Thread: JL's Scales

Would a 3-pin setup have stiffened the scales enough to prevent them from cracking?

Pin at the spacer. Make an additional spacer the same thickness as the blade as it would be at the 3rd pin area and leave it there temporarily until you are done working on the scales.

Put in a spacer the same thickness as the blade would be at the pivot and use a small clamp to hold it in place at that pivot pin area. Let the cracking happen. It shouldn' be very wide.

Fill cracks with CA and let it cure. Sand the scales to take off ridges. Polish. Then remove the spacers. Install blade, then install the 3rd pin.

That'll be $50...

Additionally, you'll notice that's why I try to end materials at the 3rd pin area... just in case something like that happens.

Im not pissed....you dont even have the razor they were supposed to go on yet! Besides like I said...you are only allowed to ship me one package for the two razors yo uare working on for me, this way my wife doesnt get too curious...so you have months to work on stuf lol

Bill, you must have been reading my mind. I was thinking, why did I have a join where the 3rd pin would be

Thanks for the tips.

JL, don't worry I have one set of scales finished for the 8/8 roundpoint and I'm working in the biggun.
