Whiskey Barrel Scales made on chop Saw.

[Mark Barone]

First time making scales. I don't have a table saw. After squaring off ends of a stave I double sticker taped it to a 2x4. This gave me a little distance from the blade. I have some flat sanding to do , but overall happy I still have all my digits. And man do they smell good.

Push sticks are wonderful things also. Nice looking oak and I bet it does smell good!

Pretty cheap to pick one up on eBay.

Yes, when I was a butcher the scariest thing to cut were frozen pigs feet. No push sticks or guards. Just a band saw and a prayer.

Great job on those. Yes, they smell heavenly when you’re working them.

My apology Retroguy, I missed that you had no tablesaw. Kudos on getting it done safely!

Thanks I am making a couple of skinners. Although my wife is against hunting so I call them camping knifes at home. .
Hopefully if I don't screw them up, I will post pictures in a couple of days.
