I've finally done it. This is my first full restoration (scales included) so it's not perfect (the scales/wedge are a bit too long, there was some pitting I could not get rid of, the gap is too wide and I'm not too happy about the liners), but I've learned a few things:
1) A heat gun will really speed up the CA process but...
2) It will give off noxious fumes (that's why I treated the wedge with Truoil)
3) Be extra careful with the measurements
It's still a decent looker and will become a great shaver once I grind down the bevel by about 1/32 on the 1000. In addition to that it's great practice for the TEW that's on its way.
