Thanks, no just the one buckle.Congrats, Stan! Did Alice get a bickle too?
Really? I must be checking out the wrong ones, because this is not uncommon. Sorry to hear of your frustration.. . . every other forum does . . .
Bummer! What did you use to set the angle? Did you cut/grind them together?
I first cut the 45 angle with a miter saw and template. I even taped them togther with double sided tape when cutting them. I then just smoothed then off on my 1x30. It looked fine when I drilled the holes with the knife as a template, but when I took down the material, that's what I ended up with. It's my first time trying this ever, and I'm sure I was a bit off with my cuts. Live and learn. I need to get a miter gauge assembly for my bandsaw. That'll probably make the cut much more accurate.
What you need is a disc grinder with a mitre gauge. Make the cut free hand or not on the band saw then clean up on disc.
Align the scales spine and belly. Fix with a few drops CA glue. Finish front radius of scales.
Align blade. Attach with few drops CA.
Drill holes.
