Thread: What are you working on?

The blade is stamped 1189 1/2. If that helps.

If he did, then I know I trained her well.
But $15 each is still worth it, and there's someone out there that would pay more....just for the scales!! [emoji38]

Well, I suppose any number might do! Some mighty fine scales, it seems!

Unpinned the Wosty, cut the rust with a SE razor blade, hit it with Emory on a stitched dremmel wheel. We have pits, but nothing can be done, the blade is a extremely thin grind, and doesn't offer anything to sand.

Looks like a good enough deal. You gonna rescale the Wosty? That red looks kinda wrong on a Sheffield. They look like they belong on an American blade.

I'm gonna look thru my scale collection, see if I got something more appropriate.
If not, off to the wood pile.
Or put them back in them, till something better comes along.

Finished cleaning up the Wosty.
And with a bit of modification,
( thin wedge,repair & relocate existing wedge pin hole ) these scales seem to be a nice match.

That looks super, outback! FME, those scales could have come with any number of blades in them.
The bottom pin was added, I think as the old glue there likely let go long ago. No bottom pin as-original.

People call this pattern all sorts of things, but it is a mermaid!
See the flipper at the pivot end?

Yep. So I should just glue it again. Its been bouncing around in my head, but haven't made a decision. The old pin holes have been filled, and I'm about to put the lamp to them, and flatten them out, now.

Looks like you got a bit close with that heat lamp before?

No .. Not me.
Idiot at work leaned into it with a nylon wind breaker on.
Don't stop wind any more.[emoji23] [emoji23]
