Would like to see how you polish the mill marks out in fuller. That has been a problem for me. Thanks.

@@MrHarley157 I just uploaded my humble video on how I finish the fuller groove. Thanks!

Would be curious if you put a micrometer on the bases of each fuller? Interested to know how thin the steel is at those points.

I started with .190" steel. The fullers at the root measure .130" using pin micrometers.

Thank you good video unfortunately those machines are big and expensive but they do a great job...

Thank you Logan! You are correct, these Bridgeports are big and expensive. I looked for one for years that was in good shape that I could afford. I love it and use it nearly everyday. I have yet to use a small wheel attachment on my 2X72 to grind in a fuller, but I know guys do all the time. What do you use?

Very interesting. obviously he is a perfectionist just curious am I the only one that is not tracking on a thing he is saying

Exactly how i would do it, if i had those tools.

Could you do a small one on a folding knife?

For sure!

Break out the mill . There are more skilled ways by hand that are more effective and show more skills . WE few Bladesmiths are fed up with this ABS "ANYTHING GOES "method of craftsmanship . Why can't Smith learn older BY HAND skills at placing a fuller ....... Cranking up the Mill with a round faced cutter is NOT particularly skilful in the terms of craftsmanship !

Thanks Andrew. I am not an ABS smith, and I too am passionate about craftsmanship and the old methods. Which is why my machine shop is manual machines. No button pushing in my shop! Haha I do believe manual machining is a skilled trade of craftsmanship. But I understand my method may not be the most skilled way of doing it as a smith. I certainly wasn't trying to demonstrate the most skilled way to do it, just they way I was able to do it to meet my needs. Thanks for the engagement! Rob
