Very, very nice. How do you remove the firescale? Was the hinge attached for heat treating?

Very nice. Did you raise the knuckle plate or weld it?
I agree that the hinge is sweet.

Well, I made it to the Art Institute. Sorry I couldn't meet any of you there. We were pressed for time and I wasn't able to spend as much time as I wanted to there. I will definitely be back to take more pics! Here are the pics I did get. I will need to buy more memory cards for my camera next time....

Like everyone said, bolt cutters. I got one of those cheap ones from Harbor Freight and used to clamp it in a vise. Then I just welded the lower handle to a chunk of scrap and bolted it to the corner of my bench. Here is a pic from when I used to clamped it in a vise. http://www.oaksarmoury.com/neww...

Looks like a good start. You may want to add some extra leather or tabs along the sides of the scales for sewing to the gloves. Hard to get in between the scales once everything is together.

Get a new set of blades and use spacers/shims to keep the blade at the correct depth. The HF shear really does a pretty decent job if it is tweeked right. Nothing like a beverly though.

How well do the pewter buckles sold on several of those sites hold up? I always think of pewter as being sort of a soft metal. Wouldn't they get distorted or stretched over time?
