Nice work gents, the bone scales are wonderful. Everything is coming together nicely.

Thanks, I thought it was an improvement. After the suggestions here I went back and looked closer at the pictures of new Filarmonica 13 blades and saw they did have a slight smile. I'm sure it isn't perfect, but it does look better. Originally Posted by outback

Just got her pinned up Rez. I couldn’t get all of the pitting out on the back side but it’s not very noticeable. I’m very happy with the final result. It came out better then expected. Originally Posted by RezDog

Really nice projects happening here guys. Mike, the George Rohr really turned out something special. Great work on the blade/domes/wedge and then the RezDog scales are spectacular, paired perfectly with the rest. Neat project and great collaboration between two very talented craftsmen.

Mixing up another couple rubbersets, didn't like the last results..
And tinkering with an old pocket watch with a broken balance staff.
See the broken nib central-ish to the picture. Dang these parts are tiny!

I think this will be my go to method for hard rubber scales in the future. I’ve used steam in the past and it just causes too much oxidation. I put the scales in a nice flat skillet and leave them on low for 4 or 5 minutes. As soon as they start to feel rubbery I take them out and press them against the back of a DMT under cool running water to set the shape. It’s fast, easy and the scales didn’t change color.
These are going to go on a Joseph Rodgers that I restored last year and forgot about.Last edited by BeJay; 11-11-2017 at 07:10 PM.
