Thread: What Do You Have In The Mail Right Now?

I'm not even sure I have WD 40 Shaun. Usually I use 3 in 1 and steel wool, but I can see why it would be better. The solvent in it would help loosen things up. What about Super Lube? Expensive synthetic stuff I have in the truck. I feel like it's a dry spray tho.

All good things..

Oh diggidy dawg Mike! Those may just be the best 2 adhesives on the face of the planet! Love both, they just work so well. Used the Titebond 3 on my skateboard veneer brush. Stuff works like a champ.

Just a little lubtication to help keep the steel wool from being too aggressive. Just about anything should work. I have used light mineral oil too. It all works.
Nice trip to Lee Valley Mike. I am glad I cannot just stop by all the time, but I can spend the whole day in there. It is a fun place. Is the nylon strap for clamping or cargo? When it comes to small stuff like boxes I love using tape for my clamps. If your joinery is tight and everything is straight and square it does not take a lot to hold a small box or odd shaped item together. I am curious what is in the wood cases. More router bits?

some cool looking material for scales.

Can't wait to see that Tally Ho shaving, Andrew.

Just showed in the mail, and I'm excited.

Tally Ho Adamantine Edge. Ground very much like a W&B FBU, very beefy but very thin near the edge. Shoulderless, and slightly over 8/8. I was hoping the scales would be good to go, but the crack at the wedge is right through and will eventually fall apart. Excited about this one!

Gorgeous blade Andrew - will look awesome...can't wait to see it all finished up.

This lot showed up in the mail today. Two of the razors have some potential for restoration. The top one labeled G C Co Germany appears to be a low quality razor, but is in almost new shape. The second one is a W H Morley & Sons Clover Brand that looks like it will clean up nicely. The third one is a Frederick Reynolds that also looks like it will clean up nicely. The last one is a George Wostenholm & Son Pipe razor that has lots of hone wear.
This was one of those deals where it happened to pop up with what I thought was a ridiculously low BIN and I jumped on it minutes after it was listed. I'm very happy with the potential here.

Looks like a nice and large haul Brian. I think you must have quite a large to be worked on pile at this time. :-)

Nice haul of blades Mr Chick, and is that tartugo scale material there Pete? A good faux tortoise that stuff is..
Thanks for the tips on the clamping Shaun. Is indeed a strap clamp I bought for that box I'm building. Will try the tape on the joints as I have seen that used to prevent glue splotching as well.
In the wooden boxes are end mills. 1/8-1/2" in round and flat varieties.

They came from a tool shop, not Lee Valley, but I got them in the same trip for use on both the engraver, and for some milling on the lathe.
