Well after appropriating a couple of an Uncles bench-top tools, I was able to complete a couple of projects I had on the back burner. Now that I do not have to pick up the kids because school is cancelled and all extra-curricular activities are cancelled, I have had some time to make a second magnetic brush. Recently, I had a razor pop a plastic scale so it got some new bone scales. Here is the completed project:




And a picture of the bottom of the brush:



My work at doing a brush has been to easily replace a knot. To do this I have been gluing a powerful magnet into the handle and to the bottom of the knot. I used two-part marine epoxy to adhere the magnet to the knot; and in this brush I had to epoxy the bottom as the handle was too short or the magnet was too long. You can see in the above photo where I drilled the bottom of the brush to place the handle magnet. This also allows me to easily hang it from any metal object to dry. Even in an earthquake that handle is staying put.



Now for the scales. My Wade and Butcher cracked the scale a couple of weeks ago. I had previously bought a pair of bone blanks from Maggards that I put to use. I traced the original scale and use my new (to me) band saw and sander to get it to shape.



and the backside:



The scales are a little too thick at the tang. It is not easy to hold onto the razor as the tang does not stick out enough. I might take it back to the sander for a thin down. I stained the bone with coffee and sanded with wet-dry sandpaper 400, 800, and steel wool.

The wedge was the original plastic wedge, this is why it does not fit perfectly...





Thanks to all the help from the forum and a special shout out to Doughboy68 as he sent me some microfasteners which helped me to mock up and finish the razor.
