    I think back around page 52 there are some comments,
    I just used some to seal up a crack that ran from the pin to the edge on an old horn set, worked out well as the ca just wicked into the crack and the toothpick held the pressure for the moments required to set.
    Mike, you are a gent.. All the guys on this forum seem to be. Comes with the territory maybe, respect your razor, respect your mates.

    I'll be posting those pics tomorrow for the butchered blade donation.
    Don't have an artist but I'll look again.
    Now if I had a microtome those are great for kami-conversions... I'll look and see if there is a good one for that.

    The John Bingham back together.
    I sanded it quite a bit and hit it hard with steel wool to get some of the deep black stain out.
    I left quite a bit of the pitting behind, I was mostly trying to kill the active rust.
    Cleaned it with nail polish remover and wrap it in a paper towel, then soaked the paper towel with Jax patina black.
    It hung out for about an hour and then I lightened it a little with some 2K and WD-40.
    Oddly enough it looks pretty close to as found. Except without the active rust.

    It would have been nice if I had not mixed up my pieces of horn.
    The more streaked piece wound up on the back.
    I think it worked out pretty good.

    You got that right MikeT. I've had a buyer asking to lower a price, lowballing the hell outta me & I replied to him rather in a nice way & blocked that buyer from any future purchases from me. I don't take kindly to low ballers!

    My wife said that ridiculous, you fixed it up and then made it look all shitty and old again!
    I can forgive her that, she is quite nice.

    Yeah Shaun, she just don't understand restored & fully restored, two different ways to go here but you did it like I would have & try to keep the vintage tradition going. I have really nice old Fredericks that was part of an old estate & it would be very beautiful fully restored but I just can't bring myself to do that. I prefer to keep it the way it is & just hone it plus shave with it. Other than that I think it should stay in it's original aged condition.

    Like I said, it would be a beauty but since it is from an old homestead, I prefer to keep 'er as she is.

    I am on my days off and not wanting to start anything off of the honey do list, new furnace will be here next week and then I am going somewhere warm for a couple of weeks. Not Texas this winter but maybe in the future, I'll let you know when to put the kettle on.
