Thread: The Butchered Blade

Dust collection is very important in any wood shop. Mine is outfitted with a 5hp cyclone with hepa filters. It is probably over kill. I do have a small unit that I used to used on job sites that I am planning to put under the bench that my buffer sits on. A couple of tiny trailer fenders will be perfect for my hoods, that dust will be directly vented outside. I also have an air cleaner. There is a lot of pacific yew and cedars that go through my shop. I can't help but think that the lack of safety equipment in my early days raises my risks a lot. We should not take unnecessary risks with our lungs, we kind of need them.

While I savoured an amazing push by our Blue Jay's, sorry Tom and Steve.. I was getting more done on the wedge.
Used a pen inner ink tube for my spacer, oversized the amber to take the increased dia and the 1/16 rod fit's inside perfectly. Sanded it to the tright thickness on the end of a toothpick. Worked the charm on the belt sander.

Almost time for the moment of truth or shattered dreams, hehe. Just like Texas...
just kiddin about the team, it was a good series..

That's good thinking, Mike! Should work a treat!
Being a Houston sports fan is always the same. We are used to it. At least the Astros have greatly improved. Texans....Notsomuch!

Only time will tell.

Best of wishes, got my fingers crossed.

Well, you could suffer being an Orioles or Ravens fan

See I'm blamed for everything.[emoji1]

Hi guys. I'm still feeling like crap. I thought I was starting to feel better on the weekend but didn't brag & glad I didn't. Monday round 2 hit me & I'm back where I started. I heard there was a stomach bug going around. I haven't felt like doing anything but do some research until I feel better.
I got my broken up John Barber today & it will be a challenge but I think it will work to make a double ground kami out of it. I have an original Kamisori & compared edges. They seem to be around the same length. If nothing else, I got a different W. Greaves coffin I don't have. I also ended up with a nice set of vintage horn scales that should be perfect for a CT Bingham, Late F Fenney heavy wedge blade I have that has a very nice etching on it. BTW that isn't rust on my Kamisori either. it is also very sharp. Why not take an old broken John Barber & make 'er a working razor again..............
