I see.I think my peening hammer it cheep and not vey good

Also I made the cardinal mistake of trying to drill the holes with a cordless drill on a pair of dovo scales. They were scales I'd...

Very nice.
Thanks for the tips.
I bought a Doming Bench block and also a larger Rubber Bench Block to cushion it :shrug:

Also I drilled a few holes to help me peen.


One thing I noticed is...

Its all done. All I had to do was clip off the top of the pinning rod and it was ok.
They are re pinned now. The edge just misses the scales .Its gonna have to do

Yeh I just ordered a pin vice. Cheers

I had my first attempt at pinning today, I say attempt.

I decided to re pin the T.I scales with the crooked holes.

The pinning rods I had bought 1.5mm were too large for the scales so I had to...

That's a good idea.
Holding these scales now and looking at them I'm thinking that they are delicate little things and its not like there is really anywhere for new holes to be drilled.
I think I...

I hadn't considered that the hole is slanted and not straight.
I was planning on drilling just the one scale to be inline with the other pre drilled hole but now I get it both holes are slanted so...

Thanks.
I was going to tape the scales together and then with a micro drill bit , place the bit through the pin hole of the good scale, onto the second scale and drill through.

Edit: your...

I have ordered some cheapo Epoxy - could be a mistake.
I was thinking along the same lines as you but placing tape on the external part of the scales . I want to try to avoid sanding down the...

I would never ask some one to a job that I would enjoy doing /learning myself.

I should really just put it back together and return it to my brother but instead I will fill one hole and then drill...

The picbone scales are broke and there is a piece missing .
Most importantly they are ugly to me.
Maybe when I see them in real life I might change my mind?

Should I shove some Epoxy in the hole and then drill out a new one?
Any tips would help. I've never used Epoxy before and getting it to fill the hole might be dodgy or am I being a big girl about it...

I think the reason the blade sits to one side is because the pin holes are not in alignment.

The blade is straight.
Maybe the craftsman was drunk with a hand held drill?
You can see light through the holes but its drilled at an angle.
I'll put it together with micro bolts and see what...

I've also just realised that the pin holes were drilled at an angle. I've marked them out in the picture below:

They are broken at the top with a piece missing .
Plus I like new shiny things.
The horn scales im using will do for a time or depending on the finished restoration of the blade, I haven't received...

Ok so there is more to it than just a gap filler..

I will be using these cheap ebay horn scales on this W&B blade.

If I had the tools I would like to fashion the scales from wood.
...

I have these to do now and a restoration in a while which includes making a wedge.

I take it the wedge can be flat or does it have to be wedge shaped?

I've removed a pins from 2 razors in the past but I didn't like my technique . Using flat cutters and brute force damaged the scales . I was replacing those scales so it didn't matter if I damaged...

Jobs a gooden.
I copied a YouTube video and used my Dremel cutter .

Now its out of the scales I can clean up the areas I couldn't get to before.
My brother has no respect for his razors and lets...

In my defence, its not my razor :shrug:

Is there a special trick to removing the pin?

If the blade is closed in the scales dosnt that mean it is centered?

Many thanks.
I can see that both sides of the pin are skew whiff. A few months ago when I first tightened it I was bashing it quite hard so I must have bent it then.
I just hope I don't destroy his...

Hi, I need some advise please.

I've been tightening up my brothers straight. It was so loose that honing and stropping it was awkward.

I did some light tapping on the pin and tightened it up.
