    Default ambitious newbie needs advice for restoration

    So I'm trying my hand at restoring an old razor off of Ebay. Unfortunately, in my zealous I didn't notice the razor had no measurements of any kind, so I'm not really sure what size scales to order/make for the blade.
    Also, I'm trying to find out as much as possible on pinning and peening & hand sanding. I'll try to post up some pics soon, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    jester,

    Here's a couple of videos by Charlie, Spazola. One on making scales, minimal tools, and another on pinning and peening.

    Hey Jester! Glad to know there is another Texan from my neck of the woods. I am still a newbie of sorts but I already have a few restorations under my belt. Let me know if I can ever be of help with hands on advice.
