Thread: What are you working on?

8 year old camera 8mp - Bought in 2008 as a spare when I rode to Milwaukee for the Harley 105th Anniversary in case my previous one went out. Previous one (5mp) still works.

New 20mp with WiFi but I have to use a cable because Canon hasn't made the software compatible to the new Apple OS yet.
I love it!

Have been to all the big 5 year Harley events ,, did you make the Kid Rock concert up there ?

Now thats sharp....[emoji482]
Literally speaking.
Nice save on the etching too.[emoji6]
I take, the tape worked well for you?
Did yoy use a dremmel or by hand?
Any sanding?

Again, very lucky with this one. I didn't do any sanding, just polishing and the pivot seems to be free from rust as well. Put a piece of scotch tape over the gold etch and traced it out. removed it and cut it out with my Olfa knife. Reapplied the tape over the etch and went to town with some Flitz. I seemed to have misplaced my Mothers mag polish, I find it's a bit more aggressive than Flitz but on this one, Flitz did the job just nicely. I got lucky again with a bit of pitting in the middle near the edge. At one point I thought the pitting was going to screw the whole project over but it was shallow and I was able to hone past it.

Oh and all by hand. I don't own a dremmel but have thought maybe I should pick one up. could come in handy with some projects.

STOP IT!!! Mis-Placing crap is MY TRICK!!!

hehehe, Nice work on that razor my friend

Thanks Roy. I'm terrible for misplacing things, but it's only because I'm very unorganized. For the longest time I couldn't find my wifes, grandfathers 4 oz ball peen hammer I use to repin razors. I love that hammer, and had to buy a new one to replace it. I needed one desperately. Of course, I did 1 re pin on a razor and found my good one in my girls toy chest. Probably the first place I should have looked.

So I have cleaned one razor and honed 4 to-day. Ready for some stropping and shaving.
The one I cleaned is pretty cool. It will be for SOTD tomorrow, before football!

At least you have 'Munchkins' All I have to blame are 'Gremlins'.

I'd picked up a nice little bench top drill press that according to the reviews has very little run-out and I'd put it together and I love it! Went to use it yesterday and I'll be damned if I could find the key for the chuck that came with it! I found one that would kind of work and got by. Today I looked in the exact same drawer in my tool box and it was right there!

Damn Gremlins!!!

I'll be keeping an eye for it Tom! I'll be posting this WH Morley in mine tomorrow as well.

Guess I should hone one of the six I did this week, for SOTD tomorrow.
After I thaw out from ice [emoji476]
Maybe the W&B

Beautiful razor! Lord knows I could never outwork you, outback.
I suspect I may outclass your ass tomorrow!
I can only try!
