Sure will Steve!
Below is a Semi Skinner that is the last of my first batch. I'm glad I decided to do a batch as i think it's given me enough time to get into a rhythm with each facet of the process.

I seem to have sorted the etching now. I'm not completely happy with it as there is ghosting around the letters but it's something that will probably get better with practice. I tried a light buff on a few of them but it ripped out most of the black leading me to think the etch itself isn't deep enough. It worked great on the milling cutters i was practicing on so it seems stainless doesn't etch as deep as carbon steel with the same settings. I don't know if i should be upping the power or doing more repetitions? Time will tell.

Now my second batch includes my first attempt at a double ground blade. So far so good. It's very exciting!
