Thank y’all, I have fun doing it. It’s nice to have something to occupy my evening while watching tv. I will try to get a video of the project I finished last month and a pic of last weeks project to post.

Just some whittling. Stick flowers. Might add a little food coloring to dress them up a little.

This is the second mule I have done, pull the string and the head comes up and feet kick. I counter sunk 3 rare earth magnets in the base so it stays put in the metal counter it will be on. Both ears pivot also.
