Replacing scales & where to buy the replacement scales

I'd like replace the scales on a Straight razor of mine. I know Classicshaving sells scales, but is there any other places that people recommend to buy the scales?

How do you get the rivet out to remove the old scale?

In general, what will I need to do the job?
 
In general its not that big a deal. I use a dremmel with a cutoff disc to remove the old pin. I have hardware from microfasteners and use that instead of having to repin the blade. The scales from classic usually have the hole predrilled so all you need do is attach the blade. If you want to make your own scales, well that's another story. If you want to pin all you need is a flat hard surface and a small jewelers hammer though some use the end of a spoon to do it but it takes practice to do it right. New pins come with the scales from classic.
