    I can pretty much guess that she will be too busy to do so. When I had to downsize, I was too busy to do the look up and unable to deal with the online selling or finding a buyer for the bulk of the 200 plus straights etc. The straights did sell but much of the rest has been given away.

    Grasshopper learns from the master. Is there any razor-related skill that you can't do, Jerry? I fully expect you to be grinding blade blanks by next week! I'm impressed by your repetoire lately-thanks for the inspiration!

    Thanks Aaron. But it's just me. I don't feel I'm any different than anyone else. I just think about stuff and dive in. It could be the fact that I have many hours on my hands to spend thinking while driving my bomb down the highway. Paying attension is no fun. LOL.

    I finally started on this today. It's a Puma replica for a friend of my dad's. I still need to fit the guard and drill the guard pin hole. Then it will be ready for tempering.
