: Elliot,
: Jealous of that ES you're building. More pics?
: I use a double bastard flat file. Liked the name. It's a staight swipe trying
: to keep the bevel the same. Coarser file seems right because it only takes
: a couple of draws across and it leaves a kind of serrated edge . It's not
: fine work and nice curls come off if sharp. If it doesn't sharpen fast and
: easy it probably wouldn't get sharpened. You're lucky if the local Ace or
: whatever carries the replacement blades of various shapes. They make a
: couple which are a good radius for inside the hull. For planes and stuff
: get a wet stone. I thought I should look you up some day, I have a buddy
: in Whitney Point. What do you say?

Jim, yeah, where are you coming from? I'm in Binghamton about 18 miles south of whitney point.
Let me know, Elliott
