No problem, thats what we are here for. Oh, and make sure you get size 0 washers and 1/16" rod, be it brass or nickel.

I buy planks of walnut at a craft store in town, it is 24" x 3" x 1/8", the perfect thickness for scales which is great without machinery to saw it down to size.

And I use a tool from the welding...

Oh, and I wrote a nice long explanation for another member about how to do the whole thing without tools, and I decided to add it to the wiki here...

I'm a college student in an apartment. I finished a set of scales last night.
