Found this video showing construction of a simple magnet jig for cutting thin slices from a slab of wood with a japanese pull saw. Simple and cheap. It looks like it would work great for cutting scale material.

I found another comment elsewhere that suggests gluing thin stock to a thicker piece to make cutting the thinner piece easier and safer. I think using double sided tape might also work. Originally Posted by DZEC

It didn't take long to shine this one up a bit. Now I just need to fix the drilling mistakes on the scales from yesterday, do some sanding,, dye them and repin it.

In the video he inserts a round magnet into the hole. The magnet holds the pull saw blade firmly against the jig and keeps the blade from wandering while cutting. I saw another jig that used two magnets for cutting longer material. Originally Posted by MikeT
