    Label scales to be made as left and right.
    Because I chamfered the wrong side of the scale I had spent 4 hours carving.

    My latest stupid mistake, that I hope I learned from, was to pin the blade in upside down. It was a nice, clean, tight pinning too.

    I use to restore razors over a concrete floor till I dropped one after the final buff & it exploded into 5 pieces.

    Rubber mat went down after that & I still managed to drop one that hit the only 6 square inches that were uncovered.
    Damn that Murphy & his law .

    The only solution is not to drop the thangs

    On my own I have figured out that solution to broken scales. For some reason my fingers fail to take my advice.
    Most of the work I do is repairing what I have done.
