A home made SE coat hanger and PAL.

Thankyou. Better then the blade glued to a stick.

 

I just watched your hanger razor shave. That is pretty cool. Too much pressure!
I was thinking maybe we could resurrect this old thread. Too bad we haven't heard from Mike in about a year now. I know he got really sick, but he eventually got better. I was able to talk with him, but he has since dropped off again. Anyhow, I still have the brush I made way back then.

 

I've had some ideas for a couple of brushes ... under $2, I don't know ... under $5 or $6, I could do and it could be a right nice one. I figure in everything in the cost (excluding my time).

I think we need more categories ... like $2, $5 and $10. I think it could still be fun.

 

Great video Fuzzy. You're braver than I!

 

I still have it. Might do a replay for MAYhem...

 

Seems like a blade bank would be a no-brainer at this price point?.....

Good afternoon Gentlemen! I read this thread with great interest. I had a desire to do something with my own hands from what is. I had a wooden bar, a hacksaw, a drill, a 6 mm drill, a 18 mm wood drill (the biggest one I have), sandpaper, knife, burdock oil for finishing. So, I started to make a handle for a shaving brush. I do not have mechanical machines for woodworking. There was a desire to make a handle for the shaving brush, and a sharp knife. The wooden blank was very dry and hard. Now I need to poke a knot of horsehair, or a wild boar, 18 mm in size. Photo process.

Добрый день Джентльмены! Прочитал с большим интересом эту нить. У меня возникло желание что-то сделать своими руками из того, что есть. У меня было - деревянный брусок, ножовка, дрель, сверло 6 мм, сверло для дерева 18 мм ( самое большое, из тех, что есть у меня), наждачная бумага, нож, масло репейное для финишной обработки. Итак, я приступил к изготовлению ручки для кисти для бритья. У меня нет механических станков для обработки дерева. Оставалось желание сделать ручку для кисти для бритья, и острый нож. Деревянная заготовка была очень сухой и твёрдой. Теперь мне понабиться узел из конского волоса, или кабана, размером 18 мм. Фото процесса.

 

Great job on the minimalist wood shop! The wood looks like yellow pine; which can be very hard when aged even a few years. I found that badger was the easiest for me to find in 18 mm.

 

Enrico, thanks for your feedback, this is cedar. Really very similar to pine, but the pine is resinous and has a completely different smell. The thing is that the cedar differs in its properties, depending on the conditions under which it grows. This may be the northern or southern slope of the mountain.

Энрико,спасибо за ваш отзыв, это кедр. Действительно очень похоже на сосну, но сосна смолянистая и имеет совершенно другой запах. Всё дело в том, что кедр отличается своими свойствами, в зависимости от того в каких условиях происходит его рост. Это может быть северный или южный склон горы.

 

I would chalk this one up to a $5 DIY ....

Starting with a spool that came with some junk I bought for the razor in the box; so I count as free.


I plugged the center to bore it out.


I bored it out to accept a 18mm synthetic I got in a mix up on ebay and to accept a 2018 penny. I soaked in Teak oil for 24 hours and assembled it.



Final tally in price ...

Spool ... free
Knot ... $1.75
Penny ... 1 cent
Filler ... 1 cent
Epoxy ... 5 cents
Teak oil ... 5 cents

So I guess it does come in under a $2 DIY.

I'll probably add it to the 2018 TSD Raffle later tonight.
