Thread: My first attempt

Nice job Legion. How successful were you getting the scales off? Any cracks or broken scales? I busted my first ones.

Check out this post for the washers, I asked the same question and Glen gave an even more detailed answer than the wiki with exactly which part numbers to get:

Got them off in one piece, but it was only really to see if I could. They are pretty ugly and I am going to make some new ones, possibly out of perspex as it should be easier to get hold of than coloured acrylic.

Great job! You brought it back from the near dead.

Bump because I finally finished making the scales. Pretty happy with them being as it is my first try. Next step, learning to hone!

Looks pretty great for first scales. Nice fitting tapered wedge. Neat pinning & all
They're good shavers so you'll know if you get the honing part right

Thats a REALLY great job!

Thats such a dramatic change between the before and after pics.

Real nice work there. I've got a couple of those Invicta's myself and like Oz says they're good shavers, congrats.

I have one question..........What magic spell did you use to get the blade to stand up on the book without falling down????

Besides that .... absolutely great job!

Everything looks great, but your pins are especially good-- very impressive!
