Thread: 8/8 Spanish

On a technical note this is a Gallery subforum, a place to post pics of a persons razor, etc.
So, from that perspective he is not a Vendor just because he posts here.

However, I would appreciate him signing up as a Vendor because what he does is make custom razors and sells them. I doubt that he would post here if it did not lead to more sales.

Just my 2¢

Any of us who have posted our restorations etc have likely garnered some business that way. For some it's just a hobby.
For those who run a business it behoves them to sign up as a vendor for the benefits it provides & at some point it becomes obvious if the volume of sales & posts warrant it.

I personally just don't want to see him get run off on a technicality because I love seeing his work. He makes some fabulous stuff.
On the other hand becoming a vendor would almost certainly increase his sales. However, I doubt he has trouble selling those beautiful razors. If I did work like that it would be very hard to afford.
My compliments to you señor.

1. Do you use any type of adhesive in addition to the pin? If so, what kind?
2. Is the pin flared at all, or is it only inserted into a slightly larger diameter hole and held in place with the adhesive?

Hello I use various adhesives: cyanoacrylate, epoxy, titebond ... depending on how the wood is. I make a hole, with the wood very close to its final thickness. After countersinking the hole, I rivet the pin. With a small hammer. The expansion of the pin is inside the hole. Then I adjust the thickness of the wood in the sander and the pin is smooth.
Best regards

Thanks, that is exactly what I have been doing as well. I was wondering if there was anyone else using this technique.
