    Much respect for the artistic vision to “see” where to cut and how much. I missed that train for sure.

    I totally understand these fellas thoughts, I struggled with the Elmers paste, safety scissors & cut along the dotted lines construction paper projects as a kid & with my own kids.

    It does have me thinking a bit. After neck surgery screwed me up I can no longer do any leather carving but maybe some day I should get a real small saw and try my hand at it. Here are a couple old projects and some practice pieces I've done in the past.

    That Elmers school paste was non-toxic and food safe. You didn't digest it though, it passed right on thru, kinda like some parts of corn kernels. As long as you didn't eat so much of it you gummed up the works.
