Who's coming to Halloween project night?
I plan to be there with my kids working on some costumes. One of them wants to make a viking axe and the other wants to make a crown.
For the axe I have a 1 1/8" dowel for the handle and some plywood that I'd like to cut for the axe head. I'm thinking of cutting a notch in the top of the dowel to slide the axe head into, but not sure what type of saw would be best for that. Table saw (maybe with dado blade) or band saw?
For the crown we'll probably just use cardboard, although some kind of foam might be better. I've also toyed with the idea of using the laser to make the crown, or parts of it, but don't have experience with making flexible things with the laser. I have seen laser-cut items with a "living hinge" (e.g.
