Thread: Show The World How You've Modified Your Tools To Work For What You Needed/Razors etc

Yep, good idea for our niche market. I tell you what I would have had a dozen for sale if they weren't being made. But , with them available for $20 I can't even think about it.
Great idea Geezer , I think I will drill a larger hole for disassembly. I have not heat treated it yet. I have a small 20lb bench anvil I have been using , this one will go on a new assembly bench I am building so can still drill and mod this one. I did coat it with anti scale and get it read to heat but its in stand by for now.

Here's another useful scrap made hootenanny . Just a little wrapped sand bag glued down to a piece of scrap hard board. I have a few of these in the shop. Very handy when you want to work on something small and odd shaped, not in a vice and without scratching. gets your work up off the bench a little. This one is my dirty one, I post these up because I found myself filing the tops of my clipped pins on mine yesterday. This one is a Crown Royal bag, fake suede.


And my clean pad is a piece of soft leather and plywood, no filing here. This one for scrimshaw and other clean work. The soft sand bag holds irregular shapes nicely for up close detail type work.



Razor is a Northfield Cutlery I rescaled.
