Ok... This is part of my shop (a one-car garage, basically) Far end is my Burr King grinder. All my kinves and razors are ground on this variable speed machine. Just a tad closer is my 3/4 horse Baldor buffer with a soft muslin on a tapered spine adaptor on the left and a 3M 80 grit radial bristle disc on the right. So, if you have these things in the closet, you can go from this.... To this... In twenty minutes... But... I still have the scales to address and I also have to touch up the nooks and crannies on the tang.
Fudge me!! I have to get tools like that....maybe if I retire someday. I don't even have a second bedroom nevermind the garage to store that stuff.
Wow - that before/after shot is very dramatic. "After" looks like a brand new razor.....very well done. :happy088
Good day Bill ,excellent work as usual,Ripper actually.:drool You have brought up my next question, What is the best way to go about cleaning around the pivot area particularly with an older razor such W&B with horn scales and bullseye washers .. Sometimes when drilling out the pins you can damage the washers therefore being one short so if you can clean up one of these without removing the blade would be a good thing ,keep them coming Bill Kind regards Peter PS Been to the market 3times now and still haven't sold anything ,but I`m getting my card out and generating a fair bit of interest , I chose this one because it is known as a money market and it certainly dose have the crowds,however it is mainly for alternative lifestyles,I may change days ,not sure yet. I certainly have met a great number of experts. Talk to you soon Bill all the best to you and your family
