New Razor Stand

So I had been wanting a good stand to display my razors on and hold my brush as well and after much searching I just decided to build my own! I had a old scrap of maple from a drawer that I used for the base and holder and I purchased a 3/8"" walnut dowel for the vertical supports. Finished with 4 coats of spar varnish/turpentine mix. All in all I think it turned out pretty good and total out of pocket cost was less than $5 :) hope you guys like it!

Now all I need is a couple more razors to fill those empty holes....

Nice work chapman. Thanks for sharing.

That's a great piece of work there. I need one with about 200 spots in it :<0)

Nice work! very clean design

Very nice...incorporates all my favorite elements. Simple beauty of woodwork, practical, and inexpensive (as long as one doesn't make too many extra holes that need to be filled)!:tu

Thanks guys! I got the idea from some stands on etsy and just modified it a little.

200 holes may be a little to large for my skills though , 10Pups :).

I've just recently gotten into woodworking and it truly is a great hobby

That is beautiful, design is simple and practical.

Nice work for sure! Very elegant!

Looks great! Not one for exposed razors, but I really like this design. Being a DE an straight user this works great for a steady rotation. Did you hand sand the edges of the holes? They appear tapered but all so uniform didn't know if it was hand done or router? Either way I like this an may steal this design.

I drilled them out with a hole cutter then used a router to round all the edges, then hand sanded to get some burn marks out. I don't like exposed razors all that much either but they are my daily shavers(only shavers haha) so they get used and inspected regularly

Nicely done, looks very good!!

Cool. That was pretty close to the method I figured was used. Nice work.

I can help you 10pups. Just send my that seven day set of ducks and you,ll only need 193 holes I,ll even pay the shipping! Tc

Very nice.

@Chapman

Did you make the scales for your blades?

The stand is really nice. Good job.

Here's my new razor stand, and believe me for somebody that's all thumbs like I am this IS an accomplishment. Found some oak slabs at Lowe's Hardware and put it together.

I have a stand Mastershake made for me but I didn't want to expose that one to the steamy bathroom conditions so I made one to put there.

Actually I found a stand I wanted to buy at Etsy but the brush opening was too small for the brush handles I use. I asked him if he could enlarge the hole for me and he never got back to me, so I got this bright idea to try and make my own. It's functional for me and I like the color and texture that the pre-stain, stain, and varnish added to the wood. I'm thinking of making a big one for the brushes and razors that I store in bulk.

I need to get off my butt and make a stand. Very nice
