My first Restor

Ok this is my first ever restore, what do you think (B nice:()

(The original is the top one in the first picture, my current collection.)

Scales are jarrah (an Ozzie timber). I was so desperate to complete the restore that i ended up making the washers (like my method?) I have just received some correct sized washers from a guy in England, but i couldn’t wait :D. Actually i told a guy in the hobby shop what i wanted and he came up with the idea.

O and the black in the 'finished product' pictures is my second ever restore (Much more simple)

And the last pic is my next project :D

Congrats on your first. Good fun eh mate ?

Nice looking razor. What make ? What finish on the scales - CA ? What are the old scales ? - plastic or bone ?
Can I have them if they're bone ? :rolleyes:
Hope you didn't bust your sawblade on that Jarrah :D Kinda hard stuff eh?

Very innovative on the washer manufacture. Off to a good start. :tu

You're next one looks like a bit of a challenge but might be a diamond in the rough. ;)

Tongue oil, on the scalses.

It says 'THE TORRY RAZOR CO' on the tang, and somthing ' ...TER MASS' bellow that.

The old scales are plastic (did the hot pin test)

And thanks

Nice looking restoration!
Congrats!!!

I like it. Can you elaborate on how you made the washers and pins?

It looks like you used the dremel as a make shift lathe...am I correct?

Looks good!

Dremil bit ('mandrel' i think) for a cutting wheel. I drilled out some brass slid a couple of peices on, instead of the cutting wheel, and switched it on and pressed it against some sand paper. I might put a detailed thread up on it once i refine it a bit. (with more pics)

Very nice work, sir!:tu:bow

The jarrah wood looks gorgeous. Presumably, it is one of your native hardwoods:hmmm:

oooo it looks so good my love!!
hey I must take credit for the trendy shape of the scales :)
their squared at the end ( my idea), love the Jarrah!! Wooden scales are one of the nicest looking scales wouldn't you agree gentlemen?
:D
