Scissor Blade Saga

Since my deadline to have the scissor blade finished and sent to piexv is less than two months away, I figured I ought to get to work on it right away so I have plenty of time to allow for any mishaps.

Drawing the parts to the blade took about two hours total of meticulous line drawing and calculations. The handle is not shown, as the paper I drew it on rolled up a lot and is under weight to flatten more. The blade took an hour, and I included as much as I could from my black and white reference image such as a faint line where the bevel will go and the circular hole near the handle. I cut the other hole out because it’s not able to be drilled as easily as the perfectly circular hole. I just poked a hole in the center so I have a guide when placing the drill bit later on. The spokes in the first picture are a basic guide for how much longer I’ll need to cut those sections so that the handle will be sturdy. I also had a bit of an issue with the diamond bit and how it meets up with the handle (after I cut out the blade and diamond bit, so that’s why the tape is there), so I took the liberty of stretching those to fit better. I doubt anyone will notice on the finished product.
