Thread: What are you working on?

My main thing is why do you need Photobucket if you keep the file on your computer.

sadly enough a lot of web sites don't have photo storage on their servers and you can only post pictures on those sites if you store them on a remote site. I can't be bothered. If I can't upload them then I don't post on those sites. I like that feature of this site and it os one of those many little reasons why I hang here more than anywhere else.

While it's not razor related here's what I've been working on.

My buddy Ski has been giving me all kinds of shite for wearing a jacket that I had while working for my former employer as it had 'their' logo on it. So I picked up a Harley Davidson Patch and some iron on 'glue sheet' to put it over the old company logo. All went well until the protective cloth I had over the patch moved and the hot iron melted some of the jacket.

So I picked up another HD patch and went about covering the Aw Crap! Even though the lady at Jo Ann's swore that the 'glue sheet' wouldn't let loose in the washer or dryer, I'll be sewing them both on tomorrow.



I decided to show what I use for an iron. Yes I do use it for clothing! No reason that after a hundred plus years it shouldn't still do a very nice job.

Yes always sew them, they will blow off if you don't. Tc

I'm all over it my friend!

While some may scoff I learned how to hand sew by the age of 8 and I also learned to use a sewing machine at about the same time. Well at least I used to be able to use a sewing machine, I'm sure these newer ones would drive me nuts.

Sewing by hand doesn't seem to change any.

Maybe switching browsers could fix it for you too? I hope something works for you because you always have cool razors to share!

I've been having problems with it ever since they upgraded to operating system. I'll fix it. I think I will have to re-install it.

You're right Martin which is why I like to upload directly from my computer.

This is true, but also loading photos to a sites storage uses their bandwidth. This is the reason I load mine to another source.
And as said if you don't move the file or delete the photo it'll be there.I've got photos from over 5 years ago still posting on the bbq site

I have the same thing Roy. Mine are multi-purpose besides ironing. Three of them serve as door stops and one of them is on the window sill holding down an infernal roll up window shade.

Ok, I think it's as good as its going to get. I'm very pleased with how it's turned out. No power tools, no abrasives. Just some polish, steel wool, and elbow grease.

Prodigy
Blue it, buff it with steel wool and then wax it.
Important point, if you have never used bluing before, gloves and degreaser are the key.
I degrease with nail polish remover.
