I even had time to make a start on my Somerset Silage Cutter.
The handles had got worm damaged, so I killed them with fire
This was a pleasant job.
Dressing the teeth with a stone. The stone I use is only used for this tool. So it has worn to suit my grip and the blade.
The noise when you get it right is such a beautiful noise.
The cloth/rag is there to stop the red stuff making a mess. It is that sharp.
By now tools could be used.
Handle being turned.
I tried a method I saw on You Tube. You apply a grinder, with a sanding disc to shape.
Not be doing that again.
Tosh. You can so quickly make a mess.
Heating the metal to remove that bend and to soften it.
Plus to get it ready to fit the handles.
Handle No. 2. Turned and using a decent bit drill from end to end.
Filled with crushed sulphur.
Then fitted to a hot tang.
Taken quickly, then big steps were taken. Away.
This method is a traditional way of fixing handles.
Good for them, good for me.
But 2 pack is also good.
But two pack is also good.
The night time frame.
The blade sits into the rebate. This is filled with a hard mix of bee's wax and Linseed oil. Animal fat would of been traditional. But I didn't have any.
The clamps are fixed, the blade will bite and I was not running that risk. The tip has been pushed back do no sharp edge is exposed.
The last picture is me using a source of Nuclear power to melt my wax and oil.
