It has been my experience that I am always true from my point of view, and am often wrong from the point of view of my honest critics. I know that we are both right from our respective points of view. - Gandhi (Having a bob each way.)

Here you are boys. Don't say I don't spoil you.
This drawing is full size. Should only take a few hours to make the head.
A nice bit of folk art for the discerning puppetmaker.

Yes, and one of the 'secrets' of producing figures is to actually finish them, I'm OK at starting them, but...
Just received some pieces of lime for a long-term project of carving a 'full set'. I was inspired to get carving again by watching a young lady woodcarver at an August BH event, she had a nice 'toy', a Proxxon mini-grinder with an Arbortech cutting wheel, and I fancied it could be useful, so I gave myself an end-of-season treat, and also ordered a set of Flexcut carving knives that she had, nice chunky handles.
The mini-grinder is useful, but the knives are especially nice to use, very controllable and extremely sharp.
Whilst waiting for the lime I had a bash with the Proxxon at a piece of 2"x2" general timber I had lying around and then used the knives to carve a half-sized, Punch head. I can recommend the knives.

As if I haven't got enough to do today, with all I've got to do today.
