Attachment 156511Attachment 156512
Shorten it and put it in new scales...that's what!
4 2/3" Total blade length now.
1 3/4" shaving length.
Corian Scales, inlays transferred, NiAg pins, SS Domed washers, brass thrush washers, Corian wedge.....

Now that's what I'd call a "broke-duck" mutha... :p
Beautiful work... a real "lemons to lemonade" story. Thanks for posting!
this duck looks great. I've got a set of blanks ordered out of the same type of material. if you don't mind where did you get your material.

I actually got the material from a counter top that was removed. Free for me!
Very nice save. I have been wanting to convert one of my razors into a shorty for awhile now. Eventually I will work up the nerve to do it.
Just do it!Quote:

Nice work. I got a a beat up old razor that I'm going to try something similar with. I'll have to get in touch for some pointers when I find the time to start!
Nice! I need to do that to the scales on my shortie duck as well... Only the blade is short! :)
Thank You!Quote:

Whatever your doing is an improvement over your previous pics. Some of the photographic work done here outshines the razors being presented. I get the impression there are some professional photographers among us.Quote:
