Well, I took the advice of other members and decided to restore a couple of razors that were broken from a handed down collection. this is the 1st one I plan on fixing a couple more but its a hobby so it might take some time. What do you guys think of the new grips I made?
I redid the top razor, it had cell rot.

The new scales seem, to have 'grips'! They look nice from here, unique. What material are they made from?

Well done.
nice starter
and so the fun begins with a few more to do still
Well done mate, great craftsmanship. :)
I like them. Very nice.
Looks great! How do you like working with G10?
Its easy to work with, but you have to be careful because it has fiberglass in it, and its dangerous to breath, I do my cutting with a band saw and use a sander to get it to the general shape I want before using files for the rest, I do the cutting and sanding outside and file work mostly in my back yard relaxing in a chair or if its cold or raining in my basement. I never wear gloves but as a result my hands will get a bit on the itchy side, I do wear safety glasses and if there's no breeze a face mask.Quote:

A change of clothes after working it is almost a must and cleaning all seating in the shop required. One of the few jobs that I washed my hands before using the mens facility.Quote:
