"Palavering" confers that the talking is, by and large, unproductive.

In a work environment, it might be said that "Zito and Doyle been standing around yappin' all day and didn't get nothing done."

Nice knives Kevin.

Gotcha and thanks! Means a lot, brother!

I use EXTREMELY light pressure. You can actually get a “mirror shine” on steel with 60 grit belts. I kinda think that it’s a waste to use a higher grit at first. Basically, I hog off a bunch of material with the 60’s, then use very light pressure, which is honestly the only way that I can manage to get things flat, and square everything up. Super light pressure causes shallow scratches. I’m 99.99% sure that I’m doing that all wrong lol. Honestly, I use such light pressure that sometimes I go 60, 120, 220, 320, then buff. The attached picture is of a piece of Koa fresh off the 60’s. It’s
just the way I have always done it. Never really thought about it, because it was just a natural byproduct of going slow and using light pressure.

I didn't mean to imply you were doing any thing wrong . Maybe I should try it on the next blade I make with curly Gidgee.

I didn’t take it that way at all lol. I just figured someone would jump in and say I’m wrong because 99.99% of the time I am. Truly.

by the way that wood is pretty. I like it.

I’d be willing to bet that no one was offended in any way. Well, I know they weren’t.

I wasn't offended.

I was trying to post a silly gif in response to your comment but I couldn't get it to load right, hence my edit.
