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!! Oh, so THAT'S how you used the hammer! I was a little perplexed when you mentioned the hammer on my thread. I was imagining you delicately chipping away with a screwdriver and 50lb sledge! :lol:
