Needed somthing to take my mind off things....

I don't know what it is but when I am cleaning up, restoring, or honing the rest of the world melts away.
The past several months my life has fallen apart, health wise, lost my home, and lost my family.
(One of the reasons I have not been posting much I cannot stay focused)
I would like to extend a thank you to all on SRP, you have helped by just doing what you do.
SRP has been an anchor point with all the turmoil, it is a great place with great people and has not changed.
But enough of that.

The latest project that I picked up mainly to occupy time.
5/8 near wedge, hones like Sheffield steel, wedge less horn scales (first for me), did a double stack washer, and lost a better part of a weekend.
Shave, well back to the hones. It was alright but I know it has more to offer.

Thanks for dropping by :beer1:

Have been going thru some of the same stuff for over a year,do not be so hard on yourself,god loves us all.

Thank you pixelfixed,

If were not for something much bigger than me... it is the not fighting for what I want that is hard.

I have to say hard on myself nah, life has done plenty of that for me. :)

It is always hard to read about peoples struggles. I wish everyone had security and happiness.

Very sorry to hear about your bad luck. Keep the faith buddy we all are listening and pulling for you!! Very nice restore sir!! I would have a hard time focusing on razors going through what you have. Hang in there!!!!!!!

Great job bringing that old razor back on the line to serve.

Putting your life back in order is much like that razor you just finished,,,a conscious decision to start, piece by piece.
The Train of Life waits on no one, Pat, it's vanity to even think that it will slow down to let us board.
Reach out & grab hold,,,work your way toward the front of the train,,,find a comfortable seat that allows you to enjoy the rest of your life.

Nice job. Kudos to you. Good luck to you.

Nice restore. Keep your nose to the grind stone. You will work your way through it. The razor and everything else. I know you can get it where you want.

Nice work pfries, beautiful old razor.
Keep your head up!

Nice Work sir...better days ahead, for You I Wish.

cp Hirlau, it'll probably take some time but it'll get better so hang on :)! Like the razor restoration.

Hey Fries!

Very nice job!!! I think it looks Great!! Good Job!!! :tu

I also find bringing something 'back to life' relaxing, rewarding and very satisfying!

I'm probably wrong here but I would 'presume' that besides the health issue, there might have been a divorce??

I went through that 5+ years ago and after what I thought was 25 years of a happy marriage! Oh Well!

Anyway, I'll go out on a limb and hope that I don't make a horse's ass out of myself!

I hope you like this! What I find funny is that one of his backup singers is his WIFE!!!

That is a fantastic restore - I only hope that someday I might be able to bring something back like that.
I am very sorry about troubles you have had. The fact that this razor is now in the state it is would indicate to me that there is a great deal of focus reserve left with you!

First off...the razor looks terrific, you restored it and didn't tart it up...nice! My life has blown up in my face multiple times in multiple ways, and busted to zero. I can take credit for most of the mistakes. So find your part, then find the other's part....then forget about both and move on. If you've got family and friends you are golden. If you are alone....brother, hang on for the ride because it can be harsh and very unforgiving. The trip down can happen with alarming speed. Good luck to you, I believe even kind words from virtual shaving crazies can help.

Nice work! Walk tall! Walk proud!
