Got my phone to the store for repair and got a slowass s5 borrowed meanwhile.  Will try to take some pics with it!

Some more pictures if the penguin.  I made it out of two pieces of spare wood, by making a hole through one of them where the other would fit.  Took really little time when comparing how long some other projects took.

Took a branch,  cleaved in two then made a two part face of  ' The Joker ' with the outside parts. What made me do it was watching some sidetrack stories about how the Joker skinned his own face and some other acts of insanity.

Went about the same way as the previous post with the crazy clown.  First the background. A stormy sea with Japanese art inspired clouds. There is also a sail on the left side belonging to the viking explorer ship in picture nr 2.

Picture nr 3 is the mid part . It's meant to be a compass with a silk band in the background ( which disappeared in the noice).

Picture nr 4 is the right part of the foreground. In a "here be dragons " spirit, a giant turtle about to fall on the ship.

Pic 5. Full picture.

I need to modify my Recruit and get started on some carving

I re-profiled the small blade using the Surge file. Straight line from the heel part of the blade to the tip

Knife needs to be sharper, tail very hard to do. As a first try it looks a bit like a rooster. Was just going by memory from the little book of whittling.

I spent a bit more time on the blade, got it nice and sharp. I have also put a chisel edge on the cap lifter. The can opener lost its tooth (as long as you don't take too much off it still situation the right height) and screwdriver tip, and got a convex grind, still needs some touch up. I've been working on another rooster, bit bigger, and different wood

WOW, TazzieRob! I kind of gave up on posting here as it felt like too few added content to warrant a thread of its own and here you choice and hit it out of the park!

I prefer that shape you got in the blade but I noticed on "proper" carving knives the tilt of the blade is "inwards"and not "outwards" (like yours and mine I made).

Adding a new reply as my first post disappeared due to app crashing :(

Anyways.. My reply came out a bit too aucthorian and teaching, which I didn't mean to.

I pondered the blade tilt reasoning and I guess it is that a inward tilt gives me control and strength earlier and I don't risk to slip and cut myself due to early slip. Added picture with lines and such

Thanks Stoneshank! It's something I've been meaning to get into for a while, just needed to pull my finger out and have a go. Please keep sharing your carving  :salute:

I get what you mean, though small carving knives like the Mora 120 and 106 have a belly and a sweep "outward" to the tip, as you put it. I think this aids in slicing cuts, but for finer detail that's when a straight blade is better, and a thinner blade too. For me, I could have modified the pen blade straight across, but this would have taken more time to file/grind more than double what I took off, and put a decent edge back on. I may do this in the future, but happy to just go with what I have for the moment. Now that I've done it I'm pleased with the result, just had a bit of hesitation at first about taking the plunge. Even if I'd smurfed it up I'm sure I could have still turned it into a useful too.

Sketch of what I'm talking about



Another benefit of a small straight edge it it is easier to sharpen, no need to tilt the blade to get the tip.

The can opener mod I figured if I didn't like it I could grind off the shark fin and just make a smaller chisel. It is definitely harder to sharpen due to the geometry than the flat screwdriver chisel which is wickedly sharp. I haven't tested it out yet for spoon bowl gouging.

I have another recruit, I could either modify or combine with this one, though I'm interested in trying a Hiker so the saw is incorporated for harvesting material.

Thanks for rotating that one  :cheers: I'm liking how this one is turning out even though the wood is not that great. It is Photinia Robusta and gives quite irregular growth shape. I've taken more out of one side to get it to line up with the tail more, though that probably wasn't necessary. Life isn't perfectly symmetrical, I should try and work with the piece I have more than to try and make it do what I want or think I want

I've been watching some carving videos, Doug Outside has quite a few good ones

Thanks! And Pfrsantos, join in!

Will try to post some pictures but currently trying to make a keychain to my brothers son, and a wall thingie where he can hang his keys. He's .. uhm.. four for years old I think. He's into something called "Paw Patrol" so in trying to, after googling this unlikely band of dog heroes, make something with that. The wall mount is "done"in the rough way and just needs hours spent while the actual keychain failed yesterday, the rough version looked more like a rabbit that a dog

The tail is currently my nemesis. The "fan" just isn't working for me. Not sure if I meed to let it dry out first, try more of a feather stick with smaller curls, thin down the stick first or if the wood is just not good for it.
