    Stop it! You're starting to sound like me!

    That crap happens to me on a near daily basis.

    Just today I had to do the Bi Annual clean out of the bathroom sinks popup and once I had it all cleaned out and went to put it back together do you think I could find that damn little spring that holds the rod in place??? NOOOOOOOOOOoooooo! After at least a 20 minute search I found where I'd laid it down! Seeing as it's stainless steel it blended in with the stainless steel kitchen sink.

    At least it didn't fall down the garbage disposal.

    It;s not your fault. It was invisible to your man-brain.

    That is a nice razor, David. I just rescaled a Wosty, and have a couple more in the to-do box. Wosty IXL's and Pipes, WB's, Ern Ators, Boker anything-just send 'em to me.

    First box out of special wood. Cedar. Guess its not really special, but I wanted to go with something a little softer. So, for your approval...

    I made it so I could put hinges on it and still open without hitting the rock. But I'm not sure I want hinges. What do you think? It's only for storage.
    Strategic put the little knot in the middle. What the hell I figured.
    It's just Sharpening, right?

    I love cedar.
    I would be more inclined to use magnets and not hinges.
    PS.
    Nice box.

    Thanks Aaron. I am debating whether to rescale this one or just clean up the existing scales.

    I haven’t made scales from scratch before, so that kind of appeals to me. I only have hand tools and a Dremel so that might be a bit of a challenge.
