this is what the beater looked like. it was cheap and I wanted something to work on.
H.M. Darling 6/8
had to round the toe.....couldn't see on seller pic it had that issue....imagine that. at least I learned how to round and smooth one.
more buffing etc......put the scales on today and set the bevel. had to drill scales and my first time peening. went well. a little more file work and peening to make her look at least presentable.
cheap scales but I kinda like how she looks now. my diamond paste arrived today too......so I can complete my balsa strops in .5u .25u and .1u
education the hard way.
