Heck of a first go Paul. Hope you enjoy the shave.

You have some serious tree felling hardware there Tom.
Nice work bringing them back to good nick.
I’ve only got a couple of saws here myself, and nothing as big as those Oregon blades!
And that...

Amen about a throw away world these days.
Course my kids may not even want this stuff one day, but to me, for history sake, these pieces all mean something.
And most are damn comfortable too...

Not shave related but what I was working on this weeknd.
Broken Victorian era chair that has been in the family for over a century now had a broken cross brace. Wanted to repair it before it...

Beauty work Mike.
Glad you two were able to work something out.

Damn, I always liked those in movies like the Kingsmen.
And geez, looky that.
Reasonable even, and I’m almost grey enough to get away with it now, hehe.

Oh you enabler Shaun!

Nice Sabre swoop! That curve looks near perfect B.
I have one of my forefathers from one of the wars.
I’ll try to get a pic of the handle for you for inspiration ideas, if nothing else.

That thread captured many epic recoveries from many former members.
I hope to add to it again this season when I dust off the razor repair box once again.

Been there, always sux..

Wow B. I can look into that pattern for hours,,wait do I see the Virgin Mary in there,, maybe Waldo too!
Beautiful grain structure.
Well done sir.
:beer1:

Silver solder, or tig would be my solution as well. Fortunately the break is through the pivot so you can get better penetration with your repair.
Presuming you have experience and access to the...

Funny, but after 2 + years of invested time, I’d be loath to part with the mg now.. I’m gonna need a bigger garage as I age I think…..
Loved the work, but also affectionate for the car, hence her...

Amen to that.
Machine gun Mike firing them out.

Sometimes it’s all in how you hold your tongue, one of my tech professors told me Tom.
Truer words never spoken..
He’s also the one that told me to ‘see with my fingertips’..

Nice clean up work Mike.
I want that one that says Ontario!
See if Nip will part with it for me!
That inlay is shaping up nicely!

Love our garbarator as well. Makes the compost bag bearable and everything but bones, banana peels, pasta and sourdough starter pretty much will pass.

Nice job John. Shows the set well! And protects them too.

Beautiful finish and sheen there sir!

With scales I’d use medium gel, on the lathe always thin.
And as Mike showed in his pics, the biggest issue with ca is it doesn’t flex.
Fine for pens or rigid handles, but scales flex, by design,...

CA, and Tru Oil are both awesome, but different for sure.
AFAIK you can’t really put tru oil over ca finishes but on either side of the same scale, absolutely.
When I work with CA I use my finger...

It was a long weekend up here last weekend and I took this week off, hence my confusion that it is in fact Wednesday today..
No sharp objects for me today..

What are folks working on this weekend?

Happy to read it all worked out for you Steve.
Nice job Paul.

Nope he did that to himself,hehe.
Here all week folks,, try the fish!
:chapeau

Knowing how he passed gets me all choked up.
