Thread: Making Self Wedging Scales

I've done this a few times on the belt sander, by hanging the 'wedge' part off of the belt and sanding down the rest. On later scales (mid 1800s) that had cheaper wedgeless scales, I've seen a lot where the 'wedge' was half and half on each scale, but from most old razors (1700s) like the scales you have pictured I've generally seen that the 'wedge' is only on one side, with the other scale being just flat.
