Thread: How Is Everyone?? What are you doing these days?

Hi guys,

Hope you are all doing well. Haven't been active on the forum for some time so I wanted to check in and see what everyone was up to. How is life treating you? Got any big projects going on? Additions to the family?

Work and family has been keeping me busy, but my family is doing well so I'm thankful for that. Would like to check in more often to see what everyone on SRP is doing.
Take care you guys and see you around!

Hey Josh. Glad to see ya posting. Stick around. We could use you in some of the banter we have had. Just stay away from the Covid Thread. LOL.

Good to hear from you again. I did respond to your PM.
My current shaving-related activity is building a lightbox to photograph my razors. Still have a few things to do to it and a bunch to learn but so far, so good.

Here is a thread that shows the improvement thus far ......

Welcome back and good to hear you and your family are doing well. Nothing new and exciting on my end. Everything is normal normal here which is as good as it gets these days.

Picture I saw was a marked improvement! I got a cheapo lightbox, but I think I would need to work with some different lighting to get good pictures from it. The LEDs are really bright.

Normal is good. Glad to hear you're doing alright.

All is well in the far west. Not much going on. I little tinkering, but not much. It’s been cold and the shed is unheated, the weather did break recently so I’m back in there, cleaning up and organizing while doing a few home repair projects. Back to work on Tuesday, so I have to take advantage of what time I have left.

Welcome back!

All is well here in the eastern end of Ontario. The tail end of last year was a rough patch around here, so I was more than happy to see the back end of it and am optimistic for a better 2022.

It has been a weird stretch for me in terms of projects, with a bad case of inertia keeping me from getting to work on anything very involved. The next big project is to make some damascus billets then play with some copper to see if I can make some "cu mai" for knives and/or razors. There. Now I've said it here, I have to make it... wish me luck.

Not even kidding, telling someone I'll do something helps me keep myself accountable.
Where do you get the copper?

It's a piece I found in my local metal supplier's offcut bin a couple of years ago and grabbed just because it looked like something that would come in handy one day. So far I've only really used it for spacers on knife handles, little things like that. If memory serves it's a couple of inches wide, a bit under 1/16" thick, and a couple of feet long, so it should work well for this purpose.
