Thread: What are you working on?

Get well soon Mike T. And the Herder looks like a winner to me. Its too bad that a blade like that being NOS and being broken. Id be happy to make a shorty of it.

MGM, good luck on the carving. I dont have carving abilities. I tried and destroyed a set of bone blanks/scales i got from Shaun. I tried it and its just not something this HAM Fisted guy can do very well.

What ive started doing lately with razors is going thru my collection and repairing so of the uglyness i did when i first started. Checking and fixing bevels so my edges are true, keen and comfortable. Replacing pins to get a cleaner peen and centering blades better. Its going to take a while but maybe in the spring i will be happy and caught up.

The broken Herders were sold on the bay a while back, can't remember but I think from the same people who got ahold of those NOS Herders some of you guys have been buying.

The cool thing is, IMO, that these blades were at one point perfect, and then before they made it out of the factory... accidents happened. And they sat with no hope for years on end..
Until Gatling-Gun Jerry gave hope where there was none..
Hehehe

Gave a few away, still have plenty, and more to make.

Those look great Mike. A few are hard to see where they are shortened. Nice.

Mike T. I will do my best to make it shave again. And it would be my first Herder. Ive been wanting to get one but never thought this would be how it would come to be. If you need my addy just let me know. PM headed your way...

What will be odd is my shorty, Jim Slick (blade length 1.75) is made with the same scale material as the set i just made and broke.

Here's one of my favorite shorties. Henckels blade with reclaimed horn scales. Silver hardware, walrus tusk 2nd dentine layer wedge.
Left the scales with a worn vintage finish.

Not razor related, but didn't see other picture thread.

Daughter's cake last friday, 19th.

There is another thread entitled we have skills too. It is very random, non razor stuff. It’s fine here too though.
Nice cake job.

Did you make the fondant, josh.? My wife used to be a cake decorator.

Sorry! I didn't bake the cake. I usually don't post pictures of my daughter online, so I was just showing the cake from her party.
The ribbon on the cake in the first pic has the name of the Korean bakery. Not sure, but I believe it was a creme icing instead of fondant. Either way, they do great work.

Nice cake job.

The off topic anonymous thread is a great place for random things also.
