How would one form your own beading tools of various radius sizes from HSS stock? Is there various radius grinding stones out there? Sources?
Yes I have done the same thing but just forgot. That is a very good way to get a precise size.I anneal, harden and temper as John states, however, I drill a hole thru the blade at what I think is a good scraper angle, then grind back from the tip so a little less than half the hole remains, then grind the sides to form the spurs.
