What did you rehang today?

Best one yet came from a very slim saddle cruiser handle.

Those are really cool and a good use of materials. Have you considered rounding off the end so they don't raise a hot spot in your palm?

No I haven’t. These are already more comfortable in hand than my store bought plastic ones and the idea was to save the cool grips. Maybe a round knob-end handle would be more comfortable, we’ll see, I imagine I’ll have a bucket full of them eventually.

I got hit hard with a bad case of the flu that's left me in a quasi-delirious state all weekend, but despite that I did manage to get some work done on refurbishing my grandfather's Snow & Nealley Hudson Bay. It had some overstrike damage to the haft, and a bad ledge under where the eye was seated, but I had plenty of room to sink it lower on the shoulder. Just needs some sanding to remove the rasp marks and a wedge and it should be golden. The head will be getting some work, too, of course, as it needs a real edge put on it and the cheeks will need a lot of blending back to take the shoulder off any edge ground on the current geometry.

That's looking great. What was the process for achieving that edge?

The same process shown here. I used the contact wheel on my belt grinder with a pulsing fore/aft motion to produce a smooth convex and worked it through a series of belts, down to a cork belt charged with emery polishing compound, then used it in conventional upright form to slack-belt the edge itself.
