Nice go. Any challenges getting the blade to center?

See and you thought the scales would be hard. They turned out awesome. Nice color on them too. The whole package looks very nice and sleek. I like how the blade sits low in the scales where only the spine shows. Originally Posted by Gonzo4str8rzrs

appreciate the kind words. Ia m sure you can teach me a few things to tweak my next restore. Will you be able to make meeting? You were not sure. I hope so, we can have a good discussion about restoration and such. Originally Posted by TwistedOak

Try making your own wedge next time!
As for the meetup, still up in the air on whether I'll make it.

Yes, I will need to do a wedge. I am going to work on a Joseph Rodgers next. Hoping you can make the meeting. Originally Posted by TwistedOak

lead wedges are so easy to make. You can get lead in a roll at the fishing store, take a torch and drip a blob on to the tail of the vice. When it has cooled hit it with a large hammer to flatten it into a large wedge shape and just guess at the size. rough sale it and put it in the scales with double sided tape, take it out and adjust the size as needed, finish off the rough shaping and tape it in and drill it half way from each side. No risk of wiping your finger prints off in the sander.
