    Default recycling material for scales

    The blade is a Union cut. Olean NY 5/8 with bad scales but didnt do nothing to blade. It is my first set of scales that I made using old clipboard for scales and emergency reflector for wedge. For my first set I think it's nice except the fact that I went to hard when I drilled the pin holes and it cracked a bit. As they say you learn with mistakes... Next step is pinning technique(I put some machined screws didnt want to crack'em up more) Need to start somewhere! sorry for bad pics

    I really like the wedge too, I wanted the something that pop-out of the transparent scales and found the reflector in the garage.

    I love the reflector. I have hundreds of those around and never even thought about it.

    I use a Dremel to cut the clipboard and to roughly shape the scales. Did all the rest by hand.
    Thanks

    Sometimes when drilling plastics a little masking tape will help keep it from cracking.
