Nice work, King! I did mine and then polished everything, then I learned that I shouldn't have polished anything. I sanded it all back to a dull surface again with 150 grit.
It's tuff work and my big hands hated it! Good luck with the build.

I used a carbon steel hacksaw blade and did it by hand with no saw just the blade. I got alot more control that way. I just made the blade about 6 inches long so it was easier to hold. I cleaned it up with a small tungsten file. I couldnt finish it all today. Needs a little more to be perfect
