Thread: Gold Dollar Razor Scans

Hey,

Can someone scan the blades of unscaled Gold Dollars?
Would be nice, cause I have the option to do some woodwork now, but I'm not able to buy some Gold Dollars now.
So a scan from a flatbed scanner would be perfect to plan the scales.

Thank you

Welcome aboard Chris,,,,,,,,,,

After reading through your posts on SRP,,, it indicates that you are located in Germany; is that true?
How are you having difficulty in obtaining a Gold Dollar to rescale?

Let us know a little more about your situation & something can be worked out.

Hi Hirlau,

Yes, I'm located in Germany. The problem consists of two problems:

1. I'm a bit short of money. I know 5$ is quite little money, but I just can't spend money for something like this for the next two month.
2. I have access to industry grade woodworking machines and free hardwood, which ends in two month.

So making scales now and buying and scaling the Gold Dollars later seems like a good solution to me.

Hello. any reason it has to be a Gold dollar? Are you just looking to make scales? Scales can be made without a lot or any power tools. Are you looking to making these on a 3D printer? do you have access to a straight razor or any other scales? A little more information on your final objective would be helpful. The fun part of making scales is in the design. Unless I just wanted to make blanks or a specific scale I would design the scale around the blade. I am sure you can get dimensions online. I don't have a gold dollar but if you want I can send you scans of other blades. PM me your email and I will send them to you. Good luck.

Would like to play arround with Gold Dollars in the near future.

Also the info how big the arm hole is, would be great!

With a quick search I found this >>> http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...ml#post1575206

You may be able to draw something up from that info. or a little more searching may lead you to some better measurements. Lots of guys in here have played with Gold Dollars but the excitement seems to have died down :<0)

It's a restoration for a different blade but he compares this blade to a Gold Dollar and uses GD scales he traced.

This fellow may be able to help you if you can contact him. He loved playing with Gold Dollars :<0) http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...ml#post1208432

I might be able to help you out when I get home with some scans and traces if nobody beats me to it
