test fitting with screws and an unclean blade and unpolished scales

Scales complete!


198965 198966

all sanded, polished and water tested.

now i just have to insert the razors

yeah there is a bit of a taper, the angle of the photos makes it seem even smaller than it is

Just need the time to!!

Many many test fits. Test fit adjustment test fit adjustment test fit adjustment. They fit and work. Yeah big project for myself, doubt I will do anything similar for a long long time

Unfortunately not. I made it worse than the picture that I put up when I first tried to fix it so it is actually through both sides of the scale. Not perfect but it will do.

I've tried to do...

its been a long while since any progress! but here is some! i hope there are a few people still watching the thread

this is the scale that i splintered a bit while shaping it. i used...

i kinda bounce between projects, to what ever grabs my attention at the time, so i have a quite a few on the go. that in-between work and all the other bits of life

haha my commitment fades in and out, they are almost there, wedges and then polish them. not sure i probly will pin with washers, it feels more finished to me.



after some advice i switched to...

i reckon i should be right to be able to blend it in with the shape of the rest of the scales and the pair. i must have done it along a fault in the bone or something like that. i should have paid...

drilled the holes for each of the scales

while shaping them, i did splinter the side of this one. just went in the wrong direction with the file, with too much force because i...

would that be to stop it sliding around excessively while you try and file it down to size?

Seven rough wedges! Done!

too excited, will continue later tonight

Oh my greatness, in the time it took rezdog for that post, I have now hammered out three wedges from one sinker. So easy! Thank you so much!!!

do you reckon it will be easy to get seven (almost) identical wedges this way?

im trying to make wedges for it, and to put it simply i really suck at it.

i can't get them the same and they take me about 4 hours. im ok for making one for a single razor but i am really...

i like this! the hard part is not separating the scales but getting the tape off of them. metho works well to get the sticky stuff off but it still leaves the plastic strip stuck down. so i have been...

touching base with a little bit of progress, things got put on hold after the acl reconstruction operation

next steps, shaping and wedges, you can see a piece of aluminium...

This is my current problem. But on the good side I have just finished thinning all seven sets. Still a long way to go.

i used the lapping plate idea, using two pieces of stone benchtop samples.

its has taken about a 30-40min per pair to get them to the thickness i am after. its hard work.

the scales and...

Yeah I understand what you mean. They do require some work. But mine haven't been warped. I don't have anyway to cut out my own but I do have bit to shape it. You can see what they looked like when I...

A "thinned" and a "about to be thinned"

i will go into how a little later.

Sounds like a plan, I will get on that soon, just after exams. It does smell a bit, I was a little more worried about the dust, I was super itchy after I unboxed them so I kitted up with respirator,...
