Getting the Mill set up and the bench rearranged. I've got a screwless vise, collets, and end mills on the way, they should be here day after tomorrow.
I need to make sure my tang is the right length and thickness for the frame and get this blade profiled.
There's quite a few ways to secure the tang to the frame, threaded tangs, finials, welding, soldering, brazing, staking, pinning, liners, hidden pins, lions and tigers and bears. I'm not gonna try to reinvent the wheel, but I am gonna try a bit of a different way.
