Chicks with Tools

Chicks With Tools

Since starting to make wooden frames I have added an orbital sander, a metric saw, a jiggsaw and a drill to my collection of toys. They all live happily together in Big Jim, "The toolbox" along with screws, nails, glues, hammers, bits of wire, clamps, pencils, measuring tape and other things that I don't quite know what they are yet. I restore old wood with chunky knots and strips of bark on them and turn them into earthy, natural looking and large wooden frames. My dad said I should try a bit of art-o-pyromania: burning into pinewood with a blowtorch! What! Not sure this is wise but I will definitaly give it a go.
