I'm thinking of using that piece of brass as a guard. It's a cheap and thin casting, but it has a large, flat back. The slot I think I can do pretty easily by drilling and careful filing. The problem will be to make a flat on the uneven front where it meets the back of the blade. If I had a 1/4" belt sander, I could knock it right out. Then we'll find out if I can solder it on there without making a mess of it.
