Hi everybody,
i did my first slipjoint with stag scales and i have been lucky to have still 10 fingers on my hands.
I will definitely build some jig for the bandsaw for the next one, and i would ask if someone has got some pointer for the jig construction....i need to make scales from roll and i don't need to reinvent any wheel.
I have seen the best is to create 3 scales from one roll, but that add complexity to the cuts since my bandsaw don't have the tilting table.
Any idea?
thank you

You could hot glue the roll to a flat/square piece of wood.
Then position the saw fence to cut the scales at the thickness you want.
 
Leave it to Mark to have such a simple, but elegant solution. I'll try to remember that.

Thank you Mark,
I never used the hot glue, is it difficult to remove from the stag after the cuts?
