No such thing as too many for some....Check out Utopian's stash here..

And as I see and I agree, most of them are stored on edge.

Yep. I think thats what id like to get. So if someone out there has a yellow/green Echer about 3x8 and 3/4 thick they want to part with for 100 bucks let me know. Oh, and be sure its labeled and in the original wood box that is in perfect shape.
Than i woke up. Ha.

Lets not forget i got a spot for a Rezdog stone.

Why not?

Ever come across a deal that you know could be good, but that this misses will just not like?
Well, I’m there now and trying to hide the evidence.
My daughters ex fella’s dad is a storage locker warrior in his retirement and came across one loaded with pen paraphernalia and the like. Knowing I’m into that kind of woodwork he made me an offer for the entire lot. I declined, repeatedly as the price kept coming down since it is a boat load of pen making supplies. Like maybe 10000 kits like. And other stuff for razors, brush knots, mold making supplies, fishing lures, pepper mills, lathe chucks etc etc.. everything I already buy in small quantities. But a lot of.. see below.







And a couple lovely display boxes.


There is still this much more to get tomorrow at the guys shop and I have three days to store it all before ruth gets home.. hehe.
There are blanks with alligator jaw bones encased in them, 50000 yr old wood from Hawaii, and on and on..
Pretty psyched with the deal actually. Had to share.. cheers..

Wow! Some nice stuff, Mike!
(lotsa work, too! )

I expect nice gifts forthcoming?

Got my Balke, Suerth and Co razzer together. Did OK.
Some faux-pas shit on assembly with my head somewhere else..

Oh well!
It's all good and has a 1k bevel so far.

Pens for all, before they go completely out of style.
I feel like I just invested in Latin encyclopedias maybe, hehe.

But like you said, lots of work. Guaranteed rainy day projects for the rest of my life,,,

Are you of the belief that if you spread knowledge of this the Better Half will spread her displeasure?

If so, I hate to tell you that I don't believe that's the way it works! You're on your own, friend.

Wow, what a haul!!

The fountain pen case with the glass top is great for razor storage. I have two.

Enjoy!
