Thread: Why not a restoration den???

OK Alex, I still don't see where those exquisite carbon fiber scales are coming from
I know, you can't give up any trade secrets. Well, as long as you keep up the great work and continue posting that juicy razor porn, we can all be content wondering just how you do it! I hope I can snag one of your customs one day.

Happy restoring,

The Restore Den / Gun Shop

I never saw this thread in the past, so when I was out working in the shop I took a few pics....
Keep in mind most of the stuff I have does dual duty, just for razors you really don't need this bigger stuff... But heck what's wrong with "More Power"

The razors have managed to insinuate themselves inside the gun stuff quite well don't ya think????

Oh the hands, it all makes sense now. I should have known

Keep up the good work man,

I figured I'd add my little corner of the garage to the thread

Wow Aaron- you are a confident man keeping your MacBook in there! Mine would have stopped working by now after everything that goes on at my bench! lol

My macbook was only sitting there because I was listening to Leo Laporte while cleaning up my work area. If I am working on something it does not go in the garage.

I have a couple different workshops. My space is multi purpose but mostly wood working although there is some welding stuff and a couple of reloading presses. The big gear is over at my dads place, table saw, another plainer, larger lathe, 6 inch belt sander, drill press, etc although a press and 6 inch belt sander are on my short list. I have a 1 inch strip/disk sander and a oscillating drum sander that I use for finish work. It is a bit messy right now. I just finished pinning another 6 blades yesterday and turned a bowl this evening and am putting in all new landscape timber in front of the house.

I still have the bowl chucked in the lathe while I put sealer and finish on it. I am still learning the lathe, especially the art of bowl turning but I think I am progressing along. Once you start down the lathe path there is no going back. Addictive, next thing you know you have gone from a basic 5 tool set a drawer full of lathe tools.
