Holley Manufacturing - I'm Bringing it Back!
I can't call this a restoration, because I'm not going to restore it. I'm just going to do right by it. It's an ebay find at about $60. At that price, I think it still was a steal.
7/8. Extra Hollow. Square point. Winning, Winning, Winning!!!!

And this brings us to the reason we are here today. Quite possibly the worst mishmash of scales ever...

The Front. I think the wedge is pewter or maybe lead.

The Back. Celluloid... I think.
Ignore the background chaos... that's my computer desk...

My handy dandy desk vise/strop mount. I got the curve by wrapping sand paper around the small tin of Ren wax. I knew I paid extra for that for a reason. I've been reading alot on Les Paul guitars on another Juijitsu forum that I frequent. It influenced the flying axes from the 80s... or maybe too much Galaxy Express 999

Rough sanding with 60 grit and 120 grit. The elmer's rubber cement helped, but didn't last very long. It was better than nothing though.
