Thanks for the info! I actually just head some interesting info myself... Evenheat is coming out with an app that's automated to their HT for an extra $100

Nope no oven yet...

For the push button controller which is another 250 ? I looked at that but not sure I need a controller with bluetooth and usb so I can reset temps and change times while I am at Starbucks :<0) I got the Rampmaster and after it shipped I saw the vids with all the preset cone temps on RM2 and panicked. When it got here it had Rampmaster 3 with old style temp settings phew . If you saw me unbox mine I missed the plug that covers the top vent hole. Don't throw away the packing till you find it .It was inside some of that foam stuff. Almost missed it.

Ah! I thought I had missed out on something... Someone was telling me only an extra hundred bucks for it...: $250? I dunno if I would pay that much more... Yeah I'll have to check the packing for that

If I may make a suggestion: stop using scribe lines, and start using your eyes.
If you look at your razor from different angles, and along the edge, you will see a lot more than a scribe line ever could, and you can easily tell if the edge is straight or crooked. Also if you want to keep an eye on the geometry while you are grinding, all you need to do is just lay it flat on your bench, and keep an eye on how the razor would 'roll' if you were honing.

I used to make scribe lines when I was making my first razors. But the problem I was facing was that I forge my razors, so it is not possible to make scribe lines and measure parallel lines or right angles. Learn to look at your razor, and you'll start seeing everything you need to know. Scribelines and jigs are crutches imo.

That's actually great advice! that should help me out a great deal being able to look at a razor and know vs a line thank you!

Bruno is right there and I would also suggest you watch the stria as you grind. Your scratch pattern will show you what your doing as you do it. Nice and even scratches means nice and even lines. Now just think of everything at once and go for it LMAO.
