(Yes, this is meant to be somewhat tongue in cheek) Yesterday i pulled off a good, clean, consistent FFG grind with thickness at edge of 0.001” on a 7” Petty, without over grinding the edge. A little bit of a zen moment that: look/feel/grind, exert more pressure HERE, then exert more pressure THERE, etc. however, the stock was pretty thin 0.06”, and so had the occasional “zing” on my fingers supporting from underneath. Ended up with some rather nice divots on three Of my fingernails. Not really injury... but nice to avoid. I could have used magnets on back of blade instead of my fingers ... but then fear i would have lost the zen of the feel...
how do you avoid this with thin stock ... if you can?
