You and me both on the scars Mike. Hands are our most valuable and useful tool. Without them most of the rest are useless. I can't even count all the scars on mine and don't even remember where most of them came from.
You are far and away more dedicated to production than I am. Hopefully after new years when all the boxes from the Christmas stuff vacate my shop I'll be able to get back in there and actually use it. Right now I am kind of a bedoine looking for a corner to settle in. I have my van to do bench work in and I have a drill press in there and hand tools but I can't use any of my saws, sanders, grinders or buffers. I can still do hand sanding but that is the extent of it right now.
I'm with you on sandpaper. I never go below 320 on blades; only on scales and even then rarely and never below 200 then.Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend. PR 27:17

Putting together that canvas strop for our friend rickytimothy.
Sewing 3 layers of this stuff is not exactly a walk in the park but once I got rolling it wasn't so bad. I just need to wash it again and iron it flat then coat one side with some CR/OX paste an it will be off to the wonderful limbo land of USPS.Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend.

Honed and test shaved the Parker Pr after some light scale work. Someone decided to use a 1/8" bolt for the pivot and gouged it to hell so put a little work filling the hole so I could use regular washers and pins. Then just filled and cleaned up the gouges with superglue mixed with black plastic. Came out great, and most importantly in my book, she shaved amazing. The scales aren't perfect but I'm gonna remake them I think anyway and transfer the Parker Razors logo over to the new ones. I have some cool scale material coming so have some ideas churning.

I'm bored, so decided to try my hand at making a little wooden hone box. No idea how I'm gonna chisel out the little nook for the nagura stone, but darn it I am committed to this little thing. I'm not using anything special for the wood, but I've also never made one of these things before, so figured I'd use some scrap to see if it comes out ok. If I like it maybe I'll stop by my local hardwoods place here in town and see if they got anything a little nicer to use. There's also my favorite little Jnat in the background that sure could use a nice home. Cheers, thanks for viewing!!

Well my son and his wife were here for New Years Treats and I showed him the brush. I had it shampooed, conditioned and bloomed. He approved. He could actually feel the difference in the weight!
So I'm pleased, I'll give it a go in a few days.
Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdins cave of 'stuff'.

Thanked: 4828Those chisels don’t look very sharp, so if you managed to make that box with those chisels that’s pretty good. If you are thinking about hardwood you’ll need a real good edge.
Nice stand Roy. The brush looks good too.It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

The 1/2 inch chisel is shaving sharp, not sure how well you can actually see the edge on it. The one inch is one of my junk tools, so pretty sure I like chiseled steel with it or something. Technically all my tools are 'junk' tools, they were hand me downs and garage sale finds. Thanks for the help though Rez, sure is appreciated.
