Aluminum scales, Chapter 1.

[ironsidegnr]

So I decided to attempt to create some aluminum scales for a razor that I'm trying to make into a rough travel razor.

It turns out that I'm not very good at metalwork at all. I only have a scroll saw and flat file right now, so these aren't going to be pretty. I'm hoping for functional though.

Here are a pics of the blanks that I've created so far.

Tonight, I'm making a flat spacer because I cant figure out how to file a wedge that has flat sides to fit flush between the scales.
Once that's built and true, I'm epoxying everything together and double pinning the spacer in the scales.

Hopefully tomorrow is polishing and installing the blade.
