I made it ! i just used two layers of pine wood i carved a notch in one of the layers, then glued the "sandwich" with two components epoxy glue. it's not as good looking as yours but at least it's usable again. i got another pair of scissors to repair, and now i got the skill to do it! \o/
NO!!! I love these scissors and will fix them. They were given to me in a funny kind of way so I just put them at the back of the draw when they broke. Now since I love wood work I can fix them. They will be reused and passed down to my kids. My leather scissors are the best I own and the broke ones are the 2nd to best. Can't part from something so good. A new pair of scissors would not be as good or loved as much as these.
Say YES to taking responsibility for our goods and repairing them rather than tossing them away. I appreciate this. It's not only preventing needless waste, but also giving you a new relationship with those scissors (almost heirloom qualified now) and honing your skills at the same time.
Great work - I'm tucking this one away for a later date!
Had to laugh at your HEIRLOOM qualified. My children and grandchildren laugh at a lot of my heirloom qualified items but guess what, some day these items will be passed down to them. And a lot of them have came from my parents and my grandparents. If it is good keep it going.

They look good.
when you fix something, the first goal is to make it work again; and the second goal is the good looking ;)
