Niece's Magic Fish Hook
Built Maui's Magic Fish Hook (from Disney's Moana) for my niece Sophia for Christmas.
Started with a Stud!
Not this Stud...got to be safe though
Pencil in of the final shape and marking spots for dowel joints
Quickly threw together this doweling jig...worked like a charm
Lots of pressure
Time to bust out the jigsaw, it'd be nice to have that band saw right about now...the wife doesn't get Christmas hints.
Rough
Shaping, shaping, shaping...thank god I have nice neighbors for all the noise.
Shop Dog tax...and a messy garage.
Very messy
Sketching patterns
Burning it in takes a long time.
A VERY LONG TIME...but side 1 is done.
And magically finished...this fish hook is Magic
Did a different pattern on the opposite side
Close up
Even wrapping took long...
Had to have her name in there
