Thread: My first attempt at making scales

well i recieved a scales kit from vlad and have been terrified to do anything with them. However during a visit to my mothers in which i spoke with her neighbour, he seemed quite interested and i showed him a razor that i recently recieved from joe ( my blade with Joe scales) and explained my interest in making new scales for another blade.

Cut a long story short, he took me to his workshop in his garage and he had everything I needed to make a cracking job a bandsaw, fret saw, vertical drill and an awesome bench sander...i was tickled pink....

I went back there a few hours later and cut my first set so I have enclosed a picture of the first stage...i apologise for the poor quality picture as It was taken on my mobile phone so bear with me, next stage is to drill the holes and shape them...i cant wait but it did take me a few hours but i hope it wont take so long to do the next set....

regards,simon

ps..these are the tools I was lucky enough to be able to use so I think i was quite fortunate..wouldnt you say...
