Thread: What are you working on?

The ying yang thing seems difficult.
Still....looks great to my eye!

The ying yang is certainly the challenge by the looks of it. I have no idea how the imaging translates and can offer zero support. I am however absolutely certain you will figure it out.

Looking good, Mike. I know what ya mean about others equipment. Always looking ahead, like a soldier with the 1000 yard stare.

I would love to get Charlie's logo made into a small pendant / keychain thingamajig since each of the symbolic elements he used mesh well with my unconventional nature. Love the yin-yang, the spazola-factor, and his use of 8 blades. A lucky number if you ask me. And really appreciate the simplistic nature of his logo overall.

Crazy 8s!

The Wolf looks like a brand new razor Mike. Nice job on that on. And the logo is coming along. Its beyond my understanding on how its done. At one time i looked into on of these lazor cutting machines. Until i seen the price. Id habe to sell a lot of work for years before it would pay for itself. So that dea got squizhed quickly.

Still a very nice detailed job.

Truly is the hardest part. Losing side wall of eye trying to get depth.
This whole image is really tiny now, maybe 7 mm total, so it’s fussy. The eye is maybe 1/16th in total.

Making some pendants or fobs,, that’s a neat idea.. might cut some of these up and send them along so Charlie can use or toss..his call, hehe.
At 1” or greater finished image, the challenges I am having now, I would not have.
Cheers men.

Always silky smooth, close shaves. Something about the steel, IMO.

If you have honed them with 3 layers of tape, do you strop any differently? Or use only hanging strops since they have more give to them?

Charlie's logo is killer.
I've even thought about it as a tattoo.

It will be very interesting to see what you do with this.
I'll get in the line for anything that is produced.

In my case, Hanging strops accomodate a triple taped razor no problem in the shave den.(without tape)
Board strops, on the other hand, I personally only use during the honing sessions so the spine is still taped up.

Could you use the laser engraver to cut bolsters? That could be cool, maybe some real thin nickel silver sheet or brass then CA it to the scales and finish over the top?
