Restoration Chat Tuesdays 8:00pm EST

gssixgun · 01-23-2008, 06:36 PM

The first Restoration Chat was last night, I would consider it a success, there were 10 members that showed up..... Most of us stayed on for about 2 1/2 hours, several different ideas were discussed about scales and new production of scales using acrylics.... Topics also included polishing blades, re-pinning and the use of micro nuts and bolts....As well as some general shaving topics..... Please feel free to join us next week same time same channel...

Unfortunately -and despite lots of training- my body still needs it.
Let me describe how the previous night went (it is now 7.15)

23.00 - I finish my 1 glass of whisky and go to bed.
24.00 - Nele wakes up so my wife has to go out and put that thingy (pacifier?) in her mouth so that she can sleep again.
02.00 - the same again
02.15 - the same again
02.30 - the same again, but now I get out of bed
02.40 - the same again. I check the diaper, and it ad absorbed pretty much all it can. This doesn't usualy happen, and there was no smell so we don't check unless there is a problem, because then both she and I will be fully awake. Which is exactly what we are by now.
02.50 - she doesn't want to sleep yet, and when she talks, she loses that thingy again, so I spend the next 10 minutes standing aside het bed in the dark, in the cold, to put that thing back as soon as she spits it out. in the end she falls asleep, and I can now go back into bed, fully awake.
04.55 - my wife is briefly awake, checks her alarm clock, accidentally triggers it, and we both wake up
05.40 - Kato wakes up and thinks it is time to snuggle in our bed. I tell her she has to wait for the alarm, and put her back in her bed.
06.25 - Kato snuggles in our bed 5 minutes early, so I can cuddle her briefly.
06.30 - the alram clock went off and I get up.

Admittedly, this was the worst night of the week, but we get this weekly or biweekly.
Most nights we wake up only twice or thrice. And every blue moon we only wake up once.
A whole night sleep only happens only if the kids are at my parents.

Actually I am still amazed at how well I function during the day, considering the scant hous of broken sleep I got.

Still, that doesn't mean I have it in me to chat on a weeknight from 2AM to 4AM, and then get up for work at 6:30.
So I'll take a rain check for now.

Bruno Diaper... Brain Hurt... Ughhh

Sorry I missed the chat.

Glad I missed changing those diapers

Wish I could stay up / get up to join you guys also but it's silly o'clock for me .. as some of you know when I've appeared on the Sunday chat .
I'm not a the full restoration stage but a lot of my razors are ebay purchases which I've cleaned up so they are acceptable but a load have water marks etc .. I'd love to get some tips ... I wanna get scales as well for a good few but I've not got the machinery for that stuff so it's gonna be Dovo or TI replacements

gssixgun · 01-28-2008, 08:11 PM

The second Restore Chat was even better than the first,.... Still a hot topic was poured resin scales, re-pinning, and as always RUST removal, were discussed....Joe Chandler stopped in and added his vast knowledge in the world of razors to the chat.... Remember every Tuesday night 8:00pm EST, bring your latest project along, pull up a chair, and lets talk about it.....

zman · 01-31-2008, 02:16 PM

I agree the second chat was better than the first.
Glen is doing a GREAT job getting everyone together and coordinating the chat. Count me in for next Tuesday.

RobertFontaine · 01-31-2008, 02:18 PM

Joe gave me some good insight into honing when I got tired of sanding down my pitted frameback (while the hones were soaking).

I'm thinking by next Tuesday I will be half done my first set of scales.
mmmm, zebra.
