Thread: Hidden razor and brush holder

Here are some pictures of something I have been working on, I still have a ways to go to finish but I thought I woulds share.

I have a wooden book with a 4x7 chamber inside that I have made in insert for with a computer controlled mill. Each inlay is almost a perfect fit "I will still sand it a bit to get smoother".

The insert is made with oak, and I am considering flocking the inlays to match the color of the inside of the box "will also make a softer surface for the razor to lay on". I am also going to stain the oak a small hint of cherry color and then poly or epoxy it.

Here are some picture:










Let me know what you think
Thanks

Very nice! Since it appears from your magnet inset that you have some Forstner bits handy, I would suggest drilling a 1-inch semi-circular cutout at the mid-point of the blade profile to use as a finger pull for lifting the razor out. Really nice job!

Wow that nice. I think it would be great to hold that special razor and brush. Great stuff

Thanks, I love the lift up cut out idea!

and yes this would be great for the one of a kind razors.

At the moment I am displaying my special razors, aka my one and only Dovo "My Special Razor" and my one NOT so special brush

But it gets the job done : )

Very nice! You can't get much more custom than that.

Beautiful looking box and great idea!

Looks great & I don't mean to sound critical but I 'd be really hesitant about putting a potentially damp brush in with my razor.

That is "off the chain"! You could have customers send you profiles of what they want in a case and you could scan it in! Custom! Anything! Need a poor business partner? Sweet! Tom

Thanks a lot.

You are correct, I never put my brush in there unless its fully dry "24hr's dry". My whole intention for this is as a display, so I would ultimately not be putting a razor or a brush I use often in here. at the moment I only have 1 display worthy razor and 1 sad little brush : ( so I am just testing the waters with the mill and the design.

I can't see the picture...
