Hi Chris
I just watched your magnus opus mate…an impressive piece of work with some good photography and dialogue.
I was a bit taken aback by the vigorous method you use with the diamond paddles as opposed to the usual light sweeping strokes we see most of the time, but if it works, go for it. If you get the result you wanted then it is OK. I would suggest that perhaps you remove a little more metal than you need to, but I might be wrong.
If you don’t mind a suggestions, if it was me I would have broken the whole down into several shorter sections…for those of us with short attention spans. If you check YouTube I think you will find that the majority of videos are more succinct
Anyway, I found your video informative and well done. A different way to get a convex edge.
Best regards Chris and Happy New Year mate
Leo
