I want to just have one thread i can use for wip stuff. So I won't need to make a new one for each project. (provided they are spaced 90 days apart).
Anyway i have a few right now. Probably a few too many lol. Ill share a couple right now though.
So this first one is my top priority right now.
Still polishing it but its a 180mm c grind cpm 10v nakiri, thats a laser. Like when i say a laser. Its just extremely thin.
But the problem with that, is the c grind, plus the thinness, means doing grinding and polishing warping becomes an issue. Which is making my work on it much slower than i would like.
I definitely plan to do more laser type grinds in the future. But this is going to be the first, and last laser, s or c grind.
Next one. Is a wrought iron clad w2 bunka. Its going to someone here. Really more than anything just waiting for them to be ready to pick it up. (which is no rush at all). I need finish it on the naturals still. But that should be a huge deal. The one good thing about w2 is it polishes a lot easier than what I'm used to. So thats good at least. Not good enough to make up for the complications that come with the super low hardenability to me though.
Final one I'll post is something i just started on a couple days ago. And still needs a lot of work.
I'm going to be making some low layer wrought iron, nickel damascus. I have the initial forge weld done. Need to draw it out and fold it a couple times, but im excited to see how it goes.
