Yeah I returned the variable speed buffer after I destroyed that 9/8 FBU W&B.... probably gonna just use a clear glossy poly and keep the natural color...ive got some bigger buffing wheels for the dremel, may try it on scrap before I put it on the scales.

I've read enough horror for a week!


Dremel may work if you can get some paste or compound applied to the wheels.

Ive got plenty of compounds, ill give it a try

Thanks sharptonn, think ill go brass

And then this!

What y'all think? Lotta firsts for me on this one, pinning, crafting scales etc.

Nice work, very clean execution!

The size/thickness of the scales all looks to be in order. Did you use rivets to pin it together?

No I used collars that sharptonn hooked me up with, ill post a pic up in a sec

These pins...and countersunk collars...worked rather well
