Thread: What are you working on?

I got outta bikes, before it was too late, and I screwed myself up doing it.
Must have got the idea from my pops, and the stories he told me of his days on the steel horse.

Like your Anchor BeJay!

Thanks! It's the Wester Bros. trade mark. I'm actually considering getting a tattoo based on it. Not sure yet because I already have an Eagle Globe & Anchor tat. Another anchor and I may not be able to swim anymore.

Started sanding down the Joseph Rodgers.

All has to be done by hand as I don't have a dremel.

Cleaning up two nice 5/8 ths. razors.
#1. A Sta-Sharp
From F. Koeller & Co.
Ohligs, Germany

#2. A Shumate's Peacemaker.
St. Louis USA.


Shout works really well on scales.
Spray it on and let it sit for 15min. then scrub with a toothbrush

You'll love both of those Mike. I have each. You'll love the Sta-Sharp a lot. I have a Sta-Sharp that I was the only bidder on it & it was at the right time, awhile back. It had signs of rust on the blade & I kept looking at it closely. I determined it was surface rust & when I got it, I used WD-40 & 0000 steel wool & it came right off so I got a smokin' deal for 24.99 plus shipping. Got the coffin with it! The Peacemaker is a fantastic one too.

Mike, I want to thanks you for all the quality posts and all the progress pictures you do. It takes a bit of extra time to take the pictures and make the posts. I tend to be fairly lazy in that regard. I truly appreciate your contributions. You are a restoring machine, but you are also a quality poster. Thanks.

Hell yeah! The Outback is cool!

It says on the sta-Sharp razor box , that the steel is english steel.... But its made in Germany.

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!!!

Whoa right there. The Gremlins are very active at MY house & are breeding. At least they dont hide my razors or hones YET.
They are rather devious and draconian in their practices. Mine stole silver peening pin yesterday and then put it in a kitchen drawer today. After I reordered more of course.
