Thread: Scale Making without major tools

I used precut 1/8" thick wood for all the parts. if that is too thick for the wedge you can sand it down.

Okay. I plan on using the same size wood and thought that sanding it was the correct option.

I also just tried my 1/16'' bit in my dremel and it was too small. I'll have to check out the drill bits they sell intended for the dremels I guess.

you can get a chuck for the dremel so you can hold smaller drill bits. If you dull your bit then you can just buy a regular bit rather than spending on the pricey dremel bit set...

I like using the egg-beater! With coping saw, and half-round file- Those are major tools

I guess you could cut the wedge with coping saw, but I use a small rip saw before dragging the small tapered piece over a file to true it up.
