Kevin and I have been in correspondence for a while now, planning razors with stands as gifts for his brother and dad. I (finally) started working on them.
First, the matching pieces are measured and cut. The stands are about 1/8" longer than the shave handles.
Each piece is drilled at 7mm to accommodate the brass tubes. Here the blanks are drilled on the lathe, which turns the blank against the steady drill bit.
The holes are then painted white. Since the acrylic has translucent swirls, the paint will help disguise the brass tube and reflect light back out, accentuating the blanks' brilliant colors.
After the paint dries, the tubes are epoxied in place.
