now use the wire cutter to remove what remains of the washer, or tap on the pin with a sharp nail, or go just a little further with the cutting wheel.

Looks good so far man!

now support the scales over a gap, and tap out with a nail. slide a blade behind the scale and use to lever the scale off the pin. Go easy, grasshopper.

After some twisting tugging and tapping, here you go
And I forgot to mention, always tape up the cutting end while handling for assembly/ disassembly.
Anyway it was a long 13 hr day at work. More of this another day.

I'm looking forward to following progress. Looks great so far!

Very nice.
I'd like to read more about this "tutorial".

Unfortunately I wont be updating tonight, long day at work and came home to all hell broken loose. Lets just say when building a fence for dogs, consider the size of the dog breaking INTO the yard, not just breaking out.

2 words to solve all fence and dog problems........Hot Wire. :<0) I had German Shorthairs and it was the only way to keep a dog that could scale an 8' block wall in. Sorry for the thread interrupt. carry on..................

You have some good tips here ! I suspect others use some of them or variations ( I Do ) and they are not always mentioned in tutorials and or threads.

I am sure others have different methods, and I'd like to see critiques. I certainly am no expert.

As far as hotwire, never heard of it, can you pm me the info.

So here is the scale depinned.

I have never attempted to straighten a horn, but I knew I had spares to try out on first. Little did I know that I have a near identical match, from a razor I rescaled awhile back. This also had an engraved scale that was pretty beat up.
