The first Restoration Chat was last night, I would consider it a success, there were 10 members that showed up..... Most of us stayed on for about 2 1/2 hours, several different ideas were discussed about scales and new production of scales using acrylics.... Topics also included polishing blades, re-pinning and the use of micro nuts and bolts....As well as some general shaving topics..... Please feel free to join us next week same time same channel...
I'd join you for a restoration chat, if it wasn't 2 effing AM over here at 8 PM EST
And we would love to have you!!!Quote:

23.00 - I finish my 1 glass of whisky and go to bed.
24.00 - Nele wakes up so my wife has to go out and put that thingy (pacifier?) in her mouth so that she can sleep again.
02.00 - the same again
02.15 - the same again
02.30 - the same again, but now I get out of bed
02.40 - the same again. I check the diaper, and it ad absorbed pretty much all it can. This doesn't usualy happen, and there was no smell so we don't check unless there is a problem, because then both she and I will be fully awake. Which is exactly what we are by now.
02.50 - she doesn't want to sleep yet, and when she talks, she loses that thingy again, so I spend the next 10 minutes standing aside het bed in the dark, in the cold, to put that thing back as soon as she spits it out. in the end she falls asleep, and I can now go back into bed, fully awake.
04.55 - my wife is briefly awake, checks her alarm clock, accidentally triggers it, and we both wake up
05.40 - Kato wakes up and thinks it is time to snuggle in our bed. I tell her she has to wait for the alarm, and put her back in her bed.
06.25 - Kato snuggles in our bed 5 minutes early, so I can cuddle her briefly.
06.30 - the alram clock went off and I get up.
Admittedly, this was the worst night of the week, but we get this weekly or biweekly.
Most nights we wake up only twice or thrice. And every blue moon we only wake up once.
A whole night sleep only happens only if the kids are at my parents.
Actually I am still amazed at how well I function during the day, considering the scant hous of broken sleep I got.
Still, that doesn't mean I have it in me to chat on a weeknight from 2AM to 4AM, and then get up for work at 6:30.
So I'll take a rain check for now.
Bruno Diaper... Brain Hurt... Ughhh
Sorry I missed the chat.
Glad I missed changing those diapers:gth
Wish I could stay up / get up to join you guys also but it's silly o'clock for me .. as some of you know when I've appeared on the Sunday chat .
I'm not a the full restoration stage but a lot of my razors are ebay purchases which I've cleaned up so they are acceptable but a load have water marks etc .. I'd love to get some tips ... I wanna get scales as well for a good few but I've not got the machinery for that stuff so it's gonna be Dovo or TI replacements :(
Just a little reminder that the Restoration chat will meet again this Tuesday night 01/29/08 at 8:00pm EST... Everyone is more than welcome, so pull up a chair and join us.....
Count me in.
of course I will be there
I just picked up a couple off eBay in need of some attention. I look forward to learning some new stuff!

The second Restore Chat was even better than the first,.... Still a hot topic was poured resin scales, re-pinning, and as always RUST removal, were discussed....Joe Chandler stopped in and added his vast knowledge in the world of razors to the chat.... Remember every Tuesday night 8:00pm EST, bring your latest project along, pull up a chair, and lets talk about it.....
I agree the second chat was better than the first.
Glen is doing a GREAT job getting everyone together and coordinating the chat. Count me in for next Tuesday.
Joe gave me some good insight into honing when I got tired of sanding down my pitted frameback (while the hones were soaking).
I'm thinking by next Tuesday I will be half done my first set of scales.
mmmm, zebra.

I totally forgot this week... sorry guys.
I am still kinda curious about that Reaper folks kept mentioning...:D
Restoration Chat is set again for Tuesday 8:00pm EST as usual bring this weeks projects along and let's kick back and talk about them...
I will be sitting next to the wood stove trying to stay warm :D :D while I chat LOL....
Thinking that it might be a hot coffee and Irish creme kinda night up here in the snow country!!!!!
Hope to see everybody there and bring a friend along!!!
I'm going to try to make it this week. I
have a meeting that gets over at 8pm so
I'll be a little late.
John
This weeks Chat had the largest turnout so far... and some great questions and answers this week.....
Hope to see everyone again next Tuesday Night same time same channel (whoops showing my age there LOL)
Tuesday Night 8:00 pm EST in the chat room
Remember every Tuesday night 8:00 pm EST, we meet in the chat room to discuss the Restoration projects we are working on or are planning on working on.... The chat has been growing steadily every week, there are quite a few veteran restores that are showing up so if you are new to restoration or maybe just have a question that is itching your brain please feel free to come on by and sit in... everybody is welcome!!!!
The chats have been lasting about 2 - 2 1/2 hours of pure razor talk before we just start the general BS session :D Hey those are fun too!!!!
See ya there!!!!
Count me in. See you there.:tu
After attending class, lecture, and labs from 9:30 to 7:45, sitting down with a good drink or 4 and knocking off a few remaining hours in the day talking about reviving old razors sounds like just the thing. Count me in, provided I don't get stuck in this next round of snow headed up!
2 quick things I forgot to put up here......
I might be a little late for tonights chat, I have a Seminar to attend down in Spokane but I will be here, hey I'm not all that important anyway so I'll see you guys when I get in.... (yes I'll bring some extra beer)
Also we would like to thank whichever Mod made this thread into a sticky it sure makes it a lot easier to find and to post to it now!!!!!
Thanks again
Hope to be there!
OK where is everyone??? I can finally attend and there is no chatting going on.
Lets all get together same time as usual 8:00 pm EST
I was thinking maybe we could all bring the hones and stones and talk about getting these restored razors sharp again!!!!!
Hope to see everyone there in the chat room For the Tuesday night Restoration Chat!!!!!
I'm looking forward to tonight's chat. I've put a fair bit of work into a few blades and will be starting in on making scales as well pretty soon. Of course, tons of questions have come up, and I still need to bring a pad and pen with me when I work to write the darned things down.
When sharing photos of work in chat, is it prefered to post them to the forum, or link them from another web source (such as a Picasa web album, or photo dump)?
You guys want this this thread stuck??
Lynn
i dont suppose anyone has the irc server name/port for those of us who aren't on good terms with flash?
Someone made it a sticky, and yes that works great for us, Thank You LynnQuote:

Lots of first time face there also, hope you guys had a great time!!!!
Remember every Tuesday Night 8:PM EST, Every one is welcome whether your an expert or a beginner, please feel free to stop by..............:nj
Unfortunately, it's not an irc server with a port for irc clients. It's just a flash application that works with the forum software - all text based and mainly CPU intensive on the client side. It looks like it's probably an easy way to keep bandwidth needs to a minimum and without having to install any software.Quote:

I had the chance to stop by; great ideas and some funny shate thrown in!
I may nit have much to add (other than a smart arse comment) but enjoyed it!
