thead took a fun twist..

Anyway.. my apologies for taking so long to respond .. re: making scales...but I've been attempting to retrieve my scale making punches.. loaned out... argh.

You know me.. avoid machinery whenever possible...

This is an example of the tool I used to make the ends of the scales...

strap end punch...

Since the brass is so thin a modified bricklayers chisel shaped to an edge or a mortising chisel can be used to cut strips.. or tinsnips.. or bev shear...

The strap end punch.... It's VERY fast! Each scale is not perfect... each being appropriately varied.. subtley varied...

Lacing hole layout... a block of wood with predrilled holes in the desired pattern. Nails through the holes.. then cap the block with a sheet of steel and use a hammer to strike the top of the nail block thus setting the hole pattern ....use a drift punch to make the holes.
