Great score Outback.
That chopper is certainly impressive.
Here is the type of drill I'm talking about--> Combo Drill & Countersinks | Travers Tool Co., Inc. They work great to start a hole and won't wobble. Once the hole is started you can finish drilling with a regular jobber bit. The drill size you would want for a pin is a #1........my bad on my previous post.
Wade &Butcher is back together.
First off.... Apologies to Tom and John, you were right...[emoji17]
After tearing it apart, and giving the scales a good cleaning, I realized they are bone. "DAMMIT "!!
But all was a total success.
Scales made it through with no cracks or me breaking them while pinning it back together, used origanal collars (only the outer ones of the double collars that were originally on it) with washers under them. And origanal wedge
I cut the rust from the blade with a SE razor blade, and buffed the blade with emry compound, iron oxide, then chromium oxide .
Then polished with Flitz,then Maas. All done using the dremmel and various wheels.

Also did the no name razor from my second haul of razors.
Cut rust away with SE.
Removed remaining rust with muratic acid and a wire toothbrush, rinsed thoroughly, dried, then across the board with the greaseless compounds, 80-600grt. Then hand sanded with 600 & 1000 wet dry paper.
Then the emry, iron oxide, chromium oxide. And polished the same as above.
Sand scales w/1000grt wet dry and buff with starbrite plastic scratch remover. Collarless pinning as it was originally.

That Wade and Butcher looks sweet. I hope your no name gives as great a shave as mine. My no name has no rust, just a very smooth gray patina. Polishing it would kill its character. It's next in my rotation for Wednesday.
Wow! Nice Outback! When I come to Ohio we will have to get together and do some honing. I always like seeing how others do it.
Damn, brother, you’re making the rest of us look like slackers.
At the rate you’re going, were going to have to change you screen name to “Genco”, 6 thousand razors per week…
Nice work, I’d take that bone Wade Butcher, any day…
