First Attempt

[nytefaii]

So this is my first attempt making a Mach3 Kit, as well as my first time using the Woodchuck Pen Pro. Blank is a Clemson blank made by Brooks803

Photos are not good, but I'm not set up with the fancy stuff.

Comments welcome

Very Nice!

I've made several of these (I think they are going to be good sellers) but I have been chicken to use wood on the handle. I've stayed with tru-stone just to be sure. When I've got $11 in the razor and $9 in the blank I don't need warranty claims.

Very nice work. Oops, just saw that it is acrylic. It looks like burl wood! Very nice, indeed!

Where do you get the Mach3 kit? I have wanted to make one of those.

Doesn't water affect the finish???

They are nice, i made a few.I have a couple of sets to do yet. Your hardware is different than mine though.

I got mine from Ernie at http://www.beartoothwoods.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=79&products_id=1523

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Chris ...
I believe that your razors are quite "sharp!" And as far as the photography, 'spot on' as they say over there ...


John ...

Not if you use acrylic or stabilized woods.

Looks great Chris! I've been curious as to how those blanks would turn out. I might have to try one of those kits now.

Where did you get yours? I got mine at AS, but I'd really like to find a gold or bronze set... Everybody likes them, but so far, no takers, everybody wants gold.....

I didn't know ernie had these or I would have bought at BTW.

The two different kits I'm aware of are the ones I just got from Ernie, which is a Berea kit, and the ones you can get from The Golden Nib.

There may be others that sell different types of kits, but I'm not aware. My mission is to find a fusion "kit", instead of the mach3.
