Unless I build more chisel racks they may be the last. <br /><br />That could be close to the truth this time. MsBubba and I are finally getting serious about my shedding the stripped tie, white shirt, blue blazer and gray slacks. I'm not sure when but maybe soon, it will be a shame because when I close the door I love what I do I just don't love how much of it there has been for the last couple or three years. <br /><br />ken I'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-26823222820624847622018-06-17T17:12:38.071-07:002018-06-17T17:12:38.071-07:00OOOH AHHHH Nice stuff...

Of course I need another plow like the well known hole in the head but sometimes you just have to take a flyer.<br /><br />ken I'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-44109855740951375742018-06-17T08:20:31.140-07:002018-06-17T08:20:31.140-07:00Matt,

I'd just use the stone as is, working with the dish on bevels and save the back for the final finish stone. <br /><br />Of course YMMV,<br /><br />kenI'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-26143654970176080852018-06-17T03:11:25.549-07:002018-06-17T03:11:25.549-07:00And I said I was not going to do another rehab for...And I said I was not going to do another rehab for a very long time. the irons on the plow look like they were just touched upRalph Boumenothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10606484453109932074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-80411449252729543802018-06-16T22:40:36.910-07:002018-06-16T22:40:36.910-07:00Congrats on your finds, Ken.

I recently came into an old Pike's Washita stone (that I was going to blog about in the coming weeks), but it's badly dished - maybe 3/16" down in middle compared to the ends. Would you attempt to flatten it, or just use it for special tools that don't need flat stones, like gouges. Mine came glued into it's original wooden holder/box. Would you pry it out to be able to clean it and flatten it? Any help is appreciated.Matt McGranehttp://tinyshopww.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
