this mod was made as a testing thing for me, I have used Damascus many times before for knives etc but hollow grinding a blade is completely different to drilling holes in it

"The Maze Runner"

Frypan: Newt, what do you see?

Newt: It's a girl. I think she's dead.

Gally: What's in her hand?

Newt: [Newt takes note from Teresa's hand] "She's the last one... ever." What the hell does that mean?

Teresa: [Wakes up, gasping] Thomas...!

so plate first

you may have seen my other posts about this stuff its very very very hard harder than stainless harder than mostly all metals in fact, so hard stuff needs hard tools so pure carbide milling tips and cobalt drills neither of these you can pick up off the bay its got to be proper gear not recycled VW engines

I've cut the holes etched the blank as I had to surface grind it down then recoloured the finish

just to cut the plate to size means using a cutting disc on a angle grinder

the block

action shot cutting down with a razor sharp cutter the cutter alone is £80 so they aren't cheap things

so add the bit together and we have

I have refinished the mod but I have put it through so much with the plate I have drawn a line under it there are some tiny inclusions in the resin but they are minor

in the paw 360 degree

Wonderful, I remember my attempt at Damascus and it put me right off trying it again since it tough stuff.
 
That is just lovely Stu...and has the name of my favourite character in Robin of Sherwood.
