    I think Glen just has that 'magic' touch. It seems everything you touch turns out beautiful!!

    Great job on an old beater....

    Cool Torrey Barber's Notch

    Another one that Alan had sent me, didn't take to long at all... Sorry no before pics the camera was inside the house

    The razor was so covered in Red Rust that you couldn't read the tang, polished all that off on the buffers. Tossed away the old beat up wood scales somebody had pounded on there years ago and used these Faux Bamboo's off another Torrey that I had in the shop... New pins & washers in and out finishes it off and it is going on the hones here in a bit,,, Going to do the exact same routine as I used on the Case XX but thinking a Coticule this time round...

    Careful Glen, you might find you only need 2 stones for everything... Maybe not

    Cool Two more,, a Faultless and another Torrey

    Two more that Alan sent...

    I started on these Slick Black scales then stopped and took a pic of how bad they were that Greenish Brown stuff all over them is actually oxidation (note the tape stripe)... A bit of work starting with 220 grit sandpaper and ending with polishing and they are Slick Black again...


    The before Pics

    The finished pics

    These are heading to the hones too, but I am going to video another 1 Stone Honing session on that Bamboo Torrey using a Coticule since I haven't done a Vid of that yet... IIRC I have a Thuringen and now the PHIG might as well do the Coticule version while I am goofing
