Thread: Addendum to one piece scales

As posted in the wiki - Making One Piece Scales - Straight Razor Place Wiki

I had a few comments on the jig used for the slot cut and agree that it has the potential to be dangerous if rushed. There for I would like to add a few pictures of an alternate method I have been using as well.

I basically will glue the scale piece to a scrap piece of wood and make the slot cut with the piece laying flat. Not shown in these pictures, I used a scrap piece of the same thickness as the scale piece so that i could flip the piece 180 degrees and cut again making the clearing out of the slot less work.

I tried several jig for cutting in a horizontal fashion, but simplicity won with this gluing method working out the best.

Thanks,
