I joined this fine community In March of this year with the sole interest in learning to shave with a straight. Since that first day, i have expanded my interest into not only straight razor shaving but also jewelry making for the creation of metal scales and pinning, soap making for the creation of my own shave soaps, woodworking (which i already love) for the creation of wood scales and razor shelves and cabinets, and other numerous interests.

Now i have some basic wood working instruments to begin with, but now i am going to have to purchase more woodworking tools, a double boiler (for soap making), a vibratory machine (well we all know what they are used for), various metal polishes, various grits and types of sand paper, I would really love a kiln for making my own shaving bowls and scuttles, and a small furnace for making metal scales. There are other wants but i dont have the time to list them all.

Now that i have a desire for all this, i dont have a room to store and use all these toys. Now this site is going to cost me about $150,000 for a new house with a garage a.k.a. man cave. I may go broke but atleast i will have plenty of thing to do while i am in the poor house.

Thanks for all the expanded interests.

BTW Commiecat, if i do achieve all this before i die, you are more than welcome to come over and use anything you wish.
