Decided to play with my 560s

[ShepardCC]

Well last night I made some scales for my 560 & 561 for the first time!
Here is the work. I think the green will be the fallout version

All done by hand.

Awesome job. Really digging the green one.

 

[tecstar1]

I too think you did a terrific job, Love the green

 

[ShepardCC]

Thank you! I like the green one the best too. I may make a different another one. I wish they had more of a rustic looking g10. Like a bronze and black color.
I think ill anodize the titanium an aged bronze.

Looking and trying some titanium standoffs to bronze too

I'm with Arourasphere
really digging the look of these and looks like a great side hobby.

It's a lot of work. I do it by hand. I even drill the holes with a drill. Not a drill press. No Cnc machine. If you work with it you have to wear eye protection, wear a respirator, and gloves. G10 is basically fiberglass. It has a bad smell. It's horrible if you inhale it. Feels likes millions of tiny needles if you get it on/in your skin.

Just be smart and safe.

I'm still trying to find places with more options of g10. I would love to find some purple and black and purple and green scales

USA knife maker is a good place.

I have a couple of pieces of G10 and I recently bought a Vandalay milling table for a Dremel tool, but have no idea how to do that 3D textured effect that you get. Do you use a routing table?

Beautiful work!

That vandalay milling table is so freaking cool.

Try alpha knife supply. They have a great selection of G10 in varying colors. Also, visitor message in bound.

 

[bertosknives]

those look great nice job.

 

[tbow]

When you say by hand do you mean you use files or a dremel/type tool for the pattern?

 

[ShepardCC]

Dremel and a dewalt impact drill/driver
