Most of the time, I have incredibly good luck.

When it turns, however...

The waterjet at the makerspace I've been using (I cut & ground a test piece) has broken down. It's an old beastie; a...

I'm starting with a moderate 7/8 razor. :D

The steel is already in hand -- I bought this to start with.

Took the basic use class in using the water jet and tomorrow I'll go in and cut out six...

Yup! Gonna try and get the blanks cut on a water jet tomorrow or Monday, it just depends on how much data massage I’ve got to do to get my vector art into the machine.

I should probably run some experiments. The last time I half-heartedly tried doing that with some random 12v wall wart, it didn’t work very well.

This time I’ll try with the good vinyl stencils I...

I'm ultimately plan to get an electro etch rig because I want to do elaborate blade etches like a lot of the old Sheffield stuff had -- but I'm going as cheap as possible to start, with the idea of...

I'm gearing up to start making my own razors and I'm looking at my options for tang stamps.

My current plan is to just go with stock removal. I'll (hopefully) have access to a waterjet to cut...
