Thread: What are you working on?

Let me know how they look in a few weeks after you pin those scales. All but one of mine, have cracks in the finish now.
Liked using it. It was simple, and fast, with a great looking shine. But quit using it, since seeing the cracks.

Will do sir.

Can I have one of your big razors?[emoji12]

Looks like Andrew has been afflicted with the same illness that MikeB52 and I have come down with!

Nope not going to share.

Har! I just gave my yard a shave. It finally stopped raining for now so I got 'er done for a couple days. More rain on the way!

Getting ready to make another brush for another customer in Teak this time! Also finishing up a set of buffalo horn scales for a re-stored razor I had sent to Bob Keyes to restore.

Thanks for rubbing it in[emoji12] Nice razors!

Finishing Sundays venture.
A 5/8 Wade & Butcher's,
Blank for concaving.

It was pretty rough. Lots of rust . started at it minimally, then to wet/dry paper. After reaching 400 in paper I said hell with this, and reached for the dremmel , and the 600 greaseless. Removed quite a bit of the pitting, but a lot remains. Then smoothed, and gave the blade a somewhat satin appearance, with a scotchbrite wheel.
The tang was done with 600 wet/dry, and steel wool.
Polished with Never Dull & Cr/Ox.

Now I get to find out how much I'm going to lose, on the hones.

Good thing to save, outback!
Some razor history there.

Imagine how many got 'concaved' and have another name on them.

You might (or I can!) see that the tang was left thick and a bit rough for the purpose.

Pretty cool!
