Thread: Union Spike - large washers needed

I think you could use flat washers slightly domed also if you cant reclaim them as they are a fairly flat washer
these are Originals on mine from a different angle

A small ball pein hammer and a block of hardwood endgrain up will do that job. Hit the ball pein hammer with another hammer to dish the washer below it.
I often used parts of this set to make whatever washers I wanted:

One of your cheapo stores should also carry them.

Thanks gents. My first goal is to remove the scales by drilling out, without damaging the original collars. As already stated though, it's good to have a plan B. Spares would be good to have. Suppose if I ruin the originals, I'll have to get creative!

Here is how I drill them in the middle, beginning in post 27 of this thread: http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...le-halves.html

Other ways to do it in the workshop sticky's as well.

This was great. Very good tutorial sharptonn. Thanks.
