HAHAHA! THE SCALES ARE DONE!
The scales ended up being longer towards the bottom so the razor can " sit" on the scales. the wedge is square cut Australian wenge. Only peeve is that the blade is not as tight as i wanted so it might get a strap or locking mechanism eventually( peening the pin more won't work , its tight to the scales).

with regards the loose pivot, could you put a pair of washers inside the scales, loose pivots make for difficult stropping in my experience. its also nice if the scales stay put when you are shaving too.

Thanked: 2on the note of the angle/spine/length.
From the research i did a common ratio for razor is 4:1 , so for ever inch of blade, the spine should go up a quarter inch. Ideally for a 9/8" blade you need a spine of 3/8". currently it's 3/16" (fine for a 6/8).
on another note of people saying it rusts, any blade will rust if you don't take care of it and leave it in a wet environment.

i did fix the loose scales issue the pin mushroomed incorrectly and required more peening
i did a mock shave and the the big scales don't impede my motionsLast edited by honorakr; 01-11-2015 at 11:16 PM.
