Thread: What are you working on?

Nice project Mike. I know you will make is beautiful once again.

I've been working on CB Radio repairs all day today. Just got it all put away so no pics. Most folks wouldn't understand what they were looking at anyway. No dig on folks, just one electronic part looks a lot like another unless you know. The last one had been ran with no antenna connected and it fried the Audio transformer, Final and driver, A capacitor, a diode and a resister. 36 bucks in parts and 40 bucks in labor. The radio cost 100 bucks new but folks love there radios so I keep busy. Helps to off-set the costs of my Shaving Hobby. Well, A little bit anyway.

You are right Jerry. I have seen the guts many times, it’s just bits to me.

But they are colorful bits.

Those Morley’s are nice razors Outback. I’ve worked on a few and still have on to one of them.

Well, I'm trying to catch up. I haven't been feeling up to snuff. I did do something plus the Ivory is about completely clean. It was actually looking good & I held them at the light & one you can barely see some of the stain but you have to really look for it. I could have put it together & no one would have noticed with the wedge behind it. It has to be right so I'm still soaking it but it is looking better, almost gone.

Geez...................I was having issues uploading pics plus other things going on. I called Apple Support & got 'er going now. I have to do it a different way. Let's see if this will work. This is the razor that had the wide toe:

Whoa! Nice, Steve!

Its in great shape, with light to moderate hone wear, and some light rust around the pivot, area. Nothing some "Blade Bling", and a rag, won't cure.

The blade was naked, when I found it in the wilds. So I dug up a set of scales that fits it very well, but needs someone's initial removed from it. A clean, sand, and fill with CA, will remedy that in short order. A search through the used collar pile, should yield a match, to the ones on the wedge pin.

The worst of the rust.

A nice Morley is something I have yet to find. I have had a few, notsonice.
Shaved a treat! Great razors. I have half-scales and full ones in the classic black, Mike.
Let me know..I have a blade here for you anyway.

Thanks fellas. I already started to put a bevel on it but need to stop & unpin it because the scales are warped & it won't close w/o manipulating the blade some. I should have done a before & after shot. I can still do that later.

It takes a bit of patience to get them right. I have a 14 that was down on the toe and tried to lift the heel to match. It is much better but not perfect. Fat toe no more on that one Steve.
