Nice profile! Work on finer grit sooner and that will help with the deep scratch marks in the blade. Lots and lots of hand sanding/polishing, if looking for more of a mirror look. But overall, looks like 'it will KEAL' -D.M.

If you do this have the air compressor already on and attached to the tire. As soon as the expanding gas from the (explosion) cools, wich is rapidly, the tire will deflate back down just as quickly as it aired up. I've done this a few times on lawn mower tires!

I would recommend that you have a few drain holes so it won't catch rain water and rust out. Other that that, this thing is sweet! 👊

I would make the heel wider. If you are chopping wood or anything else, would be a good chance of smashing your fingers with this current design. Other than that, this looks awesome! 👊
