new fork for the recent frame

These are in sequetial order.. see the above post for pre- fit work

Equally bent blades.. sneak up on the curve if you dont have stops installed in the fixture.

2) ovalized TT bending lever with a 'soft' plactic insert to avoid kinking the blades when moving over the form.
I slot the blades after bending. With two wood blocks in the vice jaws to pad the steel, the blade lines up for better sight lines. This helps with hacking a centered slot to be finished with files.


Pinned and ready for brass



Nice, strait and true!! Both blades fall on center.. no turkey legging here Yo!!
