Thread: Start to Finish Razor Restore !!!!

Thanks for the detailed photos. They really help beginners like me. I am in the process of making my first two sets of custom scales. A local lumber shop gave me a nice thin scrap of oak that I am shaping/staining into scales. I'll post some pictures of my (hopefully successful) first try in the next week or two.

Excellent thread! I've often wondered if rubber cement could be used to hold the two halves together, but wondered about prying them apart. This is probably the most helpful post I've read yet, for making scales. Many, many thanks.

You know this thread is about 2 years old and I just read through it, and honestly I still do scales pretty much the same,,, The only thing I can think to add is that when you are pinning the wedge end you should leave the Mock tang in place to keep everything lined up as you are tapping the pins in place.... Also like most things you tighten, you should set all the pins then tighten them in gradually, just like you tighten lug nuts by gradually tightening each one in...

Thanks for the share glen! Good work!

Thanks Glen, absolutely brilliant post! An absolute godsend to newbie's like myself who want to learn the art of razor restoration. Thanks again, and keep 'em commin' to

Damn old thread going on 8 years now

Just looked through it too and honestly I still do much of it the same way .. I have more tools and some parts are now much easier, but the steps are still pretty much the same...
