So, wanted to find a little two hour project this morning to relax from a long week. While making pancakes for my grandson he insisted we 'wash beard'. He loves to pretend to shave with me; perfect project - a toy razor for him. This was a quick down and dirty kind of thing so no pictures of the build, just the finished product. In fact, I didn't even go look at mine and as soon as I put them next to each other realized that I cut the 'blade' backwards so I might make another one. Just doesn't look right :-). Just in case a safety freak sees this; not to worry it's not sharp....
In words the build went like this:
- Rip a couple of strips of oak out of the scrap pile for the handle
- Rip the center out of an old linoleum transition strip that has been laying in the garage for at least 15 years (good thing I saved it right?) for the blade
- Sand the aluminum blade to take off the burrs
- Sand the wood handle to shape
- Drill holes
- Pop rivet the blade in place and the back with washers for spacers
- Try it out!
