my fixer upper

well at the midmo meet i was lucky enough to receive my first strop from nun2sharp. the one he gave me was a bit bet up so i took some time and fixed it up a bit so that i could get a bit more use out of it.

all in all im really happy with it. thanks again kelly

Very nice job Kelly

now tell us how you cleaned the linen and the hanger

kelly gave me the strop i did the work. the hanger was done with some emery paste and a dremel and the cloth was put in a rubbermaid bow and cleaned with gain. took about 2 days then i stuck it between 2 pieces of board and let it dry flat.

then jballs918 the question is for you

:thinking:Hey thats mine! I want it back!:rant: Great job, I hope you enjoy it and dont forget the deal, when you get a good one you have to PIF this one to another noob.

EDIT: BTW, hows it working for you?

its works great, it sharpens my little genco quite well. and yes i remember, that is the only that if something is given it must also be passed.

Jason
that is great work

Did you do any scrubbing on the cotton/linen with a soft brush or cloth, or did you just let it soak?

Thanks,

Kevin
