Also had some time to clean up this W&B FBO. Still have to finish bevel set and honing. Had a chip in the edge so it's been a bit of work cleaning that up. Over all this blade was pretty easy...

Hey all, hope everyone has been well, been a busy summer for me. Lately haven't been doing much razor work, but I've escaped a couple times and been twiddling with this Tally Ho. Blade is...

Wow, I had lots of catching up to do! It's been too long since I have had time to be in here. Great work/ projects all of you. My latest Tally Ho will be in the SOTD, no clean up just hone and go. No...

Man a drum sander would be awesome as well. I can find the drum sander attachment for my Dremel and I'm a bit bummed. Could have been handy, belt sander and single edge utility blade as a scraper....

Shaun, these are streaked horn. I was working on a Boker for another gent on FB, broke the originals at the pivot and offered to repair originals or replace. He chose replace and wanted streaked...

Replacement scales sanded to 400 grit, hopefully finish this Boker in the next couple days and get it back to the gent. Man a belt sander makes this a much easier task, saved me alot of hand...

Beautiful Mike!

Sheared a piece about 1in long off from the scale end at an angle. I believe I can fix it, he opted to take me up on making new, repairing the originals and sending them back also.

Stress didn't really put into words what I felt :) I about ruined my undies and all but ran away from my work bench. I was so mad, come to find out a bent pivot pin was the culprit. I apologized...

Bummer Richard, I just broke a set of horn scales in a razor I was to hone for someone else. Hate seeing it but, all we can do is move on.

Mike I give you a HARUMP! Very nice work.

Mike and Tom those nice blades and you gents are doing them justice. Keep up the good work!

Got 1 blank cut, 4 scale blanks. Get 2 sets of scales from each blank or 16 scales. I kept saying 16 scales meaning 8 sets. Band saw does well and is what I used in the past just don't want to miss...

I have the same band saw as you Roy, I'm certainly hoping it works. I'd like to get as much as possible. Thought about a coping saw too but I never seem to cut straight with those :)

Shaun I'm only going to split the scale once, you are correct, split the 3/8 in half then the width in half so 4 blanks split 4 ways should yield 16 scales. If I don't screw up.

What's your guys favorite method for splitting horn blanks? I have 4 blanks, 3/8 thick, 6in long and 1.5 in wide iirc. I should be able to get 16 scales if I see this right and don't screw up. I'm...

I agree Rez, seems a bit thin but I'm gonna go ahead. If they don't work then lesson learned. Maybe a scale shaped comb! Lol

Getting some scales drawn up for my FBO. Since I didn't have the originals I'm going with the FBU style. I'm a bit worried because the horn I have lying around after splitting it came out a...

Bejay and Andrew, those are some great looking razors! Great job dying the scales Bejay

Returning the great favors that have been bestowed on me from you fine Men. This Shumate, a Boker and a Flanders are in my possession to clean and hone. A gent from FB is getting started so...

Great looking razor BeJay, I like that tool and those are super sweet collars. I will have to see about making one of those here at work.... I mean at home :D great job :D

Richard and Tuzi you fellas are going to have some sweet blades back in action. Good work!

Wake up Rez! Lol, Roy was kind enough to send me a blank of acrylic that while I'm on leave I might delve into using for scales. Should be fun having a wild razor in hand:)

I agree Shaun, long blade lengtlength strokes and due to the blade etch I am not getting agressive. Trying mostly to bring the bevel straight again. In reality I likely could have left it the way it...

It was huge and all over. Plus when I get it at some point it had been knife honed. I didn't do it any favors trying this that and the other to set a bevel. So I'll see if I can redeem my past :) ...
