Ball in a Cube
2013-09-19 10.38.01.jpg
Our club competition this month was 'something made from a 3 inch cube'
This ball in a cube was my entry, got first place, well chuffed.
Made from Sycamore, finished with wax.

Wow, that is nice and your win well deserved.

I agree with Rowdy about a tutorial if possible :claps:

Did you need any special tooling - I feel the need to buy more tools :whistling:

No special tools bought, a few jigs and bits to make though. I took a few photos so will sort them out and try to post them. John
