Wasn't expecting that...
Compost happens....
A Planer? I'm the Planer, and this is what I use
I expected more of a story to go with this....
So, there I was, cutting a mortise in my concrete driveway when.....
That is no fun at all. How long did it take you to realize what had happened?
Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.
Stuff happens:
@Andrew lol yes that would have made it more interesting. I was chopping the mortise in purple heart actually, which is getting pretty close to concrete I guess. @Phil This is an old pig sticker too. I saw the break immediately, spent the next 20 minutes fixing it. Used an angle grinder clamped in my vise to get an approximately correct bevel, then finished up on a grinding wheel and finally hand honing. Worked well enough to finish the frame I was making, hopefully lasts a little while yet.
Hey, I've got one that looks just like that, except I didn't keep the tip piece. I really need to fix that one of these days.

Looks like you still have a bit of hardened steel left, that’s good. Tune it up a bit. With no prying, the cardinal sin, you may get another 50 years out of it.
