It is not a finish becouse I do not have a nikel nits and i must use super glue for paint.

Nice work PR100. I have a couple GD's. I may have to give this a try.

I have been working on hand plane restoration. Today I worked on two rusty Stanley's, a type 9 6C and a type 11 5C.

From what I can see, all looks very nice! Any chance of a 'Before' Pic

The new owner of the tools and I spent the day using them to build a blade speed increasing pulley ratio unit for his riding mower. Milling key-ways, drilling large holes, And having a wondrous time figuring out order of operations from his sketches. He is a natural for cleanliness also without being a pain!
And I have the Key when i wish to use the equipment. This gentleman has been of great service to me for many years and he already has the engineering and hacking touch!

Razor stuff again soonish....

Unfortunately I did not think to take a before picture

I decided to post a picture after thinking about this rabbit hole. A few months ago I decided to buy a used plane to make razor scales, now they are multiplying faster than my razors.

Richard I am sorry we have not been neighbors. I would have loved a chance to learn just a little of what you know, working side by side. However I am very happy that you have a wonderful relationship with your neighbor. It is all looking pretty win win to me.

Looks like we need to add a new 'AD' here at Straight Razor Place. It should be PAD;

Plane Acquisition Disorder.
