    Default Making a blade bushing by hand.

    So thanks to all you Ive got RAD HAD and SAD. Anyway I started restoring razors 4 days ago. Got the wade and butcher bow done. Did the blue steel special today. After making the new scales I cleaned the blade and noticed the pin hole was large. It measured .110in. So I decided to make a bushing. I could not find any brass screws or rod in the workshop. But I did notice a piece of metal that had a small hole in it. I had the leftover links from a SS watch band. So a little while with a metal blade in the coping saw and a file, a little sandpaper, and I ended up with a tight fitting blade pin hole. The last pic shows the bushing installed.

    Sometimes a move in desperation turns out to be the best move to make.
    What a fabulous idea & job.
    Well done.

    I use brass tubing to fit the pivot hole when needed.
