Thread: Scale designs & sizes?

If I`m replacing old scales I do as you ,use them as a template.If I`m making custom scales I draw them first cut out the paper to make sure the blade fits and sits well ,then transfer the pattern on to a piece of wood or whatever ,then its just a matter of removing what you don't want. .So that is the way I do it also exactly as you described,there is no mystery,its all in what you leave behind
I would ask Vlad or Bill,for their finishing technique's,as they are both perfectionists where I`m somewhat of a lazy bastard ,I like playing around with metal ,the scales I`m so so with and loose patience rather quickly,I hope I will be able to quire that one day
Kind regards Peter
