I've been working on a set, lately.

A few tip's for Steve, cause I know he'll ask, how I do it.
Thank you Mike, you must either be a mind reader or I must be really obvious. That is exactly what I was about to ask

That drum sander looks like a fantastic idea, I can feel an Amazon search coming on.

Drawing the scales free hand is going to be a challenge, art is not my strong point but at least its just on paper so I can keep trying until it looks good eh.

I'm assuming that you will thin those scales and maybe thin the end even more (taper them)?

Making templates from paint sticks is a great idea too, after I make a few I guess I just choose from my collection and don't need to draw freehand any more.

Can I use the same method for bone, horn or even plastic scales?

Can I thin bone, horn or plastic scales on sandpaper or will that hurt them?

Thanks again for the tutorial Mike, any more tips or tutorials you have to offer me will be gratefully received. I think I'm going to need them
