Saving a worn out shaver.

[HLS]

Will be saving this thing, just because. What my grandfather would call "polishing a turd" Progress pics as I go. Here's what I'm starting with:

Just hone it up & shave with it!

Can't wait to see how this goes...

Progress as of today. Knocked the top layer of rust and pitted steel off of the shank and spine. Began a little shaping of the shank and shoulder. Going for a shoulderless grind. Lots more to do.

Thank you! I almost pitched it in the trash, but the steel was so thick I felt I could work with it.

Starting to look good, I don't have patience for working on steel.

Thanks guys! Inspiration strikes and I just go with it. The work I've done so far was on a standard wood workers floor model sander. The rest will be Dremelized

I grind and dunk, grind and dunk, grind and dunk. Cept on the tail where it don't count much. Got blue on the tail about a half inch.
