    Rez,

    I didn't do much all summer. Feels good to get back to some projects.

    Speaking of which, these have been soaking since yesterday. I have tomorrow off, so I'll try to pin 'em up.

    Put um next to a heat register, or near the heat of your furnace. It speeds up the process some. If they've warped, run a clothes iron over them, to flatten.

    make sure to clean the oil off of them first.

    D'oh, that's the worst possible place for a break! I doubt that can be fixed (unless Mike knows how lol!).

    (Oh, and check your PM's-I took some more pics of that hone for you).
    There are many roads to sharp.

    I was thinking of splicing in a piece from a donor set further down near that bolster, epoxy them together with some ground up horn dust, sanding to get them to match and then dying the scales black.

    Not even sure if that would hold since there is still going to be some pressure from the scales bending toward the pivot.

    CA usually sets pretty quick, doesn't it?

    How long would you wait before testing it?

    Do you have any quick set, spray.? (Accelerator). If not give it 5-10 minutes

    Do it on a piece of waxed paper, so everything is flat..
