CB,
Thanks for posting the kenjig document on your website; that is a very convenient way to locate it.
Rick,
I live in Columbus. My wife and I moved here several years ago to be near our grandchildren.
As a machinist, you know that nothing is "exact", only "within tolerance" or not. While I fully appreciate the precision of finely machined tools and products, my "within tolerance" zone for things which have been hand sharpened for centuries is a bit more tolerant.
Keep posting.
Ken
Ken,
Like you, I recently (well, 11 months ago) moved from Portland, OR, where I had lived for 41 years (39 in the same house), to Halfway, OR to be near my granddaughter. Halfway is a town of 300 people, in a ranching valley in far, far eastern OR, but the population of the dispersed ranching population is likely equal to the town's. Major change, but I love it. There is not even a stop light here. If I have to wait for two cars at a stop sign, it is a traffic jam.
Yes, I do know about tolerances and "good enough". I simply enjoy working as closely as I can. I do appreciate your comment about things having been hand sharpened for centuries as well.
I've been studying some of the threads on your kenjig and others and will embark on making the kenjig soon. Great stuff.
Rick
