    Default Yet another way to make a wedge

    i've been working on this method for a while and finally found a way that works. this one is made with pewter but i think lead would work the same way

    i first clamped two pieces of wood in my vise like this (make sure the bottoms touch or your metal will run out the bottom)

    make the taper match that of your razor, then tighten the vise and attach c-clamp to act as a seal,like this...

    all that's left is to cut and fit the wedge(plenty of other articles on that)
