    Large files work best but most files will work. I have shape a few things by putting them in a drill press and using a file. The spinning help to keep it all even and straight, or true. It’s a very good guggestion.

    Did you use lathe for the "head"?
    I have a three jaw chuck for my wood lathe but as the others have said a drill held in a vice would also work. As you can see all i had on hand as far a piece of metal was a bolt, so that's used for the punch.( i shaped it with a file.)

    after shaping the "punch" i made a initial punch in the lead and then drilled a hole in it for a centering pin.

    Maybe something like that would work to get the damage out.
    That looks like it might work. Thanks for the idea.

    A small 'Dapping Block and Punch Set' could also be used after making the initial washer/something like this however a bigger set doesn't cost that much more;

    Looks like something for the future if I start doing a higher volume. Just want to see if I can make them right now.

    Nice work Tom.
    I decided I was going to polish a turd and see how far I could get fixing it. LOL.

    You can see it the beginning pic the scales had been whittled down at the pivot end to fit the razor, The hone wear is beyond help, the edge was abused badly with the tip worn and a chip plus the shape on the heal. Poor little razor

    After about 6 hours of work reshaping and sanding and polishing, This is the outcome. Now I put the edge on a DMT with 3 layers of tape so to reshape the bevel and get it ready, but it hasn't seen the stones yet... I think with a couple layers of tape all the ugly should be banished and it will have a decent bevel once again. I hope!

    I even put extra time in getting Austins pins just right. I think I polished this turn back to life. Earned my wings on this one!
    My fingers ache and are going to be screaming at me tomorrow but I think it was worth it in the end. What do you know, I do know how to sand a blade when I put my mind to it.
