What basic tools do I need to cut and shape wood scales?
The title pretty much says it all. What are the minimum and most inexpensive tools that I will need to cut and shape high quality wood scales? I would like to invest the least amount of money as possible while still being able to make high quality scales; I don't really care how much longer it takes at this point (as long as it is reasonable) as I am only going to be making scales for a few razors now. Later on I will probably be willing to buy or find more tools, but I am just trying to find out what I NEED. I am guessing that I will need at least some type of hand saw to cut out a rough outline of the scale (maybe something that would cut pipe); then a dremel with some type of attachment to further shape the scale before finishing it by hand. Am I at least on the right track? I should be getting the wood pre-cut into scale blanks, so that should cut down some of the time and tools that I will need right?
Thanks,
David
