So today I set about making a ball in a cage as id seen them and thought they were super cool looking! as this was my first attempt at whittling anything (other than a spoon that I made at college with many tools) I am rather proud to say the least . . all created with a Stanley knife in 4 hours.

What a cool idea for a carving project; I like that a lot & may have to give it a go

 

[maddave]

Those are hard to do... well done mate

 

[FerlasDave]

Nice job! You have the same laptop as me

 

[Muddypaws]

Nice work. If you did that all with a Stanley knife then all credit to you for that.

cheers guys for them kind words iv sanded it off now so it looks a load smoother n nice
it really was not as hard as you may think, if you don't believe me I did it with one hand in 4hours +15mins for the sanding part! lol (left hand is a fake, u can see my split thumb in the picture!)
anyone know if their any other 'disabled' people on this site??
I started making a wooden chain because they also look very cool, but i broke it ill add a picture,
cheers guys

Chive flowers in a salad or even in an omelette - they are soooo tasty. Got a good crop of flowers heading your way there by the looks
