    There are so many ways to get things done, but you really can make scales quickly with no power tools. Definitely post some pics when you get them finished.
    Of Course! I have always been a do it yourself guy when it comes to these type of things. Ill try my best!!!

    Sorry, Parker, it's just that no one expects a teenager to have any "wood" working skills. Sorry to be so blunt. If I were to hazard a guess, I suspect that your father and/or uncle(s) helped you make those items. But then again, when you've built your own summer cottage, then we might have some comparison -- something for you to shoot for!
    No offence intended, buddy!

    Parker, I have no doubt that you could learn to make your own scales -- after all, only one month ago you didn't know anything bout cutthroat shaving, and here you are a respected Senior Member of SRP!

    Thank you maple! When you put it like that, you make me seem like legendary of something

    I may get bored tomorrow and cut out a basic shape... if I can unpin my razor!
