Sounds like you have a Green Lizard, One of my personal favorite shavers... There is a reconstituted stone product that is out there, I probably could make scales out if it... Drop me a PM or visit my Website and we can talk about it there... TY
I know this is a very old thread, but does the post with the finished razor still exist? I got an error when I tried to go to it.
You'll have to ask Glen. not sure what happened to the images or the razor. Of course this was about six years ago….
I do not know either... It was given away during a Christmas PIF which is what that last link went to... I might have the old Originals but that was 2 computers ago
Oh well, I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Based on the other razors you have posted, I can just assume it looked awesome.
I'm gonna start taking my halberd apart soon and making scales. Maybe natural bone so I can dye them same color as brush I'm making
To remove most pins I use a highly polished set of Flush cutters I buy at Harbor Freight.. BUT I have had a ton of practice doing them that way, somehow many people manage to mess that up and crack their scales Safest way and what I use on delicate scales is to file the tops and use a Pin Vise (Finger Drill) to start a hole in the Pin/Washer then after I have it WELL established I take it over to the Drill press and very carefully drill enough to pop the washer or collapse the pin.. Then I very very carefully tap the pins out using a 1/16" punch... And sometimes the scales crack anyway... Re-pinning
Unless you are doing a lot of them just use Wet r Dry sandpaper After using dry or water, try it with WD-40 as you finish at each grit level, that will introduce slurry and add a glow to the polish
all right, how come it doesn't let you upload a file everywhere on here it wouldn't let me on the other place I was talking to you so I put it on here but this is the one I did after watching that video I try to Jewelers all first and that was a total not happening with my MS getting those blades in there impossible for me but I did have one of our rage do it and using the saw was not hard the coping saw as long as you use fine blades it's not so bad I just stay far off my line and do a lot of sanding. I haven't drilled any holes in anything good yet I don't want to run the scales I'm not completely done with them, or happy with them they're plenty smooth and beveled and ready but some of them I have squared in some of them sharper some of them I did something different on all of them just experimenting but I left enough wood that I can go back and put the traditional design in it and sand away anything I don't like
