my broken tool/knife and stock removal mods.

[JAfromMn]

I'm going to try get all my mods in one place so I can keep track of them

I'm getting good at what I do whatever that is that I do. "mostly slow cold grinding"

keeping the metal cold while working on it is the hard part. Its a slow process I use but it works. Grind a little, dip in oil, grind a little, dip in oil, over and over until I like what's left.

here's the last thing I did.

You'll owe me a beer for this one.

Well, you know what I mean - Seeing things you have done, the things you start with and soem inbetweens gives you an idea of how someone works (in some cases, it even shows how he works inside his head)

I find it hard to stay patient enough not to overheat metal while grinding. But I don´t mind fiddling with digital watches innards or cleaning a set of four carbs meticulously - I can totally forget about time working on a project.
