Don't feel bad, I'm in the same boat regarding knees. All part of aging.

You just live in the wrong part of Ontario. Gun stores are where I have bought from in the past. ;)

Bob

Didn't mean to push. It is just that I found the CA finish to be tough as nails. I have used Tru-Oil on gun stocks but I didn't think it was as tough as a CA finish iirc. Mind you, I don't think I'd...

Looks good Jerry. I have one quest though. Why finish with Tru-Oil and not just do CA all the way through?

Bob

Yea, that cleaned up nicely. Great etching too.

IIRC, those 340s were beasts but most guys that had them ran them hard and the 340 was blowing oil out the pipe at about 20,000 miles.

Cold bluing works after a fashion with this type of deep etching but I would not try it on an etching like Peter's razor has with all that frosted area.

IIRC I masked off what I did not want blued. It may take several coats of cold blue to get a deep dark blue/black hue. I have never used Brownell's cold bluing. I just used a 30 year old part bottle...

Some vintage razors had the tang blued and others the tang and top of the spine blued. If the blade was a spike/square point the bluing on the spine sometimes came down the front of the toe also. I...

Not exactly what I meant by corrective taping. There are some good threads on that type of work on here somewhere.

Bob

There are ways of using tape to try and get around the heavy wear on the spine.

Bob

Very classy.

@ Montgomery

Very nice save on that razor, well done. Those marks on the tang could be "cold shuts" from the forging process.

Bob

Looking good.

Bob

I'd say you are right on that. I think it is pre WWII as it is marked Germany and I believe post war it would have been West Germany to distinguish it from East Germany. After the German Unification...

This source Razor makers lists an Anton Wingen Jun in Solingen from 1925 to 1939. It would be marked Germany if made in that time frame.

Yes, I was afraid none of their SHD badger knots would be in that small a size. Seems small knots are really out of favour these days.

Bob

You might want to consider a Maggard's SHD badger knot for your needs if they make one small enough. I recently got one in 28mm and it is a very nice 2 band badger. Their overseas shipping seems very...

Very nicely done. Have my doubts my blade will clean up as nice as yours did and am keeping the original scales.

Bob

The boss was rooting around and found this little booger.

An 11/16 JR Torrey in sad shape. Looks like I'll give it a bit of a clean and see how it hones up.

Bob

Worked around machinery in a pulp and paper mill most of my life. Moving machinery is nothing to mess with especially the stuff that moves automatically with no warning and/or is unguarded. It's a...

OK, not that old after all https://sharprazorpalace.com/workshop/138415-scale-liners-2.html post #18 by Glen.

Somewhere there is a thread on lining scales and iirc there is a post in it about drilling some holes in the liner to give the epoxy something to hold on to other than a smooth surface. OTH I'm old...

Looking very good Jelly.
