Thread: New scales help!

Fishing weights & hobby shops sell lead tape 1/8 X 3/4 X 6 inch for sail & motorized planes.

You could also try asking around to see if anyone who works on stained glass in your area has scraps. SWMBO's aunt builds stained glass windows for a living (usually commercial projects) and has TONS of it sitting around. I mean, 5 gallon buckets everywhere filled with cut off pieces 1"-3" in length. You could make lots of spacers from that, and since it's such a pliable metal, could be shaped rather easy.

If the blade is actually touching the wedge, you can file a bit off the back of the wedge if you have a flat file small enough to fit between the scales. Be careful of the lead dust when filing.

I tried to file it with a flat file but since there is not enough space between the scales its very hard not touching the scales...somehow its not that bad and although it really close to the edge its still not touching it.
The other problem is that today I checked the scales again and I found out that the blade is off center again! same problem, it goes too much to the right and is lightly touching the sides of the inner scales when closing
