Hi Mike,
Welcome to the forum. I hope you can make the drive to Rochester next week. Be sure to bring any razors you have.

**MNWetShaver** · 01-17-2015, 07:22 AM

I'll do that! Too bad I won't have my Morley. Just sent it out today to get scales. But have 2 plus a vintage W&B eBay special that'll be here tomorrow or Monday. But I'll definitely be there. Looking forward to it!

Sorry about that!

For some reason I thought you had sent me an email. So, I checked, and, NO...so I checked my PM folder...again, No! Ah well, I will see you in Rochester.

Founs a great set of a small anvil, 4oz ball peen hammer and flush cutter I just ordered.

Funny, being winter, I use my kitchen just for certain things but my power tools are out in the garage. I do have a Dremel set up in the house as a small drill press. You have some good tools coming. I not only use flush cutters but sometimes have to use different things like a drill depending on what it is I'm working on. You can't use the flush cutters on the old step collars since they will ruin them. I always use 2 layers of masking tape on my scales when removing pins just in case I slip. I have a set of hole punches I bought from Harbor Freight so I can punch holes through the masking tape for the pins. I also bought a Watchmakers hammer there with 6 interchangeable heads. Here is a link to my kitchen working area since it is wintertime:

You can also make your own tools sometimes if you have to. Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do to get the job done! You can see I have some different anvils, one being a section of railroad track.
