Thread: mycarver gets organized... finally

I've decided that mycarver is an alchemist. He has managed to turn wood chips and sawdust into steel, bone, ivory, celluloid, stone and hair of various types. I'm going to send him a pound of lead to see what he can do with it.

...gosh....

Just kidding, I'm just as bad, but couldn't resist .....

Some cast their bread upon the waters, others cast wider nets.

Knew I'd forget something.
Counter displays of full blade packs. Advertising etc.
Some of the boxes not only are complete but have the original shipping boxes as well.
Fun stuff.

Gee, Now I don't feel so bad about mi assemblage! Good on you!

Great collection, sir. Thank you for sharing.
Occasionally on TV you see antique collectors that have built model towns on "their back 40" complete with general store and service station. I wondered if any collector had ever built a barber shop. I think, mycarver, you could build a barber shop.

The room I'm planning for my home will be " kinda sorta " like that. I'm designing Mahogany cabinetry to house displays of various shaving items, etc. Sort of a old school " Gentlemans club" ( not the strip club kind) library , display type room. I'd love an old Barbershop Chair in there as well to be a chair to sit and read in.
Then too a couple of Wingbacks in deep Cordovan would be equally nice.
Darker lighting with highlights hitting some of the displays and razors. Mahaogany against hunter greens, burgundy color scheme with oriental style carpeting .
I have the idea in my head. Just have to build it. But doesn't my wife think she needs a kitchen first. Well I did buy all the appliances already. so i guess I'm committed.

When do you find time to sleep? That's an incredible bunch of everything. The word WOW falls a bit short of the mark here.

Jerry. What is this thing you call sleep? I'm self employed and I can't afford that luxury.
Between my full time job carving, taking care of the other houses and units I have and then the razor restos which at times is nearly full time I usually wrap up my day around 2-3:AM.

Guys just wrote back to me and say " Mark, your email came in at 2:30 !" some beyond that. Hey, they got it.

It's just lucky for me most times to make a guess as to what day it is. Seriously. I usually don't know. Or care.
Time is the most valuable commodity there is. I don't waste it. Too much I want to do.

That's a lot of beautiful razor but Is that gold dollar in the 7 day box?
