My first attempt at G10 scales. What do you guys think....

[dcopsutton]

Figured I'd post some pictures of my first custom G10 scales. Project took me approximately 6 hours. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Are you kidding...those are awesome! You have skills dcop!

 

[spyderco lover]

Holy cr*p that looks amazing! Good job man I wish I could make scales that awesome!

 

[SaintlyBrees]

Wow! What a nice job! :thumbup:

 

[Bowman1911]

Well executed!!! The force is strong with this one!

 

[dcopsutton]

Thank you. The Pivot screw was unreal!!

 

[Nullity]

Freaking awesome! I didn't see any gaps and every curve seems to match.

Could you show us your process?

 

[BladeChick777]

Great job!! I don't think I've ever seen a first attempt that amazing!

 

[Czechmate]

Uh yeah, those look like they fit better than stock 0350 scales...

Good work dcop!

Thank you. The Pivot screw was unreal!!

How did you do the pivot screw? Those hex holes are a real pain.

 

[Chris Pierce]

That loots great. Aside from the color

With a hex shaped drill bit?...

Looks great!

Good job. Glad you only tapped holes at only one location for the clip and kept
the presentation side holes free.

 

[Rubicon_Joey]

Very nice...(borat voice...no sarcasm though, these really are nice)....

 

[Clem Kadiddlehopper]

I like it - nice work - :thumbup:

 

[FearAgent]

That is really some fantastic work. I've paid $50 and ended up with scales half as nice as yours. Keep up the great work!

Looks awesome. Only advice is make sure you have the right respirator when working with G10 (if you didn't already use one), it's pretty bad for your lungs.

I've actually seen reuleaux objects used to drill holes with tough shapes like that with an offset center. Imagine using a triangle bit to drill a square hole...awesome

Very classy. Looks niiiice this way.
