Thread: Walking a W&B though the Buffers - Illustrated

I tell my wife that I want us to have our own house so we can get away from her family. But the real reason is that I want a workshop like that.

My wife refers to the shop as "The Glen House"

In fact I am really never in the "dog house" but I do get told to go out to "The Glen House" quite often when I get on her nerve..

Really Nice!! Thanks so much. What a good looking razor!

very slick. glen, would you mind saying a bit about these formax compounds? can you use them with a dremel wheel or regular orbital buffer? can you use them profitably by hand? how do you find they compare to other methods, e.g. plain sandpaper? and what about the tumbler method *you* invented? I'm particularly curious about the fomax - I have had some amazing luck with stuff called micro-gloss, made by MicroMesh and rated at 1 micron, which works amazingly well as a fixer-upper and finisher on just about anything - wood, bone, horn, metal, plastic....so it got me thinking about other sorts of abrasive compounds intsead of the damned sandpaper. thanks very much.

Nice Glen. The last buffer, the motor with the big loose wheel on it. What do you use that for?

That is a nice workshop - with a lot less "clutter" than my home office
Good job on the W&B.

One heck of a setup and a great demonstration but inquiring minds want a look inside the gun safe in the background.

Wow! Very impressive -- the workshop, the equipment, the razor, and the workmanship. Very, very nice. The finished razor is truly a work of art, clearly the product of a master artisan.

Very cool! Thanks for walking through the steps! A great example of the finishes that can be expected from different compounds.

Any chance someone can get this in the wiki? Would be a great addition...

Thanks for the post. I like your setup, it is well though out.

Now if you had just one more buffer............mwhooohaha
