How bout some Workshop Pics??

Thanks for the concern, Chris. They're heavy duty steel brackets fastened to the studs with 3 3 1/2 lags. I have been lax with installing both steel cable hangers bolted to the plywood shelf. I have one done. My idea was in the remote chance the brackets buckled, the shelf would swing from the joist fastened cables.

I can't find anything! That's how I ended up with 11 hammers. (And right now, I know where 2 of them are.)

Chris, great idea on the compressor! If you ever get tired of your sander, you can send it to me! But still a great looking set up all around!

Ok this is what I got right now. I am working out of town 21 days at a time and only go home for 7. So right now my workshop in an apartment in Kilgore Texas and here it is

Microfasteners, sandpaper from 400 to 2000 grit, Dremel with red compound, Maas, electrical tape, a small file, gloves, a towel so the wife doesn't kill me, and an ugly wooden block with magnets inside it to hold my blades.

What model of DREMEL toolkit you r using?

Well that actual kit is probably 10 years old now. I have the corded, variable-speed Dremel with the basic attachments that come in their tool kits.

When dealing with the actual metal part of the razor, I only use my Dremel for polishing. I go with Dremel's red compound polish on felt wheels. You sound pretty determined to get one, and I'd be a hypocrite if I said that was a bad idea (they're great all-around tools); just be aware that for razors, caution is mandatory. Keep the speed on the slowest setting, make sure the rotary is spinning away from the edge, wear goggles, and always be aware of the metal temperature -- even the slow speeds will generate heat quickly and too much heat can affect the steel.

Jockeys has some good videos on restoring razors with a Dremel:

I would not suggest following jockey's videos as a guide --

He has some very unsafe practices going on there, most notably running the dremel in a rotational direction that goes into the edge while free handing.

ONE small slip there, and he could lose a finger IMO.

When I use a dremel, it looks nothing like that video.

+1000

That is no way to handle a dangerous operation like that

I also noticed that he hand-tightened the bits onto the dremel. I would not trust hand-tightening anything when you are talking about 35,000 rpm

Not to be a complete A-hole, I just don't want anyone to do what is done in those videos. It is flat out dangerous.
