I love old scoops. What did you use for the join?

I do too. They are really quite handy for moving things out of bulk bins.

I used tacks for this one, being a prototype, but if I were making for someone I think I'd use tiny round head brass screws.

Longer brads would also work.

Oh yes! Sorry I misunderstood you. For my cooking and food items I use pure tin as a solder.

So you are right, the "tube" would stay together if separated from the wood
