Thread: Don't tell Paco......

great job brian.... thank you!

Nice. It's an Area-51 straight stolen from the Aliens crashed UFO

Very cool scales! I like the 2 toned approach.

Excellent work.

The only suggestion I would make would be to consider using a translucent liner for future projects using cutouts.

Kind of similar to the effect str8traz0r got in these scales: http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...gh-window.html

Thanks for the compliments.

Pauly, thanks for the suggestion. It wasn't the look I was going for on this razor. I'm not opposed to the acrylic, but this razor was a foray into G-10 and liners.

I'd like to start using acrylic for some stuff, but I don't know where to get it, especially some of the really neat types that some people seem to use.

Hi medicevans,

Not a criticism, just saw the cutout and thought it would work with something translucent as well as the bright green G10. I am genuinely impressed by what you've done.

The clear acrylic spacer in the scales str8raz0r did for me on this fellow http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...nica-horn.html was donated from an old clipboard.

I have 200µm PSA backed clear acrylic for making liners, but I too would like to know where some of these really funky acrylics come from, I can find them as pen turning blanks, but but as a sheet material.

Love the planets/circles design btw, really nice

Pauly, absolutely no offense taken! If I can find it, I may end up making something similar from acrylic. I hadn't worked in G-10 very much so I wanted to try a little more difficult project.

Thanks for the comment on the circles Paddy. I wanted to do a ribbon of green the length of the scales, but I don't have a jewelers saw, and my scroll saw just wouldn't do it, so I went to the drill press and made do. It turned out nice I think.
