What are you working on?

Nice fit Tom. The shape of that blade looks a lot like the one i tried to put in straight scales. Downward tang and low tail.

Welllll. Would'nt you know it...Change of plans! ;)

Since the Kaufmann has the maker's name on the scales only, reckon I will disassemble it's original scales and see if I can straighten and get the scratches out and reassemble.
Otherwise, it would be a no-name Solinger.

For the Octopus's Garden, I have chosen a spanking NOS 15/16 Herder 76.
Another 2-fer! :beer1:

Scales are in mineral oil overnight. Next to get some pin-holes drilled and procure/make a wedge....

Nice combination Tom.
Those scales would make just about any blade look better!

Tom IF you had a TV show, I think it might go like this:

Next week on sharptonn's How we pin scales Tom will be pinning a Solinger razor into some custom made scrimshaw bone scales.

But when the show would start it might go like this:

Due to difficulties beyond our control Tom will be pinning that Solinger into a vintage set of Kaufmann scales. We apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

:rofl2::roflmao

I do like your choices and am looking forward to seeing everything pinned up. :tu

I reckon that is how I roll, Roy...I never see it til it's right before me.
Then...I keep looking! :rofl2:

I often begin with one and wind-up with 2 or 3! :shrug:

Nothing wrong with that my friend, nothing wrong at all--:y

After the picture of the window cleaned with Goo Gone I would expect a program containing the phrase, "But wait! There's More!!":roflmao

Couple guys on a local forum are interested in straight shaving. Made this bridle strop for one of them. It isn't a Miller, but considering it is free I think he will be happy with it!

What wedge is going in those scales Tom?

Your guess is as good as mine! :rofl2:
