Wade and butcher 1" and completion of my second 7 day set: a study in horn

[Heespharm]

So this is my second 7 day set: a study in horn... they mostly ended up looking similar but I learned alot about thinning material... I stole one from my previous 7 day set and replaced it with an acrylic scale razor so it matches that whole set... I love the randomness of horn and it's pretty soft to cut and easy to polish.... Definitely my scale material of choice from here on out!

Wade and butcher 1" okay I'm lying it's 0.977 inches.. once again started way late in the night and done with all hand tools so as not to **** off my neighbors... black acrylic wedge, NiAg liners and hardware.. this is by far the most care I took in making scales.. making sure everything was correct..

Steps: coping saw--> hand file to shape--> Drill pin holes--> dremel to bevel edges --> up the sanding ladder--> hand shaped wedge then NiAg liners superglued on--> finish pinning--> polish

below is the rest of this 7 day set(not in this order in pics):

1. Wade and Butcher 1" in honey horn and NiAg liners and hardware black acrylic liner
2. Wade and butcher 13/16 celebrated in black horn and MOP kirinite wedge

[Gamma]

Good stuff - thanks for sharing!

 

[Heespharm]

The icing on the cake... All tucked in

Pencil cases we sell at cvs for 8 or nine bucks... Fits a 7 day set perfectly

 

[Soldierdan]

Nice case! I built one out of an old Avon set a month or so ago. It looks nice, but not as modern or shiny as that one.

Heespharm,

I haven't seen that pencil case in my CVS. I don't see it on the web either. What's the name on that case? Was it down by the pens/pencils/etc...?

Nice job on your restores

 

[Heespharm]

I'm at work and I found another one in the back room

Went to www.vaultz.net and it's not on their website

 

[Bushhippi]

Now that is very cool !!!!!!

 

[AndroiDad75]

Heespharm,

Did you add any foam/felt to the box to get your razors to stand up like that?

 

[Heespharm]

Heespharm,

Did you add any foam/felt to the box to get your razors to stand up like that?

I cut 1" by 2" sticks out of 1/4 inch acrylic, wrapped those in self adhesive foam then put foam spacers in between the sticks to make grooves for the razors... Then on the tang side I cut " v " notches in the foam a little shorter than the razor so it adds pressure as it sinks into the "v" grooves


E.g:

Stickstick
Razorrazorrazorrazorrazortang > (v notch)
Stickstick


Btw the box in sending u androidad has the same foam I used in it..

Beautiful Work!

 

[Sando]

All your razors look great. OK the one on the bottom right is my favorite but not by alot.
Amazon has a Vaultz but it's not as cool looking yours...

 

[mdunn]

great razors, and super cool find on that box!

 

[Heespharm]

Thank you all for the kind words.... Tonight I'm working on four more.... I think I've bitten off more than I can chew

Absolutely beautiful work! That box just classes it up even a little bit more.

Yah. The 7 day horn set on that box will be wicked.

 

[xdhallettx]

what are you using for the liners between the wedge and the scales?

 

[alpster]

Very nice set! Great work!

Very nice set. My eye is drawn to the Wosty IXL, dig that one , and the honey horn FBU. Hell, my eye is drawn to all of them.
