Thread: We Have Skills Too !!

It's the same press I use to drill holes in my scales.

I thought about posting this in the 'What do you have in the mail' thread but I thought I'd show my meager attempt at having a 'skill'.

Ever since Glen advised me to pick up a Jeweler's Hammer (and I did) I've been looking for a 'lighter' one and one with a Really Rounded Head on the opposite end of the ball. I stumbled upon this on FleaBay and I'm pleased. Well once I modified it I'm pleased well I 'think' that I'm pleased.

It didn't come with the same kind of 'lump' in the handle that my original did but it was still enough to make it uncomfortable in the hand when I would be using it so as with my original, I cut the head off, drilled the wood and wedge out of the hammer's head and then sized the handle to accept the head that would be installed backwards and used JB Weld to secure the head back to the handle.

I've been playing with it and I think that I'll really enjoy it. I've got several razors coming in that will need attention so I'm hoping that this new tool will perform like I think it will.



Now I need to learn better photography skills.

I'm not particularly handy unfortunately. But I do like to see other peoples work

Not sure if I'm allowed to post in this cool thread John, but here's my attempt..
Non razor related gift for a co worker who spent some time in the artillery with the Canadian forces.

T'is supposed to look like an artillery round, base of walnut, 'round' made of maple.
Still need to finish it up. Going to try to add an antique brass wash to the walnut somehow.
Wanted it to be easy to clean for meat covered hands by the bbq and still a non typical shape.
Cheers.

You "Skilled" guys can post here,,, just don't be showing off your shaving related stuff.

He's gonna like that one Mike,,, nice job.

It occurred to me after my last post. I may not have skills in metal wood or leather work. But I can confidently say I can cook. 😁

So hopefully that gets me in.

Tonight I turned.....

Here's a few guitars I built & finished. I didn't mill & route the wood but took care of all else.
I may start another one this summer...

Beautiful work ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
