I use a hard back with used skotchbrite between the paper and backer. Clean the slotchbrite with the air hose...

Great first knife! keep goin'...!

WOW Gene....that's lovely!

an old pressure canner/cooker makes a pretty good pot. I remade the lid out of 1" poly carb so I could see what it is doing. I'm with Edward on a quality pump. A cheap one will give you a good education but long term (if the bug bites) you'll prolly want a good one.

beautiful!

Took me two years of pretty diligent research to discover this...don't even want to think about the cost of experimentation...sigh. (this is the biggest trade secret I own...lol.) you will need to run these at about 8K rpm in steel. I have used these on heat treated and un-heattreated blades...

Oh my!! Superb!

Stick to the Docs orders Sean...it gets tempting to bail on their advice when patience wears thin....you'll be back in the shop in no time!
