I think it will be a fun project. My dad is a first rate woodworker. And I am 3rd or 4th rate
Am also gonna get a knot or two and make some brushes I will be sure and post up pics and updates on it.
Still trying to decide on how fancy I want the top to be. Just curved or some type of scroll pattern.

Choices, choices. For my part, I favor simplicity and function when storing my limited gear. Looking forward to to seeing the finished product.
@Graybeard57
I hear you on the simplicity.
Another cloudy and rain shower day here in Maryland.
Spent some time in my basement. Disassembling a Nordic Trac Elipticle.
Bastards used multiple types of fasteners. And it was being a pain. Got fed up with that crap. Broke out the saws all and cut that pos up. Like a hitman does to dispose of a body.
My animosity may seem a bit over the top.
But the fact that when I hauled that sum bitch down there. I knew that she was never going to use it much. So the hauling it back out plucked a nerve.
Today’s shave was a bright spot. And I also made some home made Chocolate Chip cookies. Use the old Betty Crocker recipe. Just like when I was a kid.

Another Pro Tip: coffee and chocolate chip cookies.
@Graybeard57
Thanks Bruce. Used your "Pro Tip" just now. Worked great. My coffee was much more enjoyable this morning.

Fluffy Pro Tip. Expertise in the consumption of Chocolate Chip Cookies. Results in the need for a Nordic Trac Machine in your basement.
Today was a very good day. Had a friend stop over. And we caught up.
Tomorrow may not be as fun. We’ll see weather or not the wife’s car battery tests good. I topped off the acid and put it on the trickle charger today.
Tonight here in Maryland the temps will be back to what February temps usually are.
19• for a low.
Tonight I introduce you all to my “Johnny Fontaine” razor. It hails from Italy. So it has Guinea charm and shaves as smooth as olive oil.
Say hello to my little friend.

Nice blade. Teens here also tonight................
@Dave in KY
Yea it is a great blade. If it wasn't stamped Italia. The size grind and quality is every bit as good as any Solingen blade I have.
Don't think I have ever seen another Italian straight on the bay or elsewhere.
And apparently Campobasso is Italy's version of Solingen. If anyone has any other razors from there. Please post em up.

The Godfather. Hands down.
I agree The Godfather is movie perfection.
@SteveChuckFrank
Well folks today was fairly good. Got to sleep in. That’s always a luxury.
Breakfast always seems to taste better at about 0900.
The wife’s car was cranking slow I noticed last week. Before needing to be jumped to take her to the airport. Upon inspection the acid level was low in two cells. So I topped it off and threw the battery tender on it. 24 hrs later. (This AM) Put it back in and still cranking slow.
So off to my old side job at Advance Auto.
Sure enough it was almost at half of what the rated CCA’s should have been. No worries cause Fluffy gets one hell of a discount. Threw a new battery in and also got caught with all the guys. And off I went.
Left over Sketti for lunch.
Tonight’s shave was very nice
Now observe closely. Notice how this blade is clearly marked “H. Diamond Real Japanese Hollow Ground”.
If any of you have a made in Japan razor not certified as “Real” and appropriately marked. Then sorry to say you got a counterfeit.
On top of that they can be very bad shavers.
Send them to me and I’ll dispose of them safely.
Hope you all are having a good weekend.

For me, it's Godfather, by a mile. I like Scarface, though. I just feel like I need addiction rehab after watching it.
