    As well as enjoying the beautiful pieces of functional art, there is something soothing about this gent's videos.

    I just assembled a straight razor (I made the scales and used a blank blade found on eBay) for my uncle for Christmas using your videos and he loved it. Thanks for all the information. I'll be making some more in the future.

    Very easy to follow, seen a few straight razor peening videos and this is the one that made me most confident learning about it!

    This video was great! I used the skill to marry ivory celluloid scales harvested from a warped Ontario Cutlery razor to a Geneva Cutlery Corp. pyramid (one of those mysterious square point, quarter-concave, shoulderless jobs ground from high-chome steel blanks). Its scales were classic hard-rubber but were smashed long ago. I got some 14 AWG german-silver wire from Wirejewelry and made thrust-washers from a stainless clock-spring harvested from my son's bath-toy. External washers were omitted to keep the factory look and it came out great. Even my now-shiny hammer looks good. Thanks for your help. Thanks to fellow viewers commenting as well.

      Lewis Razors never quite that bad, but cutting it off again and starting all over. Not all washers are sized correctly either and sometimes that makes it challenging. Then I end up sanding the brass rod. I don’t do it enough to be great at it. Some trials and some errors, it’s all about learning.

    Nicely done Charlie....another beauty of a razor, btw.

  • @lewisrazors
    @lewisrazors  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yes, the hole is a little bit sloppy. I used 1/16 rod and a 1/16 bit to drill the holes. The drill bit makes a slightly oversize hole, plus I wiggle the scales around a bit while the bit is still spinning and in the scales.

  • @lewisrazors
    @lewisrazors  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes, that is damascus and box elder. The anvil is a 2.25 round x 1.25 long piece of 4140, it has been hardened and polished.

    I'm going to attempt this on an old antique hunting knife I found without it's scales.
    Going to re-scale it in cow bone. The existing pin holes are slightly larger than 1/16", so I hope it works.

    @lewisrazors  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I drilled the hole when I made the anvil. The hole is 5/64 diameter by about 3/16 deep. I used a drill press to drill the hole. The dimensions for the hole are not critical, as long as it is a little bigger and deeper than your pin stock.

    @michaelshults7675 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good video man. I have trouble getting the washer on, because when I cut the extra pin stock - then file it flat - it puts burrs around the diameter of the pin - so when I drop on the washer it hangs on the burrs? What am I doing wrong?

    • @lewisrazors
      @lewisrazors  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It happens to me sometimes also, I just file the burr off.

  • @UnoBadBadger
    @UnoBadBadger 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Say I want to restore a vintage with some new scales. What is the best way to get the pins out? A small drill bit and a drill press or?

    • @lewisrazors
      @lewisrazors  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      I usually file the pin and washer down to right above the surface of the scales and try tapping the pin out. If that does no work I use a pin vise to drill it out.
      I have a friend that does a lot more work on vintage razors than me, he uses flush cutters to cut the pins off off.

  • @lewisrazors
    @lewisrazors  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    That is cool that you are getting your grinder.
    I have learned a lot from talented makers they were open with their information. I want to be open with my information also. It is a way of making this hobby grow.
    The yew sounds really interesting. I would like to see some scales made form it.
    No kits, you will have to scrounge around for materials like me.

    What do mean when you say the head of your hammer is polished? What effect does having head polished or not polished?
    Another excellent video and thanks for the detailed instructions.

    • @lewisrazors
      @lewisrazors  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The face of the hammer is polished and smooth, the metal flows/spreads out easier under a smooth surface. The head of the pin also comes out cleaner.

    Hey I sometimes have trouble getting the rod through the hole in the scales. I tried gently hammering it through the first razor I repinned but I chipped the scales. Any help?

    • @lewisrazors
      @lewisrazors  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      There should be some slop between the rod and scales. for instance it I am using a 1/16" rod I will have a 3/32 hole. I would recommend making the hole a bit bigger or filing down the rod. The rod should not be a tight fit in the blade are the scales.

      @shonaoneill5151 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lewis Razors considering the fact you have a small model making lathe, why would you not buy thin gauge metal tube and cut the washers yourself? Or is it simply a matter of time....and the fact that you have very little of it?

  • @lewisrazors

    I buy most of my washers at the local tru-value hardware store. MIcor Fasteners has a good selection on the internet. If you look at the stickies for the workshop section on Straight Razor Place Forums they have all of the info.
    FWSS0100#0 Narrow Washer S/S I.D. .062xO.D..125x Thk .017 from Microfasteners is very close to what I use.

  • @lewisrazors

    @peterrafeiner9461 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very interesting video!
    You mentioned getting the washer on can be difficult.
    It seem that filing after the cut creates a small mushroom type edge making the washer a tighter fit. Why not put on the washer and then filing the cut flat ?

    Hey, the edges of my mushroomed head on my brass pins are kinda sharp, they can hook cloth cases and such. I was wondering if you have a way to prevent it or get rid of it without harming the scale?

    • @lewisrazors
      @lewisrazors  9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +111raybartlett I would first cover the pin and scales with a layer of masking tape. Then I would use foam cushioned nails files on the rivet head. The 4 in one nail files/sanding-thingies work great, I get mine at the beauty supply store. I start the coarse and work my way up the the fine grits sanding on the pin head. I just sand through the tape with coarse grit and let the tape stay on the surround areas to protect from scratches.

    I am curious where you got (or how you made) your anvil. I am assembling the tools to re-scale razors, and the one tool I am not sure about is the anvil. I have seen people drill a divot into the side of a regular claw hammer, which I could do, but I am looking for a more elegant (yet space effective) solution. I live in the city with my girlfriend, so everything I do needs to be easily stowed (gotta keep the lady happy, so no big anvil for me). I really like yours and would love to find something similar.

    • @lewisrazors
