Shop gets a facelift finally.
Evening gentlemen. Finally got around to gutting the shop and building a new L bench. 8'x6'.
Used some left over ash hardwood for the top.
Will have lots of room to set up my lathe finally!! As well as my belt sander, scroll saw, and a few other goodies I've been living with for far to long on little ad hoc tables that were lying around.
Can't wait till I'm done and turning out some brush and razor sets..
cheers."Depression is just anger,, without the enthusiasm."

Great pun. Can't believe I didn't work in into the title.

And this little rig I'm designing will be my power strop/belt sander when all is said and done.
90vdc direct drive, VFD controlled, reversible and I have a set of 3"and 4" contact wheels for her. I have some leather on order and will be making 2"x30" leather strop belts, as well as I had some 2"x30" custom sanding belts made up in the 280-1000 grit range.
Will be used for final polishing of razors during restoration as well as turning tool sharpening depending on the grit and the goals.
Now I need to find a bench top drill press to retire my old craftsman portable stand. It works, but is looking a little tired.
More to come when I have my super strop finished.
Cheers, and thanks for the compliments. I live in the cramped frozen garage for too long,, promised myself the razors would move indoors.."Depression is just anger,, without the enthusiasm."
