    I put the "cross beam" on the left side only just to mix it up a bit. This was my first time using my scroll saw to do fine cutting. Usually I just rough out the scales and sand them on the belt sander. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I just traced out the shape with a pencil on the rough cut scales then cut them out followed by some filing to fix my unsteady areas.

    Good job mate!!!

    Thanks Mike. I steampunked the razor I bought from you too! I sold it a couple weeks ago. That blade was perfect for the hammered copper scales!

    PS Have you had to shave the beard yet?
    Paco!! You were only about 40 min from my house when we met My "shop" is just a small corner in the garage that's so packed with woodworking stuff, reloading tools and scale stuff that I don't think we could both fit!! Yeah I still have the beard. I've made a deal with the wife that when I drop a few more pounds I will shave it off. I'm getting close!!

    Tum,

    Beautiful job on the XLNT!! I really didn't care for how I shaved with it, which is why I sold it, but now I see it was meant to happen.! Great job man!! I love it. I should have bought it back, LOL!

    Best bro!

    Mike
