After mocking it up with some screws, it looks just right. It had some slightly larger collars & I saved the originals so I'm sanding the scales down now. It'll look like an old original straight razor. I did like Tom & I polished my collars on a pin vise but instead using a toothpick to hold them from spinning on me.

Dave, get with Austin aka ajkenne. He's got some of the old style domed & bullseye collars. Here's a couple of my pretty Wosty's:Quote:

Build some razzers, boys! I will be done with my honing to come back and see some talk...Yet no razors!
Let's GO! :D
Those Fredericks have some of the greatest curves! I've got a big chopper but it will be a while until..
Well last night I turned on the movie, got into bed with my hand sanding mobile station, and my lady said absolutely not... :( she said I work enough outside the bedroom and it was break time. Today was busy, but tomorrow I start the sanding of the W&B anchor.
And I plan on getting some serious time in! Gonna do it all by hand, I don't want to screw it up on the table mounted buffer. I want a perfect mirror finish, no ripples. I have a hard time doing the buffer without ripples.
