    Pictures just do not do justice to this coating! Great job Bryan!

    The "International Guarantee" tag is only there to give the camera something to auto-focus on. I have to drill the hole in the scales to set the pin but this is what it will look like eventually.

    Fun Toys

    I got a mini metal lathe for turning Pens due to precision keeps them round not oval even if no one else could see it i could. Thinking i could turn my own brush blank with it want to get a pattern or brush i like. Trying to focus on one project at a time coating razors is it at the moment.

    I think we all have a little bit of the "more than one project" time and focus drainer. It tends to keep projects from being completed in a timely manner. I know I sometimes suffer from this. :happy102

    I started looking at some lathes on Harbor Freight yesterday. Are you saying that you got the metal lathe because you couldn't get the results you wanted from a wood lathe?

    Lathe

    I got the shearline lathe recommended form friend but i also herd that the mini harbor fright ones are good but never tried one, bigger turning i use a shop smith lathe. Price is usually what determines which one peeps get, i got a bonus used it on the lathe.

    yeah.. another toy that I have wanted for years and have opportunity to own. If I ever get a house (not likely around here as a dump costs far more than I can afford) that will be one of my first purchases.

I am still working on your razors Etoyoc almost finished will post soon and get them back to you.

    Bryan,

    As to the mistake. Actually that was an excellent mistake because now I will have two mirror opposites. :happy108:happy108:happy108

    Looking at the big handle, I knew that it would just need to be done in all black. So that is good as well. :signs107

    Now on the Star, that is the best of all. That was what I was hoping for!
    That is beautiful! :happy096 :happy096 :happy096

    That is most excellent and I look forward to seeing these in person.

    Again, thanks for doing a fantastic job on these!

    Gary
