Hey folks. I asked this during the Sun. night chat, but had to leave before I got an answer.

I am making wooden scales with a CA finish and would like to use a brass wedge with them. M question is, when do you insert the wedge, and how?

Do you;

  1. Trace the profile after the scales are finished, shape and polish it separately, then add it on final assembly?
  2. Add an oversized wedge to the scale and assemble it. Then, grind down the wedge to the scale profile and refinish the scales in that area?
  3. Carefully grind down the wedge once inserted, trying not to touch the scales?
  4. Use some other method?

Thanks,
John
