Thread: What are you working on?

Tonight is honing 101.
A new member to the forum ( ChefErick ) is coming over for some help.
And close friend who is a chef as well, is coming to suprise Erick. ( I found out they used to work together)
Should be a good night, full of kitchen stories and laughs.

Cheferick has been sent home with alot of new knowledge and understanding of honing, the importance of magnification, and his TI razor honed to pefection.

He had it honed by a company, who sharpens medical instruments..... Guess are razors are sharper, when we get done with them [emoji1]
But hes new to it, and has seen the right path to enlightenment.
Hes a great guy thats been bitten by the same bug as the rest of us.

Its goona be fun, watching and helping his abilities grow, cause he'll be back for more, since we live quite close to eachother.
Also found he's been trespassing on some of my hunting grounds, so I might as well take him hunting with me sometime, and help him find some good vintage steel to add to his collection [emoji6]

It feels good to pass the ball.
Would hate to take it with me when I'm gone. But its not all my knowledge.... It's all of ours, here on the forum combined, I just did it by a one on one. So thanks to all out there, for the info I have passed on tonight with cheferick. [emoji482]

Good job Mike! You're doing a great job. Keep up the good work buddy.

Mike,
Thank you for making time to help with my honing! That TI shaves great now,THANK YOU!!!! When I got Home I couldn't wait till morning to shave so I prepped up and started in on what became a wonderful shave. I cant wait till my honing comes close to the edge you laid on that razor. I'm looking forward to getting the hones we talked about, they really felt smooth, and less waiting to hone with them. I'm still going to work with the coticule but I think it will take time to understand how both of them work and feel. Natural stones are a different animal the the synthetic. Ill keep in touch, having someone this close and more interested in straights then I am is great. I learned a lot in the six or so hours we talked, can't wait to learn more. Mike you trully know your craft, Thank you again for sharing your knowledge

One to one is how I learn best. unfortunately I didn't now anyone in my area. It was YouTube videos, this forum and learning from past mistakes. Good man being so generous with your time.

A little more progress, I have set myself a three week timescale to finish all. Currently halfway through the rough grinding 40grit belt, onwards and upwards.

I really like the look of the one on top[emoji106]

Man i can get a grinder but i dont have a place to put it - i have few disk sanders , beltsanders and buffing weels
I must go to my frend wokshop to make my self some razor blanks on the grinder

I decided to slightly change the design of the box.
