    Default Duh! Centering blades.

    Beating your brains out sometimes gives a solution if you don't wreck something first!

    Having fits attempting to get an old Griffon centering in some bone scales. Way off-center! Spacers here, there, enlarging pin holes a bit.
    Then I thought 'Wish I had some wedge-shaped spacers'. Then I thought, 'I would have to superglue them down, otherwise they would spin and things would be wonkey again!'.

    Like a true genius, I roughed them up on a piece of sandpaper, superglued them down and tapered them with my sanding stick. One this way, one that!

    Worked a champ! I have messed with tangs and scales constantly to correct this. Why did I not think of it before? I have CA'd spacers to lots of bone and ivory in the past. It never crossed my mind!
    I have not seen anyone else do it. NOW you guys are gonna tell me you have been doing it for years!

    "Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
    I rest my case.
