I'm addicted to the stuff now! Must be the smell... :lol: Here's the latest, finished this one off this morning (and look, raining again). I wanted to make something that fell in between the two others I made. This one is 3" x 1.38" and though it may be hard to tell in the photos, the hook sort of overlaps the body a la Paipo's Goddess of Death and Night (thanks for the inspiration Paipo!). The hook overlaps, honest. I'm having a hard time getting inside the nooks and crannies with rolled-up sandpaper. I guess I need to put some jeweler's files on the list of Things That Cost Money. As for the buffing, Laojia, I've got my tool on a speed controler and it's going as slow as it can without stalling.
