7 day razor rack - first iteration

Most of my razors, being 5/8 will fit very well. I made the holes on top circular when they should be oval or otherwise oblong.

Simple piece of 1/2" oak plank and a dremel tool and spade bit with a little bit of chiseling to get things to fit. I sketched it out on paper
over Thanksgiving weekend and have tinkered with it for at least an hour or two since then. It's not quite finished. Needs a little more
work with some sandpaper, stain and seal, thinking about satin marine polyurethane thinned out some. I want it to still look like wood.

Thinking about doing this right in Ebony with my initials or name in ivory inlay. That's a little ambitious for my talents, I think.

Razors include ERN Craftsman, Dahlgren in Ebony, Friodur, Double Duck, among others I just tossed in there.

That looks great really like the brushes at the ends!!!!

Excellent job! I think it came out great. Simple, yet really does a nice job of showing off your razors.

Nice rack Norm :) (pun intended)

It really looks good, a nice piece of furniture for the bathroom!

Thanks, Zephyr, and others.

The Ebony razor you sent me is front and center.

I'm actually going to redo this in Ebony, using elliptical holes so ALL my razors will fit. Sometime real soon.

Problem is finding decent Ebony. As in EBON, Ebony, meaning, BLACK heartwood. I can stain it, but it still doesn't
have the same density/grain.

There're a couple of specialty wood shops in Maryland I plan on visiting soon, before the EPA/DOI bust them
like they did Gibson guitar.

Really nice work.

it is said the to copy some thing it the highest for of flattery.. I hope you are feeling flattered about this little beauty because i think i might just copy it!

If I could figure out how to mass produce variations of these, I could sell hundreds of 'em, but I'm not that organized.

Do you have a diagram for this?

No. I drew it on a sheet of printer paper with a ruler, cut out the pattern, marked centers of the drilled holes and
the general outline, and went at it with a chop saw, spade bits, belt sander and dremel tool.

It's about ten inches by three by one half inch if that helps.

Ok Normbal Thanks for the info.

Her is what i wipped up in the shop slight variation on your and not quite done yet.

What do you think??

This was inspired buy your design thank you!

I need 5 more SR to fill it out. But i am working on it!

nice work. I'm not a carpenter, although I follow One as best as a mere mortal can.

I'm a physician, and mostly do long-range/tactical shooting as a hobby.

I like working with my hands.

Seems you do too.

Have fun.

My buddy has a full wood working shop and from time to time he lets me play with his toys. LOL

What are you shooting? just curious as i was in the Canadian Army Reserves and have has some exposure to precision tactical rifles. Specifically the McMillan .50 cal.

Lately I'm shooting a Savage 110 BA in .338 Lapua Magnum, having some fun with load development/OCW determination, learning to handle a gun that size and at longer ranges than I'm used to, a friend runs a training center in Virginia and most times I shoot with him it's out to around 1,000 yds. He's got property set up for over 2,000 yds I hope to be shooting on soon. I do okay with 308 Win, shot 223 (I've got matched pairs of PSS rifles and LTRs in both calibers), also do some shooting on steel and bowling pins, am an NRA certified pistol instructor and manage to get a few new shooters oriented every year.

50 cal has its place but it's not as accurate as its smaller-caliber "cousins.". Lot of agencies are looking at fielding 300 win mag vs 338 Lapua as a better ballistic choice but I'm sold on the numbers Litz' data is showing me for the 338, and I like big bore guns. Have a couple of safari guns (375 H&H, 458 win mag), I reload for all the calibers I shoot.

Keeps me off the streets at night, gives me something to do while I'm looking forward to my next shave.
