I just bought some scales from theinvisibleedge.co.uk,some stuff from microfasteners.com and replaced some scales. that was pretty easy..

I tried unpinning some razors and I smashed the scales in the process.. they where broken anyway but I tried to unpin them without further damage.. unpinning is more difficult than putting new ones on with microfasteners..havent tried peening them..

I also bought some wenge wood of about 5mm thick and will have some fun making scales with it. (I also bought some wedges from the invisible edge).

Have fun!
