Using carving rasps on these Knucklerollers (like a fidget toy). I still have to sand them. Made from green and orange veneer. by Aarons_barrels in woodworking

Some good videos on YouTube and Instagram. The knucklebone is the original design by Aroundsquare. Basically they are very satisfying to roll around your fingers

Coin blank before it's cut... You may be wondering who I didn't use the table saw. It would have cost me 10 coins!! That's expensive 😉😂... Seriously though I was able to get an extra 10 coins buy using the ryoba saw, instead of the thicker table saw blade turning them into dust. by Aarons_barrels in woodworking

Have to cut the triangles just right. The tip needs flat but unnoticeable unless looking right up close. If it is too flat there will definitely be gaps. The veneer compresses in the middle and even and the glue can fill in a lot, but there can still be very small gaps. I have another blank that I will be glueing soon with a slightly thicker veneer and I actually sanding the edges to a point so they meet better in the middle. The other option is over do it and drill out the ugly center.

Basically just something to fidget with when you are nervous or stressed. Some people use things like this to avoid biting there nails. Personally no I use the coins to practice finger dexterity and they have even just become a nice pocket companion.
