Dude, that ghetto broach you made is awesome... stealing the idea!

[@RedRightHand-Blades-Marshal]

Yeah man, it worked really well. Good luck with it.

[@personalministries537]

The profile was very nice and wow, what a pattern. Maybe next time. It isn't a failure if you learn from it.

[@RedRightHand-Blades-Marshal]

Thanks alot! I agree... It's a tough lesson, but a lesson nonetheless.

[@guillermoalfaro2714]

Bro?!! Don't worry about it, it can be fixed and it's a beautiful knife 😊😍

[@RedRightHand-Blades-Marshal]

Thanks buddy. Onward and upward!

Really nice blade! If you're worried about the flexible sides of the belt when working on top of the grinder, you can aim at the spot right behind the top wheel (above the flat platten), an empty spot where you can draw a triangle basically. The belt has more tension there so it won't flex as much and give you a more flat area. Pretty useful when sharpening on a belt grinder, see if it works for you!

[@RedRightHand-Blades-Marshal]

Thank you! Yeah, I've tried that. Unfortunately, I don't think it's enough for me to get the results I'm looking for. If you're interested, you can see my attempt at a solution, in my next video. I added a secondary platen, so that I could use that part of the belt, with some support behind it.

[@valeharperx]

@@RedRightHand-Blades-Marshal It indeed looks like a pretty practical solution that should give you more consistent results, especially for the thicker and heavier blades! Great job :D

[@BenGrigsby]

Thing of beauty 💯👍🍺

[@RedRightHand-Blades-Marshal]

Thank you! Much appreciated.

[@hunt_trap_fish]

It's basically an angled handle broach and I REALLY wish I had watched this before I bought one lol

[@RedRightHand-Blades-Marshal]

Haha! Yeah, hindsight. :)

[@lancehead38]

Keyhole saw?

[@RedRightHand-Blades-Marshal]

Well, that might work well (although most of them are tapered, and are pretty wide at the handle side, and may not be great for tight work). I could have sworn I heard a bladesmith mention a name for the tool, but I can't remember it.
