    So what to do on a long holiday weekend when you have not received the material you have ordered for a restore?

    To THIS:
    Lost a bit of the blade length...
    There was a crack that developed with sanding.

    Everything looks good, and you did a fantastic job, but are you sure those scales should remain on the beautiful blade you just restored? To me, it looks as though all that rust was caused by off gasing witch means they'll only continue to off gas. Maybe I'm wrong...

    Seems like a lot of trouble for a handicapped duckling.

    Same thoughts here but if he's waiting on material & going to make scales then, I'd at least coat the blade with oil for now.
