Yep, thats razor number one. It starts out innocent enough then next thing you know you are laying awake at night trying to figure out how to make more razors. Oh well, at least I enjoy my razor making addiction.

I was fortunate to have a great metal shop teacher in high school. I was also lucky enough to be his teachers aid for a year also. I learned a lot from him. I went to trade school to be machinist after that, I had great teachers and mentors along the way. I try to learn from whomever I can.

It seems that I have always been tinkering and making things, it is what I do, it is who I am.

I have made one kitchen knife. I did not catch the kitchen knife bug like a caught the razor bug.
