A most excellent post Jim! You have put a lot of time and effort into your project and will be appreciated by all that can use your information.

Swage bars? Good grief, something else for me to dive into. Got an explanation on what a bar is used for, since I am so dense and lazy to research it myself. Honestly, this is the first time I've seen one and I ain't got a clue what it's purpose might be. Disston says that the swage bar is for use ...
