Thanks so much for you kind and generous offer but I really don't want to waste any of your materials.

I've never so much as tightened a pin successfully so I am right at the bottom of the learning curve.

I do have a blade with no scales and I am considering trying to put scales on it.

My tools that might kind of work are a full size table saw with a rip blade at the moment, a 1oz ball pein hammer, a small vice, a pin drill thing, a full size drill/screwdriver, a hacksaw, a coping saw, a dremel and some wet n dry.

I'm thinking that maybe some pre-made and wedged scales might be a worthwhile start so i only have to try to pin the hinge.

I have been half tempted to send it to someone to scale for me but that feels like cheating and I'll never learn if i don't try.

I know here's a lot of how to rescale information here but any tips would be more than welcome.
