Filing, part deux...
Just finished filing down the first of three replacement wards. Much happier with the results. The ward is much more square and I did a much better job with the filing. I worked in a much more systematic way this time which helped with the final results. Also, the shaft this time is rectagular rather than square which will give me a more secure fit when I attach it to the plate.
The pic below shows the ward. It also shows a partial gate hinge and pair of scissors that I played with making last weekend. Neither the hinge or scissors are actually finished. Just did those for the fun of it.
These next there pics show the ward from a few different angles. Note that the shaft is an extension of part of the cross. This allowed me to more easily file the ward to be a nice true cross shape.
