    That's some mighty fine work Mike.

    You had me with the shell casings.

    If a regular factory looks like my lil shop of horrors, we’z in trouble, hehe. But thanks Tom.
    As I sift sort and choose stuff to try to turn, ideas like the bullet razors sort of just connect and fortunately I have the tools and tech now to try to mix it up some.
    I’m thinking a brush, razor and stand combo should be possible if I incorporate the lather blaster design into the fray as well..
    Just need to mix up some clear alumilite and pour some casts..
    Maybe add some antler and horn into the mix, not sure yet..

    The blade is superb Tom! The scales remind me of the old chain gangs in the 1930's at Huntsville.

    I have an identical blade at home in patriotic scales....Only a CMon Blackie.
    Same line, same razor. Ellicottteville razor.
    I feel the red, white, and blue scales will be best for the Top Flight and the black and white striped scales would become the Blackie.
    I will seek advise in the morning?

    Had a chance while my dad was in hospital to re glue a bow that delaminated .
    Used a marine epoxy called G flex. Pretty impressed . So far 70 shots & still holding together on a #60 shorty.

    I'm leaving all the over run till I'm sure it will last & maybe not even then
