Those are pretty good for a first try! You should be pleased! :beer1:
I am pleased, but next time will be better ;)
1 down umpteen to go
Not bad at a all, how does feel when shaving that is the main bit,
if it feels good it's a definite success
Job well down and now the learning curve increases again LOL
Looks good!! My first attempt is coming soon, I hope I do nearly as well!
Good looking Whipped Dog brush on that stand, too.
Good job.
I find especially when beginning, use vintage scales as a pattern for length, width and thickness. There was a reason they made them the way they did.
Pin them up with screws and bolts and try stropping with them. For me stropping is where the rubber meets the road. Then experiment and make adjustments.
Keep at it, nice work.
