ambitious newbie needs advice for restoration

**jester2213** · 07-11-2013, 04:32 AM

So I'm trying my hand at restoring an old razor off of Ebay. Unfortunately, in my zealous I didn't notice the razor had no measurements of any kind, so I'm not really sure what size scales to order/make for the blade.
Also, I'm trying to find out as much as possible on pinning and peening & hand sanding. I'll try to post up some pics soon, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You can always check out youtube also. But here at SRP there will be a wealth of knowledge for almost all aspects of razor anything!!

jester,

Here's a couple of videos by Charlie, Spazola. One on making scales, minimal tools, and another on pinning and peening.

Also check out Gssixgun and Undream on YouTube. Very good stuff on their channels.

Hey Jester! Glad to know there is another Texan from my neck of the woods. I am still a newbie of sorts but I already have a few restorations under my belt. Let me know if I can ever be of help with hands on advice.
