    Each time you do a set you're going to learn something. That's what I love about it. I've never made a perfect set of scales, because each one has a small flaw that taught me something. The other half of the battle is learning how to fix the flaw

    I think you're doing well, considering this is your third set. Your wedge is nicely tapered....which took me about 30 sets to learn how to do properly and consistently.

    If I may make a suggestion: After you've roughed in your scales on the sander/hand sanding/dremel, try to bevel your sides. Begin at a 45 degree angle, and then taper in both directions until you have a smooth curve. Don't try to get it perfect, that's what 220 grit sandpaper is for.

    The beveled edges will help make the scales look smaller and will also take off some weight, helping with the balance.

    I hope it was ok for me to give my two cents, and again, I think you're doing really well. Keep going!
