Well, I was in the shop and decided to try a set of Buckeye Burl handle scales out of some scrap for the Magnetosteel razor that I shorted by 1/4" or so. I used a .090" thick ivory Micarta spacer and a set of Dovo pins. The little end cups didn't go over the pins?? Anyone else have this issue?? One I was able to get on, but it popped right off a few minutes later.

I ended up cracking one of the scales when pinning it, so I had to grind the head of the pin away, push it out and superglue the scales back together. Then I pinned it again, but w/o the little cups on the outside of one of the scales. It's kinda loose but has some friction to it. I think I need to thin down the scales a bit more so they are more flexible and do a wedge in the end instead of a spacer since the blade isn't very tight. I have some 1/8" Ivory Micarta sheets here, so I will play with that until I get this figured out, cheaper than stabilized wood to screw up!
