Nice! I almost went with that one but opted for the Northridge instead.
Let us know how it works out for you!
What's going on in your shop?

These blades are nearing completion. I still need to blend some lines in a little better and do some final hand sanding but I'm getting there.

No problem. I hope it helps!
Be careful what kind of tape you use, though! Some of that stuff is a BEAR to remove. Especially stuff like 3M VHB. It's worth doing some experimenting. A "mounting tape" designed for interior walls would probably be a good balance of holding power and ease of removal.
Wiping everything down with isopropyl alcohol or acetone helps a lot with the adhesion.

I know I’m going to love it. I had one and sold it to a member here on the forum. Purchased a KMG but decided I liked the TW 90 better. I am going to put a glass platen on this one once it’s up and running.

Made some cu mai finally, this was attempt 2 and it worked great.
Used 50100 as the core and laminant steel.
First attempt I got the billet too hot and tried to forge it on its side and split it open. Lesson learned there!

Bird feeders. More specifically, bird feeder hangers. That’s what’s going on in my shop.
I am taking time to heat and beat a large piece of tool steel into what will hopefully become a nice Bowie knife in between the heating and beating on these hangers.
The pace is a little frantic but is efficient. Two mild steel hangers and a big chunk of 4150 all staying warm and cozy in the forge together… never have to set the hammer down!

Don't sharpen it. It'll tear up the holster

Just curious, is that a 638?
If that's the case, you WD-40 when you sharpen it, so you won't gum up the abrasives on the alloy frame

Speaking of sharpening your revolver: https://64.media.tumblr.com/db6ba04b2b357cd965aac14d8dda367e/tumblr_nhu7loE4051s57vgxo4_r1_1280.jpg
That's a real thing. Pritchard bayonet for a Webley revolver.
