Thread: What are you working on?

Nice job Rick. Scales and wedge look terrific with that blade.

I've used these and fished the wire behind the drywall. Depending on the application, they are less obvious than the wire channel stuff. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Eaton-1-Gan...-Plate/3125961

That's gonna be one sweet shaver .!!

Realizing that I'm almost out of Dominica Bay Rum I dug through my Mother's recipe box and found her recipe for Bay Rum that she always made for Dad. I made up a batch this afternoon and when it's done I'll bottle it in Dad's old bay rum bottle. So for my friends here at SRP I'll share Mom's recipe--->
5 oz. vodka 90 proof or better.
1 oz. Jamaican Rum.
4 large bay leaves.
1/4 teaspoon allspice.
1 stick of cinnamon.
1/4 teaspoon orange extract.
Put all the ingredients into a jar with a tight cap and let stand for 1 week or better in a dark place at room temperature. Shake the jar once a day. When done strain out all of the solids and filter through paper toweling. Use this stuff and you will look sharp and smell nice for the ladies.

Benz,

Is the Rum Light or Dark? Also do you think that Everclear could be used in place of the Vodka? Just wondering.

@ Phrank, nice razor. It looks like it is looking pretty good
@ rickmccarey that is a nice job, I particularly like the pinning job. It was a bit of a struggle for me in the beginning to get that right, the brass wedge is an awesome contrast to the deep black scales.
@ Benz thanks for the recipe, I may have to try it out and see if my wife likes that one, the commercial stuff she says smells too clove-ish

Cheferik makes one very similar, but used Captain Morgans Spiced rum instead,I think. Calls it citrus bay rum.
A bit clove-ish at first, but then the other notes come thru.

Do you use fresh allspice corns and break open?

Bay Rum is my favorite AS.

Thank you for the recipe.

The rum I used today was kind of clear, Bacardi Superior. Being a bourbon drinker I don't know too much about rums and I just bought the first bottle I saw on the liquor store shelf. I don't know if Ever Clear would work but I would think it might be a bit harsh.
