And that is how it is done!

Man you are code to wrapping this giant project up. It was a fairly large task especially considering how much of it was done by hand. I'm impressed with both your project in general and your...

You are so very close. the end is near. It will be pretty awesome when you have it done. Nice work.

There does not look like a lot of taper on the wedges, whack is not important if there is not a lot of taper on the razor tangs. Have you done a test fit with the blades using machine screws? You...

I have a matched pair of Joseph Elliots for Barbers Use that I have been working on and off for the last year and a half. I made the second pair of scales today, and carved a bone pair for another...

The end is very close. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product. When you were making lead wedges I thought you were almost done. Bone polishes up to a very nice luster. Your set is...

I think it had more to do with drilling the wedge. I can't remember why I started doing it but that makes complete sense too. I glue the rough wedge with CA on one side and assemble with screws...

My thought is yes. Although I have never made seven identical wedges. I think it should work out just fine. It works fast and easy so even if you have to scratch a few it will not take much time...

lead is crazy easy to work with. I have a roll of fat lead that I got from the tackle department at the store. Drip it onto the tail of the vice with a torch and then hammer it into a wedge. It is...

progress is a great thing!

my first thought for thinning requires a drill press. My second thought is to stick them to a board and use a file and a sanding block. They are a little tricky to get nice and even but it is a...

do you have a drill press?

I appreciate everyone that take the time and effort to photograph and post their work in progress threads. The posts are almost as much work as the projects themselves.

That is a great project for your bone scales. They don't look like you need to take a lot off of them for the thickness. I think if you figure out which of you scale pairs is the smallest and match...

they still need quite a bit of work. They are not as much of pre finished scales as pre started scales. If you are lacking the equipment to cut them out easily they are probably a good buy. They...
