    Thanks for showing the flower collar, Jim. I'll have to keep an eye peeled for some of those. I need brass ones.

    Ummmm..... I pretty much live in the middle of nowhere, Geezer. Not many craft places where I am at. I have a 2 hour drive to a bigger city (Regina, SK) or a 3 1/2 hour drive to another, Saskatoon... for any kind of variety of crafts stores. We do have a Wal-mart, Canadian Tire, and a few other box stores....which the selections are "not too great". I guess I'll keep hunting online (I'll look at that suggestions uyou posted, Geezer) for the time being or maybe find someone who makes them ( I know....good luck....lol)

    Thanks again guys!
    Is it over there or over yonder?

    First Time Trying a New Type of 'Pinning'.

    While my pinning of razors has progressed to where I"m fairly confident there is a pinning that I've been really reluctant to have a go with.

    Well as I've posted before I've been collecting some vintage F. Dick Steels for my kids and some vintage Henckels knives for them and myself and some have needed some 'Help'.

    I also already possess some heritage knives and other kitchen utensils that need new handles. Some are just items that with a little loving care would continue to serve not only me but once I'm gone one of my children.

    Here's a simple serving fork that was my father's oldest sister's. I have no Idea what it cost her but to me it's 'Priceless'.

    As you can see the old wooden handle is broken and needs replaced.

    Well I've never dealt with something like that but I did some research and found that a thing called a 'Cutlery Rivet' had been used to secure the wood to the fork.

    I recently acquired a Henckels serrated knife to clean up and use as a bread knife but the original cutler rivets were 'Semi missing'. I got the knife for a very reasonable price and the handles were still secure but I thought what the hell! I'll see what I can do to remove the broken rivets and replace them.

    I used my Harbor Freight table top drill press to drill out what remained of the factory rivets so ---------

    Sorry about the Tale of Two Cities but here's my first attempt at using Cutler Rivets

    I didn't mess up the original countersunk holes that's just the way they were. However I'm Very Pleased with how it came out.

    I will say that I found that by grinding the ends of the male shaft to a steep taper made installing much easier!

    Also as my friend Glen says when pining a razor it's 'tap tap tap' with installing these cutler rivets it's BANG BANG BANG!!!!

    Well off to work on cleaning up the Boars Nest!

    Trying to rescue some scales on a Wade & Butcher FBU using Milliput. They need a good oil soaking, but I figured I better get the putty to adhere first. Name:  image.jpg

    I'd really like to see how that finishes up. If only they made a dark brown of some sort.
