    Thank you! A friend said they looked like a swimming otter; pin is eye. Or, tonight "one looks like the otter." Only had the blades and was hoping to find 5 more, over 5 years, no more, but they are scarce.

    A pair is more practical, Richard! Lots less work!

    What wood is that?

    I ordered a set of those bolts the other day and it said one set left. Wanted two sets. Starting to wonder now if it always says one set left.

    Trying to finish up these scales. I think its Rosewood and the finish im trying is polycrylic. Dries much faster so i thought id give it a try.

    A big change is going on in my life right now, so i will just try to keep going and hope for the best. Talk about it another day but razors keep the sanity in check.
    It's just Sharpening, right?

    The post, too many characters/ pictures with too much vertical pixel count. they stretched the page to a point we may no longer post likes or thanks. You did a nice job on the brush!

    I bought the one set and PM'd the guy with the mock-up collars and asked for 6 more sets as I wanted to pass some around.
    He actually made up some more and I paid him through Paypal.
    He sent all at the same time.

    I just got an email from Sorin (the Ebay Seller) and I bought the last set of the mini bolts and he won't have any more until around April. He just got out of the hospital--he had pneumonia--and he says its too cold to work in his shop.

    I didn't ask about his supply of washers etc.

    Just thought I'd share.

    I wondered why he had no washers and collars on. April will be here soon.
    Tell him the best with the recovery, Roy!
