Thread: Two Razors finally Done!!!!

So far so good, but like you I worry about new ideas, (I'm really not sure who actually came up with this idea, and how long ago it started) the peened pins have a 200 + year history and we know they work... They also have their problems ie: bent pins... but even then, they still hold... I sold the Freddy this morning and put a guarantee with the razor, that if these Micro-fastener sets happen to not work like we are all hoping they will, that I would replace them with tried and true brass pins and washers no charge....
Only time will tell!!!!

i try to create that convex curve while making them. takes a bit of sanding to do it which is a pain. but they become slightly lighter and feel more normal in hand.

give it a shot with your next set. you're gonna like the improvement.

I'm sure you've already posted this but I can't seem to find it. Where did you buy the micro fasteners and what size are they. I need to order some and would like a little guidance.
Thanks

Answer is HERE. Does no one read the Faqs?

Glen,you got that same compulsion for perfection as those guys at Purdy all the screws on mine line up along the longitudinal axis of the guns.I cant imagine how long it takes to do that. you have great attention to detail(course we would expect that from a gunsmith) Beautiful work, Best Regards gary
