If you appreciate shaving with a straight razor this local man's finished project should appeal to you.

Really cool. Obviously a skilled craftsman.
Why is it hard to get coal in Canada?
Do you know this fellow?If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

I don't think it is too hard to get coal in Canada but I think what he wanted was Anthracite coal which is not currently mined in Canada but there are deposits of it in northern BC and the Yukon, Coal - Air - Environment Canada .

Oh! By reading the title, I thought CelticCrusader had obtained another pristine razor!
He did a nice job, it would seem, on that boat. It reminds me of the 'African Queen'!Last edited by sharptonn; 08-02-2015 at 04:51 PM.

I'm sure if our Jamie were to build a boat it would be a classic too. Yea, African Queen popped into my mind to when I first saw it. Originally Posted by sharptonn

He doesn't need anthracite he just wants it because it burns hotter. It's kind of like using premium fuel in a higher performance car. Regular will run but premium runs better. Anthracite is a pita to use because it takes a lot of heat to get it going.

I believe he also wants anthracite because it contains less sulfur so the stack gasses aren't so noxious. Originally Posted by thebigspendur

Additionally, anthracite burns much cleaner (0-1 Ringelmann) in terms of smoke density than does bituminous coal (2-4 Ringelmann).
Nerd Fact of the Day: The scale for quantifying smoke density (from 0, totally clear, to 5, no light transmittance) is the Ringelmann Scale...Robeth likes this.!! Enjoy the exquisite taste sharpening sharpening taste exquisite smooth. Please taste the taste enough to ride cutlery.
