Minimum Tool Set, Comments?
After looking through many of the restoration & rescaling threads, I want to assemble a tool set in order to work on a straight razor. I am getting rather antsy to attack the rescaling on a W.H Morley & Sons I picked up last weekend.
Here goes -
a clue
bench anvil
flush cutters
small ball-peen hammer (jeweler or toolmaker type, < 2 oz.)
countersink bit for washer deburring
drill & bits for scale drilling
machine screws & nuts for temporary assembly
method of cutting & shaping scales (jig saw, file, & belt or disc sander)
selection of wet/dry sandpaper, 0000 steel wool, & metal polish for final blade finishing
magnifying glass
clean benchtop
internet connection
flare gun or large sign reading "HELP!"
Is there anything you would add?
