    Default Grinding a Crashete

    This is a new (to me) way of grinding. The thick piece of steel gave me quite a bit of practice.

    Wow, all you have to do is show it to a log and it will chop itself!
    Can't wait to see the finished product!
    When all else fails, read the directions, and beware the Chihuahuacabra!

    Crash,

    Real skills on the belt grinder. When the blade is finished, will it go through a final temper process?

    The sawmill blades have a temper that is just about right for a machete. The key is to not change that temper during the grinding process.

    That's not a Crashette. It's a King Crash! Very nice. Looking forward to seeing it all grown up.
