    Thanks gents, and before I forget, need to mention how sweet a job you did on those scales, again, shaun.
    Truly a carving artisan you have become with what you can do with bone.

    Regarding the case, yup, back off the leather tension a turn or two and slip it off the case, lift the balsa inner lid and access your blades. Similar to the Palmer and Wosti combo kits I did a few years back.

    This one is for a fellow member who has a pair of non matched vintage blades.
    Rather than have him send me the actual blades I worked from scale photo scans and wooden mock ups of the blades. Sure hope everything fits when this gets to its new home.

    Oh I’d reckon you have more N a few pairs Tommy.
    That most recent set you rebuilt for example, sure shiny and purdy..

    Thanks Mike.
    I sure wish there was not 5200km between our two shops.
    It would make joint projects easier.
