[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago (1 child) That's really interesting - thank you :) The handmade nature really emphasises your skill and control, especially following all those small curves with some sort of fretsaw/coping saw. Thanks for sharing these :) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Solumbran@lemmy.world [S] 3 points 1 month ago It definitely is easier than it looks, the only hard part is to manage the blade to not break it, and you just learn it over time. A funny thing that I found surprising at the beginning was reading that to know if the blade is having proper tension, you flick it and listen to the noise it makes, a bit like a musical instrument; it sounded absurd at first, but now I'm able to get a sense of how much tension there is by doing it. It's still nothing amazing, it just gets a bit of time to learn it "instinctively", but I find it funny ^^ permalink fedilink source parent
