Thread: My first re-scaling...comment please

I really like what you did with the nuts on the show side would love to see pics of the reverse too...
What wedge did you use, it looks like maybe brass????
If so great choice to match the pins (hardware)
As to the wood choice, and finish choice, that really doesn't matter what we think of the look, as the saying goes beauty is in the eye of the beholder..... it looks as though you did a very good job though, and that is really what counts....
(I like the mahogany look BTW)

I think it's awesome how easy you make it sound. "I just slapped these together since I had a few minutes."

They look very nice.

I think you did a great job.

The scales look great... I like those "low rider" bolts.

Gives me ideas... the bolt countersink into the scales.

Nice work.

That would be awesome.

Guys have done the countersunk bolts thing- in my opinion it looks pretty bad. The bolt side ends up being flat for the most part while to maintain the "adjustability" the other side protrudes. Maybe try sinking the bolts halfway and then sanding the screw head?

Very fine job, in my opinion. Like the naturally look of the wood.

I´m really suprised about the Florena tube at the picture. Its an shave product, produced primary in east germany. I never had thought, that it is available in canada.

It's very easy to get around here, in the old "florena" form and the new "Nivea for Men" form.

Very nice job! She looks great!!

Hey Jacques,

Nice work!! Looks great!! And for your detractor(s), what do they know from grain? Guard the door; I hear a path being beaten there as I type.
