Thread: What are you working on?

We all have different sicknesses. I have enough material to make scales for hundreds of razors.

JRT. J.R Torrey........At least I think?

It may be TRS for Torrey Razor Strop?
That was the early name as that was the primary business before Turner came aboard with the razors.

Way to go Tom!!

And Andrew, looking forward to see this project move through it's paces.

I was once on an Auto show set up years ago. Got to be the Foreman of that crew because I was the only one who could figure out the metric to American conversion. Always had a calculator in my pouches. I'm good at math, but you can't afford to make mistakes when framing houses. Or setting up multi-million dollar car exhibits

We are an oddity here in the UK. Construction to my knowledge is metric, sipermarkets and most packaged weights are metric.

We measure driving distances in miles, and beer in pints. Milk is in pints and litres on most cartons I think, I still describe it in pints. In the butchers we still buy in lbs and ounces ��

I still measure in feet n inches for a lot but most people generally use cm and m.

Nice choice in swaps, Tom.

Myself.. I'm off work on Wednesday's at my new job, so I pulled out a 7/8 Wosty, that came in on a southerly breeze.





Got it tore down without a hitch, should keep me busy tomorrow

An Old regrind, Mike! Should make a fine one!
Saving the scales would be cool....I have another.....

Still on the boats?

Did everyone use the exact same string to hold scales together!?
That will be a nice one Mike.

Seems that is old fishing line from back in the day .

This is gonna be good!

I would love to see that old scale held back together with a little structural epoxy and some super fine wire, like piano wire. I think if any of us could pull that off it would be Outback.

Tom, I am always in awe of your scale inventory.

Another Wosty! I weep.................that it isn't mine.
