Just plain beautiful work. Humble people with an eye for detail far outweigh rich folk who throw money around and have no skills.
You Sir have Mad Skills and the eye for detail. Is that why they say "The devil is in the details?" and you have a red box??

Thanks! I appreciate your words. I had worried about the red box a bit. Sort of unconventional, I thought. Oh well, it certainly 'pops', as they say!

So I have to ask, "Where did you get the rack for inside the box??, Or is this something that has to be made from scratch??
I dont want mine to lay on their sides.

Truth dude....just sent for the medical body donation form last week.....I'm shaving with one foot in the grave.

Sorry but it don't look good...
Har!!!!!

How did I miss this Tom!!!??? The fact that its taken so long to acquire the scales for this project, is mind blowing enough. The other thing that blows my mind is the condition of all the blades. They're all so perfect! I want to say, make sure you take the time to enjoy them, use them, hold them, melt into the honing sessions and enjoy that as well..... But I'm sure you will! They will be enjoyed for many, many years I'm sure.
Even after your gone!

So now I just have one question...... when are you starting the pass around????

Those are plastic wrench organizers. Someone told me they found some at Harbor Freight. Cut to size and sticky tape on the bottom. I use them to hold my rotation in a cabinet at home as well!

Thanks, Andrew! I plan on using these sets long after the others are gone.
I though about the 'pass around' thing, but inevitably someone would drop one and then, no more spare scales!

If it was anyone, it would be me. I'm the biggest klutz of life! I was kidding. If they were mine, they'd never leave my clutches. I'd be spooning them at night!

Excellent work Tom, but we expect this from you nowadays!

I love your sympathetic approach to restoration, doing just enough and not going overboard like some 'look how clever I am' types that infest this forum...

Take my advice, dont leave Darl alone with them...

Regards,

Neil

Thank you, Neil! I appreciate the kind words.
Speaking of sympathetic, there are a few old wedges in these sets and Darl has offered to hone them to help me out.
I AM having reservations about that, however!

Fantastic achievement Tom - a true labour of love.

Very very nicely done Tom now didn't they turn out well.
