Thread: What are you working on?

Perfect for the 250/3000, and the 300 win mag.

I don't have a shop (at the moment) so I really can't work on anything...... Hoping soon to frame it all up and have a bigger shop than the last.

How bigs your shop going to be Andrew?
Downloaded some plans for a modest sized 12x16 workshed in my own yard.
Should be big enough for the coal forge, a couple benches and maybe a foot treadle.
All still to be built as well..

You done good, Phil! A Henckels 50 is the gold standard. Love mine!

Oh Mike that's going to be awesome if you start forging razors. I'll sit there and watch you all day. I watch tons of forging vids on the Tube and love it. Love the tv show too.

Shops going to be about 14x14 in the basement. The area was suppose to be a bedroom because of the big egress window for fire code, but that just means I'll have tons of natural light coming in. I have plans for proper ventilation so I can use epoxies and other smelly stuff.... No not pot, and I also want to make one of these

because I'm clogging vac filters like a bastard with the bench sander and lathe waste.

Might have to keep my eye out for one of those! I have a new fondness for Henckels razors. Only have 2 and they shave like lightsabers....

Thanks, I had hoped to clean it up and hone it tonight but the scales need a little work. It had a broken pin at the toe that needs addressing. Hope to have it done tomorrow.

Thanks, Phil. It is part of a dizzy set, I suppose.......http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...d-madness.html

I have always extolled the virtue of Henckels razors. The really old ones seem all but gone. They are awesome, BTW.
The more modern crop all seem great as well.
You cannot go wrong with them in good nick, IMO.
