Just a little update of the tool I made in a previous post https://www.furaffinity.net/view/61430872/
I ground the frame down with a file and took it to my slow speed water grind stone. I usually use that thing for sharpening knives, but it gives a good finish on metal since it's a 220 grit stone.
I took the liberty of applying gunblue to the bare metal and then gave it a light scrub with scotch brite before oiling it up. Here you can see the visible scarring on the frame from my attempt at adding more material to it to grind down flat using an arc welder. The forge had oxidized the steel when I was performing a forge weld to make that socket that holds the tightening post.
I can't really grind it back any more, so it's just going to have be there.
Also I added a little loop on the back to hang the saw.

Yeah, no it really sucked. I didn't do a very good job as you can see from the seams that the slag gave me. I could probably just fill that in by wrapping copper around it and using the heat of the forge to melt it into the seams, but I don't want to ruin the nicely work hardened spine. When making hacksaw frames you want to work harden it so it stays rigid.
