This week I made on a pair of knife scales and remade a vintage boy scout hatchet handle. The axe was made by Bridgeport in the late 40's, and I found it on eBay for $40. The scales are made from "Dragon-scale" Patterned Plywood with brass rivets. This video was inspired by view comments, so if you have projects you'd like to see me make next leave a comment below!

Table Saw Blades I use (affiliate links)
Note because I have a 3 hp saw I use “ industrial” 1/8” kerf blades. If you have a lower power saw you'll want to use "Thin Kerf" Blades.
