Used hammer,f lat head screw driver, and hacksaw to break out basic piece, used big ass file that's round one 1 side/flat on other, and screwdriver, old steak knife etc.. to carve so far. We've all lost our heritage of how to make good tools from nature and I can't afford anything for modern carving tools for right now. I know it's shabby and my technique is ghastly but It's in process. I apologize for my lack of tools and skills. Just having fun. I've been watching and I wanted to get some. Sorry not tiki!! To drown sorrow, where should one jump first and best? "Certainly not water. Water rusts you." -Frank Sinatra [ Edited by: Sneakytiki 2007-04-14 15:16 ]
