Thread: kevors new scales

Pff, it's been a while. Been busy with work, school and heavy drinking
All the parts I needed are in, the pins and washers have arrived a week ago. The hammer was a big problem, ended up making one myself from an old hammer! The only one I found was very small and costed 45 euro...
I think it's time to start pinning my razor this afternoon.

finished...
*sigh*

I'm glad to show you these pictures:

I wasn't sure what to think of the shape earlier in the process but the scales came out real nice. Very impressive for a first set of scales.

That pinning looks good! Does it sit centre of the scales?
Well done for finishing it. I wouldn't have had the patience to work through it!
You must be pleased with the result.

Thanks Piet, Ben,
Special thanks to Ben, you gave me some good advice which I can take with me for my next scales... About the pin, it looks off centre because of the curved scale, but it's right in the middle.

Overall I'm pretty pleased with the work, it's far from perfect, but I did learn a lot and bought/made all the necessary tools.
Next set will be a lot easier!

And besides, making these was loads of fun Just wish I had more razors :P
