who can find the time and have the ability to create functional art from steel. Gorgeous.

Love the pigtail! I'll be interested to see how the "cut out" in the blade works, if you make it. The area of the blade below the cutout could flex when you hone it - or not. An interesting artistic experiment, however it turns out. Keep us informed!

You are moving on, thanks for the in progress shots. Those are cool looking designs.

The cut out was the ....."maybe". Would love to try it but I might be biting off more than I can chew.

Hey, it's got to be worth a try. If it works, you will be hailed as the next great thing. If it doesn't, well, I promise not to say I told you so. All you have to lose is about $4 US of steel and time. It would probably be more likely to work as a 1/4 hollow - maybe with an 8inch wheel? If you don't try it, maybe I will. It sure would look cool!

I doubt that I will be hailed the next great thing

There is nothing new under the sun unfortunately. I have seen something similar before. Alex Jacques has done most of the things that I have thought would be cool.

I will probably try it anyway.

Stay tuned
