I ground a big notch in the back of my thumb today, between the first knuckle and my wrist. I started to grind and realized my water bucket wasn't in place so I grabbed it and stuck it under there. Straight into the edge of a 50 grit belt. It sucked. 10 hours later it still sucks.

You say this and everyone looks down at their hands, with empathy and sympathy, wishing you to heal well.

Ouch! I've bumped a belt a few times but never removed much skin. Hope you heal fast and well!
 
Going on a little Japanese excursion here.... this all started with me wanting a nakiri for the kitchen. I cut out and profiled some blades for a couple of hours after work for the last 2 nights and ended up with this pile. They are all 0.093" AEB-L. Some of the smaller ones still need a to have a little more belly ground into them and the small nakiri's need some corner rounding like the larger ones.

That's a nice space! Looks bigger than my garage and I have to move everything around on wheels so I can get the car in every night...
 
Nice looking beginnings opaul, don't remind me about moving milling machines. I had help getting this on the truck but was by myself unloading it, it took some creative thinking to make it work.
