Thread: Step by step restore of a Wostenholm for a member

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.

Warpage is minimal.
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.

The holes align perfectly.
Now I need the owner to decide if he would like this period correct, near perfect match, or should I make a matching scale.
Here is material I have on hand.
It is a close match, but dark streaks throughout. I can position it to remove most but not all.
