Thread: Where should I begin?

Great advice here thanks guys thank you.. How would one attempt to remove the frame? There aren't any screws like I have seen on other framebacks.

I only have a couple of framebacks, and only one of those seems to be removable so I'm about as far from an expert as can be, but the one that comes off just slides right off towards the toe. No screws or anything. The other one ain't going anywhere!

Yes, they can be on quite solidly, esp the steel type as there may be rust underneath. light tapping toward the toe with a brass punch at the top,tang end of the spine with the toe on a wooden block. A penetrating oil soak will help. If it does not come off easily, I would forgo that. Damage might result if you push the issue!

Just my 2ct, but if you want to learn about razors, do the first ones by hand, using only sandpaper. Look at the handsanding guide in the wiki.
Powertools + razor + beginner = disaster.
This is a lesson that many have learned and posted about in this forum.

A serious +1 for this

That blade should clean up nicely only doing only hand sanding. Find a really junk blade to practice on if you are going to use power tools

I'll attempt to take of the frame, but if I can't I'm not too worried. Probably starting tomorrow I'll keep you all posted!

Tape the edge with a few layers before attempting. willya? I don't want to hear of you cutting yourself!
