How do you strop that beast?!


Looks great!!!

Balanced on forefinger...

You know I was just thinking of that the other day. lol

My guess is you just need to lift it to flip it.

I used something similar to a paddle strop, except I have leather attached to magnetic sheet which is then placed on the metal plate you can see in the pics of my workbench.

Leather bootie for the false blade?

Phil

Naw. Guy it's going to doesn't have a sissy bone in his body.

Even the tiniest bit of air getting into the foil wrap around the blade while it cooks at 1,900 degrees can cause discoloration that can be a pain to remove.

A little elbow grease, a tiny bit of luck, and a Bud Lite Lime and we get somewhat closer...

Absolutely stunning Bill. It reminds me of walking around the crypts in Temple Church in London.

There's apparently some code about the feet. If they are crossed it means one thing and if they are on top of an animal it means something else.

I purposely didn't keep checking this thread so I could be wowed when it was all done. I was not disappointed. Great work Bill. The guy that buys that from you is a very lucky man.

John -

If the legs were crossed at the ankles, then the person interred there was a crusader. If not. they weren't.
