Joh. Engstrom work in progress

**Pendulum** · 10-02-2009, 03:01 AM

So after my last miserable attempt at making scales (all by hand) I asked my grandpa to get out the scroll saw and a belt sander. This made everything more accurate and 100 times better. Let me know what you think.

Birdseye maple

Going to replace micro fasteners with all brass hardware.

Blade is a Joh. Engstrom Ran-Tan Ka-Rus Red Devil made in sweden

Thinking CA finish or some oil. Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks for looking

The Wedge was lose cause i hadn't tightened the micro fastener completely. It sits flush with the scales

Looks good! What's the wedge made of? Make sure you post pictures when it's all done.

Here's a couple threads I bookmarked, for when I make some wooden scales, if you haven't seen them....

Tru-Oil is available at the cabelas here, so i'll pick some up tomorrow. Hope to have it finished by Next week.

I wasn't sure about the shape. I like it but dunno if other ppl would

The blade and scales flow really nice together. Good stuff.
