Maybe the......

I have used

Someone has already thought of most all of my ideas but I have to keep trying.

I was thinking of a more classier look...

The scales look great but your post got me thinking. I wonder how it would look to possibly engrave the brass as in putting a monogram or design there.

Good for adhesion.

It could also have been dropped on the floor by the PO or maybe it was dropped in a cup 3 or 4 inches a day for years.....

If you are going to tig it put a rattle on the end.

Today I picked up this already shortened Union Razor Works.

Old job, rust on the toe! I will see if the blade can be saved but I certainly can find a use for the scales.

I think that you are going to fast and expecting instant results.

I am guilty of this.

Leave them for at least a week in each media to see the results to get a true result.

I am not saying...

I have tried Redwood for scales and didn't like it.

How many different shapes/variations of scales are there?:shrug:

I think both of them are to bulky looking.

Just my opinion.

I am not a scientist and will stop after this.

Pinging etc. would be caused by movement. Temperature change would be my first thought but expansion of rust in a crack could behave similar to ice...

You are saying that it is cracking 2 hours after the bluing? It should be stabilized in temp by then.

I would be more worried about heating and stress caused by using a dremel on a full hollow.
...

I agree that it is done and over. Life will go on but it is always interesting to figure out why so we or anyone else doesn't do it again.

The boiling point of household vinegar [5% acetic acid] is about 100.6 'C/213'F.

I have a hard time thinking that at that temp it caused the crack.

I think you cleaned up an existing...

I think it was always there and you just see it now.

+1 Give it a try the way it is before you do anything extreme.

Nothing wrong at all with your scales but I personally would have left them in the old scales. :shrug:

Here are a couple of pictures of one half homemade scales that I think are really cool in their own way. Some one said OH----!

I wonder what the story behind them is????

:tu,,,,,,,,

I would resell it as is.

RARE BROWN IVORY and only slight hone wear!

OOPs wrong thread.:rofl2:

Looks like you have a interesting learning project on your hands.:tu

:(........

I hesitate to bring up the word Knife... But for example I picked up a 50 cent 2 1/5 bladed Boker pocket knife this last week also. It won't become my EDC but will become a good little...

Just can't stay away from this thread....:shrug:

I got this this last weekend. No cracks I can see near the chip.

I think that I can save the 2 washers!

Any thoughts on how to go from here?...

I have many projects waiting until I retire.

I hope I make it that far.....:rofl2:

I love this thread but to much to follow....

14 years to go til I retire.

To much to do then.

Maybe I will necropost in 30 years?????
