Genius Hour 2.3

Hello bloggers. Week 3 of nunchucks has had its ups and downs. Im beginning to become more fluid with my motions and have picked up speed with each move. Im happy with the progression and even have started to do more advanced skills. But, with the new skills, I have also encountered some obstacles. You need a large open space to practice certain nunchuck skills, and that can be difficult sometimes. Ideally, I would go outside in order to avoid breaking my tv or hitting my dogs on accident, but because it is so cold, its not exactly doable. So, Ive been practicing in my bedroom. I have smacked my ceiling fan, dresser, and almost killed my cat in cold blood swinging the nunchucks around. These are issues indeed, but the grind never stops so Im still going. I hope by next week I can  start using youtube videos to learn combo moves and impressive skills.

    This seems like it is both a fun and difficult project. Do you have any plans for the future use of this skill, or will it be more of a party trick?

    Sounds like you're having fun. You should post a video of you breaking stuff, that'd be pretty cool. What do your parents think of you learning nunchucks? I'm sure they love it! Good luck!

Week 2 of whittling has proved to be quite challenging. As I finished up on the details of my gnome, I made the decision to sidetrack for a bit and start a new project. I chose a small baseball bat as my next whittling creation. As simple as the design may be, I knew I would face difficulty with having correct proportions, smooth texture, and even knife strokes on such a small and delicate piece of wood. Beginning the bat was simple enough. I could take large pieces off with the knife and within no time at all, the basic bat shape was starting to form. However, I was soon to run into some issues. As the bat got smaller, I had to be more precise with my cuts in order to not take too much off, which was a worry of mine. Things were going smoothly, but then I ran into a couple of spots on the wood where the wood grain was uneven, rough, and almost impossible to cut through without damaging the bat's surface. I tried to be gentle with my approach to cutting and smoothing it, but none...

This week for whittling I have continued on with my little wooden cat. Its proving to be quite difficult, because of its size and angles, but I'm excited to see the outcome. I still haven't figured out my wood block dilemma, but I'm hoping Mr. Kelly can help me out with cutting some of the blocks down to the correct sizes. I have issues asking for help, but in order to keep progressing with my whittling at the pace I want to, I'll need to suck up my pride and utilize other people.
