Hey Tikigap - thanks for the invite to criticise (Im assuming you mean constructively :wink:) but nothing but encouragement from me, heehee.
I havent looked for a while & what do you know?; the pigs gone & turned into a slit-drum! Cool idea.

Have you thought about a mount for it? You could make a 'spit' for him to hang on when not in use (or as a base for when in use?) Too late for an apple in his mouth..? Just a thought.

Thanks T! Yeah, only constructive criticism!

About the mount - on a spit would be pretty slick! I haven't given it any thought until now... Thanks again!

I learned another lesson today - don't stop sanding in a particular grit too soon, to jump ahead to some finer grit. I did that with this stone bat and this is what I got. I wasted a few hours last night because of impatience.


He's got a hole drilled thru him, with a toothpick holding the fishing line in there for now. I hung him to adjust his pitch, yaw, and CG. When finished I'll put in a nice wire or string or something else. Any suggestions? It could be a base with a pin mount, too. But he probably should hang most of the time; not be static on a bookshelf somewhere.
