More work...

In the first picture, I've already milled the relief for the liner lock bar and I'm beginning to cut out the lock bar.

After it is cut, I screw the two liners together and finish the liner profiling. More pictures of that later.

Now we'll take the blade blank and put it on a sheet of sandpaper lying on a very flat surface.

Start putting even pressure on the blade and move in figure '8's. We need it to be very flat. I need a surface grinder!
