Thread: What are you working on?

G nite Marshal. [emoji42]

Dang..!!!!
All kinds a good stuff going on, myself... Nice and slow. [emoji18] doing my best on what's left off this thing. Making it look nice, and hone right, has been something. Taken down to 400 now, it awaits the 600 greaseless.

Its nice to see the edge laying flat again.

Got the pits out of the spine, looks nice!

So I got my Geneva clauss cleaned, pin snugged up and honed. It really took a nice edge and cleaned up pretty well. I left some character because everything else was in too decent of shape to mess with it.
I only took this one up to 8k, really for one reason. Wanted to see how well my new stones and I are getting on. I'd say well edge is a mirror and no prep cold water shave was great.
Wonderful works fellas keep it up!

There's been quite a bit of metal removed from both sides already, so I was relieved the spine came clean quickly.

You got a Clauss there and a Geneva box. Don't try to confuse us!

going slowly...

i just need a more powerfull bench grinder, my 600W gets too hot, too early (about in a hour).


if someone has any bench grinder advise (from europeen source), i will appreciate.

I have a cheap one that I bought new and it gets hot too. I think if you want to get some serious use out of them you need to spend big money on the name brand units. I have two and switch them back and forth and it is never an issue. That and I do mostly hand work so they see little use.

No worries, Bruv....
Read this thread in it's entirety. Then, you will know half of everything on American razors.
More info on Geneva Cutlery and Clauss than you might care to know as well!

So a test-fit on this thing looks pretty good. Closes to the inside a bit, but notsobad.



Mocked-up the top with a few little nuts and proceeded to pin the bottom....
Nobody seems to show how they juggle pins and multiple collars.
My way is to use an o-ring like a rubber band, remove the screw, and insert a rod.
I install the collars on one side, scotch tape them down, and use the rod to go through the tape. Do the same on the other side. That way, I can remove and reinstall my pin without disturbing anything as-sizing it. I wanted a bit too much of the bronze rod poking-out as I wanted to pile it up on the steel collars.



Since a pile of peening would be required for the desired effect, I annealed the ends of my sized rod to make it go easier.



I peen it with the tape on till close to the end and remove the tape and o-ring to continue.
Looks fine to me..



Same deal up top, turned out fine. The bronze will turn golden after a while and stand out even more.
Gentlemen, I give you Razorfeld's Rattler 2.0!
