Hi All, I was asked to rescale a DD with lacewood. A point and possible cause of DD's tendencies to have warped scales came to mind. Most razors do not have identically tapered tangs. Just check a few of yours and you will note that quite often one side ramains straight and in-line with the spine, the other side angles in slightly. (look from the top..doh !) This particular Duck had this and although the blade was reasonably centred this would certainly put pressure on one side and over time the celluloid will warp. When I pinned and tested, the blade was off centre so the thinnest of washers on the same side that the blade leans (inside at the pivot) to is required to bring back to centre. Voila ! Anyway here are the pics. Lacewood, green perspex wedge, brass spacer at the 3rd pin and bullseye washers. Gary
Dang, Gary... You are really getting good at this stuff. I like this one a lot. How 'bout a pic of the washer adjustment you made?????
OK Bill, I know you know but for those that are still trying to fathom it out. Pics are below. Any more questions please ask. Cheers Gary
Gary... And when you get real good at it, you will be able to bend them back into shape like me... For those of you who think the blade is not in one piece... it's an eliptical conclusion. :signs081
exellent You may have been away for a while ,but you certainly haven`t lost your touch :rofl :rofl Kind regards Peter
Bill I`m sorry but I had to say it ,if you keep showing off ,you are going to come to grief sooner of latter Kind regards Peter PS don`t yot have a mig or better still a tig welder
Thanks All..I've been busier than a one legged man in an arse kicking contest or as the Aussies would say "flat out like a lizzard drinking ". Gary
