    I'm gonna need to go back and read a few pages, gotta catch up after a couple days away.
    Just want to wish you a late happy birthday Outback! It's been great to be able to learn from and alongside you. Thanks for your contributions.

    The Butchered Blade! Great name change, very relevant.
    At the beginning of the thread, I felt very comfortable, jumped right in and its been like a home base ever since.
    Thanks to you guys!
    I'll have some good progress coming soon, its driving me crazy sitting on the sidelines without work to show..

    This must have happened when I was out. Just reading it now, I'm glad Geezer is okay, really hope this wasn't too serious.. he is a great guy from everything I've seen, a real asset to the community.

    Looks like a bit of frown towards the toe?

    I just got in & saw all the posts & thread name change. Thanks to Glen for that. I knew if this went on a lot longer something would happen. I'm so glad Richard is doing well. I knew he would be ok with today's modern technology.
    I agree with Tom, outback, B52 & all others who mentioned Harold's blade. I think if he takes out that "hook" it will look a lot better & the heel would be rounded more nicely. At first I was thinking C-Mon Blackie but I have seen these as well & nothing wrong with it, it will be an excellent shaver when done. I have actually taken a "hook" out with a Dremel & finished using a DMT. No Dremel necessary though, it just speeds up the process sometimes.
    Thanks for sharing Harold!

    LOL!

    Much better thread title as you say, reflects the nature of the thread....
    Well it's history now! I looked & noticed I still had a window open to this thread so here's to Phreaky Phrank........

    Thanks for the welcome, folks. This thread is the place I've been looking for since finding my interest in straights.
    Tomorrow I hope to visit my local Pet Shop. See if they sell those big ole cow bones. I'm experienced at wood working. I've got all the tools. Need to stock up on dust masks.
    I'm still trying to find a local supplier of 1/16" ID brass washers. Next option is order and wait.

    I find the tough part on ordering washers is that the postage is always more than a pack of washers so i try to stock up when i do order. You mays as well get some nuts and bolts for mock up too.
