    Default My first restore with Larry's silver tip knot

    I just glued this Every Ready 150 up with Whipped Dog silver tip set it about 48 mm for a good back bone I face lather and bowl lather I have a feeling this knot is going to excel with either method. Thanks Larry for your help in this first restore great guy.Click image for larger version.

    Excellent work.

    Is the Whipped Dog a 22 mm?

    I have done a couple of those myself, one at 23 mm (which I had to sand the opening to accept the larger knot) and the other at a 20 mm that allowed for the black retainer to be spared.

    Great first restore! Looks like you already have the hang of things! Like GDCarrington said, this is a pretty addictive hobby, with tons of support.

    It's all good, even when it's not.

    Great job. It's always a pleasure to see an old handle get a new knot. It's good to go for another 10+ years.
