Thread: First restore in progress--Dubl Duck Perlduck

Yay, updates!!!

1. Fitting the wedge. Glad I lost the first one I made. I got to looking at some of the old pictures and I noticed it wasn't very tapered, really more of a spacer than a wedge. So, it all worked out.

2. Showing the gap between the wedge and the tip of the blade. I'm mad at myself for this. When I made the wedge, I had it perfectly positioned about 1/16" or so away from the blade and it looked perfect. Somehow it slipped forward sometime between setting it a drilling it. Now it's at 1/8". Oh well I guess. I'm not messing with making another one. Live and learn.

3. Proving once again why I work with hand tools only. I got in a hurry and strapped a dremel sanding drum in my drill press and starting rough shaping the wedge outline. I got greedy and lost focus for jus a second and, BAM, big chunk missing from the wedge. I'm leaving it to remind myself what can hammen when people don't pay attention.

4. Scales laid out for sealing the inside surface. Once this is done, I'll sand it smooth and start pinning!!

Stay tuned!
