I injured one of my hands really badly a wee while ago and was unable to use it at all, so I am rather proud that I managed to make this spoon one handed.
What you think? Should I be?

That's probably better than I could do with both hands! Well done Did you clamp the wood in place and carve with your usable hand?
Not quite, I was originally up the woods and had no clamps. It involved a rather interesting combination of stones and fancy footwork
That's probably better than I could do with both hands!
I meant to ask how you did it... genius. You should do some process pics next time.
yeh, like he has a spare hand to use the camera
Hahahahaha - that made oi larrf.
Stand up, sit down, an arm, a leg, a nod of the head - it's eeeeeasy!!
20 years ago I moved house and my new elderly next door neighbour (God rest his soul) invited us through to welcome us in.
He'd got Polio as a kid and you wouldn't know it as he made furniture that you wouldn't beleive.
Only his teeth, left hand and foot did as they were told and he could use tools with a dexterity and finesse that would put most of us to shame.
He had a great sense of humour, and would nail you with a comment that was as funny as it was wise. When I met him he was retired, having lived and worked, married and brought up a large family.
Oh how he laughed when I hirpled about after breaking my collar bone.
Anyway, I digress as usual - JonathonD calls it a hijack.

Whit on earth did you do to your hand?
Btw,can I ask if you worked at WWT Caerlaverock?
Tom.
Women using tools?
Women using tools to make useful things such as spoons instead of knitting and weaving?
Women doing it one-handed!
Blasphemy!
Anyone else here feeling intimidated?
Night Pheonix. Hope the hand heals up soon. If you do that with one hand us blokes are up against some serious competition from the opposing team.
If you see a torch bearing mob of men armed with farming tools heading your way, run!
Seriously though, most impressive job, well done!
I'd offer to shake your hand but I'm afraid something might fall off.
