Thread: First set of scales, probably not my last

Thank you Maxi!!

Havachat, I did see this video. The minor adjustments still weren't working for me, so I just repinned it last night (just the pivot end). My original pinning job had the pins mushroomed out quite a bit, I think I may have left a little too much material before I started. Anyhoo, what I did was took out the first pin I had put in there, then drilled away a little material on the scales using a slightly larger drill bit and drilling one side in front of the pivot and the other side behind the pivot. This caused the mini spacers I had in there to fall into these little recessions I had created, effectively turning the blade toward the center. It worked for me, I did what I thought could work with what I did have available to me. I just had to be careful which sides to remove material on so that the blade would move toward the direction I wanted it to go. I almost started drilling on a part I shouldn't have! Here's an illustration as to what I did, I show where my blade needed to move to be centered and where I removed material to allow that to happen. Hopefully this will help someone in the future!
