There has been some discussion between the Stews and Mods. We might have an Amateur Class this year, for first time GD Modders. There might also be a prize awarded.....just sayin. Details will be available in 3 days!
Start your grinders! Gold Dollar Mod Competition starts May 1st!

I'm in if I can get the garage cleaned out.
I think we heard that excuse last year, Derek!
I could really care less about a prize, but I like the idea of a beginner class. I just know I can't even come close to what mycarver, seraphim and a few others put out.

Dibs on your prize if you win.I could really care less about a prize, but I like the idea of a beginner class. I just know I can't even come close to what mycarver, seraphim and a few others put out.
That would be fair considering how I am able to even enter.Dibs on your prize if you win.

...lol, true, but this is a new place, so technically a new excuse. Still unpacking and the garage is the last step.

Tomorrow is the day! Going to put mine on a stone tonight to see how straight it is or isn't. Also have to dig out my calipers. I'm going to at least pretend like I've paid attention to the pro's and some actually sank in.

So, how straight was the blade?Tomorrow is the day! Going to put mine on a stone tonight to see how straight it is or isn't. Also have to dig out my calipers. I'm going to at least pretend like I've paid attention to the pro's and some actually sank in.
Little issue at the toe and heel. Also one spot in the middle of the spine that almost doesn't contact the stone.
The heel issue is within the part I want to grind out. The other two I believe I can fix pretty easily when I thin the spine.

Good deal. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
Hardwood scales with a white oak wedge, thinned down to 5.5mm on a 18.3mm blade, giving a bevel angle of 17.29 deg. This was a custom I made for a friend in 'payment' for son n.o.s old spice aftershave and talc, just thought you all might like to see it!
Well?!?!?!?!
Sweet! I just modded my first GD66, but nothing like that! I'll have to get some more experience, creativity and courage for blade mods
Here's my first mod GD66 I shaved with this a.m. Good shave! Now I have to develop some technique and skill for next year!
