They are 0-80 X 1/2

Same as were used HERE.

As soon as I can get my hands on some more blades that need some TLC I am going to do more. I just have nowhere around my town or surrounding area that deals in razors. LOL But I am looking for some...

O.K. after a few late nights and many episodes of Firefly, I think I am just about done.

I went back to the first set that I broke to see if I could fix them. What do you know, I was! I used some...

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Before I even got them glued up I dropped one of the new ones and in trying to catch it I stepped on the DAMN thing! I...

^^^ Thats whats weird is I did roughen up the brass and cleaned it before epoxying them together. All I can think is that I didn't roughen up the clay side, but it is so rough anyway I figured it...

Yeah they were epoxied in and everything. It was just the weird angle that it landed, and the fact that I tried to catch it at first and then sorta bumped it a bit higher than it was when I dropped...

UPDATE:

After being sick for three days, I got out all my stuff and decided to finish up the scales. I get everything to the point of fitting up the spacer and I nicked my hand and dropped the...

Back on topic... Got the liner epoxied in tonight. Turned out better than I thought ((Considering that I have never done scales before)).

I ground down one spot to make sure that the brass and the...

^^^ I have spent at least 30 hours since I read that look for a picture or even a write up on it. Nothing. So I want to see the pics too!!!!

And the bendy part...They are quite soft, but with a liner, there is no problem with them bending enough to cause a problem.

I just can't wait to get them all done!!!! I have to cut the brass liner today, and then pin them up. First however....I need some sleep! :y

UPDATE:

I just got done baking a set of black and glow in the dark scales. Here is what I have so far. I have some brass for a liner and brass pins for it. I am also going to gloss coat the scales...

I just did a few dry runs to see what I could do with the black and glow clay. I did get an interesting "accident" when I scrapped one idea I was trying. I had balled up a lump of the two clays and...

I am thinking for doing the scale all black but then having an F-hole design on each side in the glow i the dark. Or some other design. I really haven't gotten that far yet. LOL

Just thought I would share a funny idea I had. I was at the hobby store and looking at some Fimo to try out a set of real scales. Then I saw this (GLOW FIMO) and though what the hell. So I am gonna...

Yeah, they make a glaze for Fimo that makes it look like GLASS! It is amazing. Waterproof, and easy to use. Your local hobby store should have it right next to the Fimo and stuff.

Yeah, its just Sculpey. No reinforcement, or backing. I am really thinking of trying a set on the blade i bought today.

O.K. as far as the scale flexing, it does great! FLEXING VIDEO, I did that just to show how flexible the stuff is.

Then after a few rounds of flexing it. I decided that I should try a drop test....

That I dont know. I am gonna make the other side today, and then put it through some stress tests! LOL ((Yeah, the 10 year old in me still likes to try to break things!)) So we will see how it does....

After reading your idea here I just did a quick experiment today to see if it would be strong enough just rolling out the clay and then baking it in a scale shape. It worked great!

Here is what I...
