Ooooo I do like that
Very nice set
Very nice. Very nice indeed.
Cool box, Shaun! The razors are nice too.:)
Very nice. Are the razors matching? If they are, are you breeding a 7 day matched set?
The razors are a near perfect match. They are all four 17's by J.A. Henckels, in carbon steel. One of them is a little older than the other three, as it has a slightly different tail. The 17's are hard to find in carbon steel and in very good condition. I think I will be content with the set of four and not got to seven. At some point I may do carved scales or something similar to up the set, but that will be a much much later project if it ever happens. Seven is a tough one because I always feel that if the blades are all matching then the spines need days of the week engraved. I have a few sets of four, the others were made as sets of four. I kind of like fours and pairs at this point. Thanks for the kind words on the box and set. I have eight more boxes planned. At that point I should have my stuff somewhat organized.
Makes a stunning presentation Shaun. Great job.
Great looking box Shaun!
Shaun, that's a beauty!
Nice job Shaun
SWEET! Really well-done! You can make a box and upholster it? Cool! Those skills are something I have yet to accomplish.
It looks factory-made to my eye and good, functional hardware. The razors are also very nice. Good work! :tu
You got the box making thing dialed in now. Excellent craftsmanship. Did the razors honor.
nice razors and box !!!
Where do you find the time for this????
:D Nice!
At Christmas my mother in-law showed me how to line boxes. I have been making boxes for a long time. The leather on the outside I just applied similar principles that are used for the fabric. I have seven more boxes made that are waiting for the inside and outside finish. I work in a remote location and need little project for the evenings. Right now it's boxes, and when I go back to work the evenings for those 21 days will be finishing those boxes.
I feel so ashamed after reading this and seeing the boxes that look so well with the razors. If I had a mother-in-law perhaps she could show me how to darn a sock....I don't think I have enough time to learn mortis and tenon or dovetail joints. Fine work on the boxes, thanks for posting.Quote:

Absolutely a beautiful box and razors. This is presentation quality. Do you shave with these or it a display piece? This is such a nice set I wouldn't want to touch it....But then I'd have to.
Pete <:-}
At this point only one of them is shave ready. It is in good shape the other three are not quite NOS but close, perhaps we could say very good, or near mint. I do shave with the one periodically, I also have two 17's that are Friodurs that I shave with as well.
Nice work Shaun! And razors!
