Thread: Rescaling how-to's?

I've been using the search, but it gives me no result.
I'm specifically looking for a tutorial on making a one-piece scale, I've seen it somewhere, but I'm not able to track the topic.
Tutorials on regular rescaling are welcome too.

Thanx in advance,

Check out the restoration forum FAQ, there are a lot of good resources linked here

There are no tutorials on one-piece scales AFAIK.
Perhaps I should do one.
Anyone want to come over and hold a camera?

I remember one of our members showed how to make one piece scales with a mitre saw a while ago, but it may have been lost in the crash - do an advanced search for "mitre" or something like that...

Hope that helps,
Mark

Okay, found it!

I tried a set but became so distracted thinking how cool it was going to look that my cut became as wrongish. So i decided to make a set of self wedging scales instead and glued the halves at the end.

I will try it again later. But the basic idea is layout the V and cut the line with a handsaw with the mind focused. no need to bring electric current into it
