A couple of days in the shop
I had a casual weekend for a change so I thought I would spend some time in the shop and take my time at it, which is unusual.
The Wade and Butcher and the Northfield belong to a friend in Ithica. They were restored with the scales on with instructions to save the etching on the Northfield. The Theirs Issard and Sheppards and Irving are mine, the TI was a gift from a friend and my forst frameback. The TI and SI were rescaled in recycled Bakelite and new horn respectively. NiAg pins on both, recycled original washers on the TI and stainless washers on the SI. They'll be off to the hones some time this week. Also in the mix, but not pictured, were several razors donated by another Mod for the give away. I just buffed them up to give them a shine and will have them honed and in queue for the SRP give away shortly.
In some of the pictures the blades look frosted. It's just eh sides of the light box reflected in the mirror finish of the blades. Jr would have taken better pictures bit these do look interesting.Last edited by Joed; 09-20-2010 at 12:14 AM.

Thanked: 1371Great stuff Joe. I am in love with that TI frameback.

Very nice work, Joe. We must have been on the same wavelenght because I spent most of today on my buffer too.
I'd take that W&B over that French thing any day, BTW. A proper, Sheffield razor. ;-) said in jest (about the TI)

That's a bad (awesome) bunch there Joe but that T.I. does float my bateau, bien sur.
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

I was really anxious to work on the TI. I'm very pleased with the results on this one and the others I worked on. The TI will probably get honed up this weekend and I'll take it for a spin. Jr will probably want to give it a go also.
