Hey all,
This is the project that I'm working on this weekend.
I was a bit tired of doing the same type of styles for scales, so i challenged myself to see how light I could make a set of metal scales and still keep them functional, artistic and elegant.
After playing with sketches of different styles, this Art Deco type design was the winner this time around.
Here is the origional sketch and the first scale cut.
enjoy, and have a great weekend!
That is one of my favorite ones that you have done. You have a great eye for design and the talent and know how to follow through with it. You rock!

I always open threads started by you with great anticipation!
And yet again, it contains some truly wonderful works of art.
I am so impressed with these scales you make.
These current one's are stunning!!
I really need to stop looking at your threads (or any of this forum for that matter), I've had more ideas sparked in my head than I have razors to put em on.
That's the stuff!!
OH MY! Here we go again! Looking forward to it!
'this Art Deco type design was the winner this time around"
I agree!

The Torrey wasn't light enough? lol
Here's the finished project.
#77 Friedr. Herder ABR Sohn from Soligen, Germany
5/8 round nose.
Scales are cut nickle with brass pin and piviot, and a blue acrylic wedge.
Believe it or not I finally made a set of scales that are lighter than the blade...lol
yeah, the last pic makes my eyes hurt too...:p
enjoy!!
I'm gonna have to get you to cut me some scales sometime, that is just amazing.
Shutterbug,
I have said this before - you are an absolute craftsman and artist with the patience of a saint.
Please keep up your good and wonderful work. We are in awe..............!!!
What equipment do you use to make your scales?
