I now have a Shave Den!

Post by southpaw »

Yippee!!!! :D :D :D :D

Here's a quick shot of the shelf that was already in my bathroom (sure, it's off the old den which is now my home office, accessed through the laundry room, but it's mine, all mine!

OCD sure, but I'd have trouble leaving those bowls with their lids not lined up:

I realise that I have a problem.

I'm with you on that one. I'd have to have those Dr. Harris labels lined up...

Nice shave den, though! Congrats

:shock: Ok, gang, I'm still getting settled in and organized. Just so you two can rest easy, I went and straightened the labels. Happy now? :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

Very nice setup.
Perhaps I'll do the same when I'm no longer an apartment dweller and can screw things into the wall with impunity. :wink:

Already on the wall? Of course it was. It was divine shaving product destiny! :lol: :lol:

Nice setup indeed.

Very organized! Well done. Makes me want to take a pic of my honing station where I spend much happy time. Picture an 18"x24" black granite surface plate on an isolation table with a Shapton Pond on top and a tray lined with artificial turf underneath with a full set of Shaptons. There's room on top for the DGLP and the Stone Holder and hooks on the sides for a pressure sprayer, OptiVisors, and machinist's straight edge nearby. Overhead is a 4' double fluorescent light. On the floor, tucked under the stone tray is a cat box where I dump the swarf. This rig is rock solid, level, and eliminates all of the variables I encountered on the shop bench and in on the kitchen counter. Heaven!

Good Job...

If I had the space, I'd try to set one up. As it is, I only have a bathroom closet for my "stuff'. Not displayed real fancy, but at least it's there...

Congratulations... :D

Nice.

FWIW, I personally don't have an issue with labels not being lined up -- it adds a touch of eccentricity to the den. :wink:

It also makes me want you to take a photo of that setup. Sounds very cool.


Oh, and that shelf is nicely stocked, Michael.
