rough hands

nearly there!

been sanding like a madman the last couple weeks (no it doesnt take this long but i only work on this for maybe 4 hours max a week currently) and have nearly finished making them smooth. which is bloody good because i am now rather bored of sanding, plus all the roughness from the wood has transferred itself to my palms and fingers.

problem is now, i cant draw anything which i like, and want for the legs. i guess im having trouble trying to figure out all the proportions free hand, i should probably do a scaled drawing and that would help quite a bit. also i am a tad worried about having thin skimpy legs which may break, or making ones that are too big and will make it look oafish. plus my cutting skills aren't much to shout about, so i really don't want to mess it up! but that's the fun of it. i get the same amount of satisfaction cutting a sweet join as i do skating a massive ramp, so may as well just go for it and see...... measure twice, start cutting, measure again, start cutting again, chisel off the gammy bits. thats how it usually works. began part of a collaborative project with nathan from No Guts No Glory, not giving away anything right now but some awesome DIY furniture is spamming its way to you soon.

in other news, it was a lovely day the other day so i took this

somewhere in devon, answers on a postcard please.
