Thanked: 4206I think the "flush ness" of the completed collarless pins is what I find the most attractive about doing em that way. Any collar prevents that from happening. Key is to deeper countersink in the scale for sure, and choice of material.. This stuff is from mascraft and while it works for the aquatic theme I was going for, it's not stiff plastic compared to like a Bakelite.

But they are not supposed to be 'flush', Mike! The rounded peen should be created above the surface and eventually peened down to the surface where they sit a bit proud. Trying to get things flush with the scale seems a good way to break a scale. Like driving a wedge in! ? Here!

I rest my case.

Thanked: 4206I defer to your razor experience of course Tom, and stand corrected.Guess I do em wrong.
But hey, I'm still new-ish to razor rebuilding. And this was my inspiration for collarless I guess. Flush as I can make em was the goal I thought.
Stopping the peening via the hammer when the dome is still so high off the scale would be safer, but I guess I just thought that was all part of the challenge and why presumably it was an indication of a higher standard, or quality of build,, back in the day..
Always learnin,,,

Thanked: 4206Thanks Steve. It's a nice, nimble smaller blade. I bought that material through mascraft as a gamble and wasn't sure it'd work out for scales, but like the effect quite a bit. Only had the one inlay but have a second torpedo blade I'm still going to skin in the same.. Hopefully I might find a trashed torpedo still in original skins to finish the matched effect one day.
Could be a nice weekend set in a small travel kit."Depression is just anger,, without the enthusiasm."
