making my first set of scales for my spyderco tenacious...
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!!!!
supplies used:
1x set of scale blanks
torx bit precision screwdrivers,
12 pc needle file set
dremel tool with sanding bit
clamps to secure my work
i used two pieces of layered blue g10 and carbon fiber i got from usknifemaker.com sized: 1/8" x 1.5" x 5"
i glued the original scales to the pieces of g10 and drilled the holes.
once that was done i ataced the liners to the new material and used a dremel with a sanding bit to sand it to a rough outline.
then used some needle files to file them flush with the liners..
heres a picture of before and after hand filing.... rough outline on the left and hand filed one on the right
heres one all filed up.
then i used the dremel to start shaping the handles.
one is done... still needs to be fine sanded and polished with micro mesh that i ordered.
im planing on finishing the other handle on friday.
let me know what you think!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT; second scale done!! Just need to Polish and finish sanding them!!
Here's the most recent pics.
The one on the bottom hasn't been sanded as much as the one on top in this picture.
