Very true, however I am using tougher metal (.032 410, 304 stainless) which takes a lot more convincing to make it move, cut and punch holes in. In fact, I am going to see if I can make a stamp for the scales and punch the entire shape of the scale. If this works, I am hoping it would reduce clean up and all I have to do is drill out the holes for the scales and some deburring cleanup. I am hoping I will be able to mass produce these or at least make a considerable amount for people as well as for myself. If I can't make the stamp, I will definitely make the same kind of idea that was done by grinding and drilling a large amount at once. Will be experimenting on both of these concepts. If people are interested I will take some pics and post them.
