My first restore with Larry's silver tip knot

[bwhite]

I just glued this Every Ready 150 up with Whipped Dog silver tip set it about 48 mm for a good back bone I face lather and bowl lather I have a feeling this knot is going to excel with either method. Thanks Larry for your help in this first restore great guy.

Excellent work.

Is the Whipped Dog a 22 mm?

I have done a couple of those myself, one at 23 mm (which I had to sand the opening to accept the larger knot) and the other at a 20 mm that allowed for the black retainer to be spared.

Great first restore! Looks like you already have the hang of things! Like GDCarrington said, this is a pretty addictive hobby, with tons of support.

Great job. It's always a pleasure to see an old handle get a new knot. It's good to go for another 10+ years.
