Thread: Scale Building Tip - Centering the razor

Oh boy

I guess this might get complicated now

I was showing this exact thing at the Yakima meet up and trust me I can show ya in 10 seconds and it is going to take a ton of typing and still it will be confusing


Ok so things we have to accept as givens

1.) The Brass and NiAg rod that we use are a 1/16+ size, and they vary no less, so the hole you drill to use them, is 5/64, which leaves a bit of slop to use
2.) If you glue the wedge you eliminate some ability to move the razor
3.) You have to understand the pins are peened in a tightening mushroom, not squished straight down
4.) Once you understand #3 you will realize that the scales can be "Moved" by using directional peening which in turn moves the razor
5.) You should actually never be peening the pins straight down anyway, and the more you practice the circular peening the better you get at achieving what you want

What I just so badly explained would take no time at all to show basically by directing the hammer when peening you can move the scales which moves the razor if you follow the "given" conditions that I mentioned above...
