Combining whittling with automata-making
The pieces here are all dry-fitted and still need to be glued, but pretty happy with how I was able to combine my love for whittling with a new set of skills I'm trying to learn!

Glueing the cams
Any suggestions for glueing the cams without getting glue everywhere on the shaft? These are currently all dry-fitted, but they are now ready to be glued. They're a tight friction fit at the moment, so I'm scratching my head about how I'm gonna go about this, haha. Trying to avoid drilling larger holes so they can more easily slide onto the shaft.

Kiwi held by ICE ‘could remain there for the next 18 months’, lawyer says

Fellow Kiwi carvers, just want to let you know that there is finally a NZ-based basswood supplier! I hope it's okay posting this, I just know what a pain it's been to get basswood in NZ at a decent price. Mods, feel free to remove this if not. I have no connection to this business, I just want to help out fellow NZ whittlers.
