Do the terminals have enough clearence from bonnet?
Good point Nightjar ! that actually slipped my Mind on the terminal to under bonnet short out thing.
Try before you fry as no fuseable links is going to cover that one.

I started two more chefs knives while we were in Kalgoorlie and I have just finished them now at home.
I think they turned out ok, not quite as good as the one I made in the knife making class in Kalgoorlie Boulder Artisan Blacksmiths
For these two I just bought the handles finished from Amazon for $60.00 for the pair delivered
Both these blades are the same construction as to one I made in the class, "Go Mai" which is 1084 high carbon steel center core and then thin sheet Nickel each side of the center and then Wrought Iron cladding on the outside, the thin white line is the Nickel, the dark black is the 1084 and the textured outside is the Wrought Iron, then the blade is etched in Ferric Chloride Fe-Cl3

I made a Paring Knife from some of the left over Go Mai metal from the two big Chefs kitchen knives.
The handle is a piece of dead and dry WA Mulga cut and shaped to the octagon shape, all sanded to a 600 grit finish and an oil/bees wax finish for the handle and blade.
Sharpened to 8000 grit on the cutting edge and, it will cut
cheers dave
