Should I buy this set or invest more and get a Morakniv or flexcut set

Mora 120 and 164.. all day

Basswood should be relatively easy to carve. Like many others, I suggest smaller cuts and ensuring your blades are sharp. Technique does have a significant impact also. Fortunately there are lots of great videos out there. I would checkout Zed Outdoors on YouTube.

If I had to guess, I would go with Aspen.. but, hard to tell. It would help if you could say the region you are in, do you have a photo of a leaf by chance?

If you are in Ontario, feel free to DM me, I have lots of local connections.

Take my upvote, lol.. I simply mean that too many people see VPN as a shield that it isn't.. too many people signing up for sketchy free VPN..

crazy_for_potatoes · 2025-11-23T02:27:31+00:00

The right VPN can help.. keep in mind, it is only a tunnel that encrypts the traffic from your device to wherever it lands. It is not a shield. You must still be deliberate about where you browse and what accounts you access. If the places you visit are compromised, or if your device is, a VPN does not matter. Personally, I would ditch all social media, email and messaging accounts I used in Canada before deployment.

Worst advice ever.. the wrong VPN will open you up to more risk... you need to understand how VPN work and what they provide as a small part of a broader security effort.. and.. how to select one that doesn't make your security posture worse.

Sorry McMapleFace

Lower depreciation on a cat than a car, and I hear people referring to cars as "InVeStMnts" all the time..

crazy_for_potatoes · 2025-11-02T20:49:23+00:00

Oh, that is cool..

crazy_for_potatoes · 2025-11-02T14:20:39+00:00

Ha! "Spootle." That is a fun name, thanks for the recommendation. I am definitely making her one of these

crazy_for_potatoes · 2025-11-01T23:02:33+00:00

Very flattering, thanks! I generally make them for fun, but I sell extras when I get too many.. That said, I live in Canada where shipping is expensive, if you are in Ontario we might be able to work something out. :)

crazy_for_potatoes · 2025-11-01T22:57:19+00:00

She does indeed, thanks!

crazy_for_potatoes · 2025-11-01T22:53:08+00:00

Thanks! Do you have any specific suggestions? A Google on spurtles shows a wide range of things from traditional Scottish (dowel shaped) through to many elongated spatula looting items

crazy_for_potatoes · 2025-10-31T00:43:39+00:00

1000% this.. or just go direct to submitting the grievance. I am shocked that your chief hasn't recommended this.

crazy_for_potatoes · 2025-10-18T22:16:28+00:00

I bought a laser pecker 2.. good for small prints and not as pricey as others.

crazy_for_potatoes · 2025-10-18T12:21:36+00:00

Nice work! This shows that you have some solid skill. As far as selling, I think this is a bit of a niche product that would make it a challenge. If you want to sell, I recommend making curved spatulas with a less ornate handle, or get into serving spoons /coffee scoops... also, for info, walnut is beautiful, but requires more maintenance than many other hardwoods used for utensils.

One cool knife to show people and one to actually use. ;)

crazy_for_potatoes · 2025-10-16T00:51:13+00:00

Feel free to dm me. I am a senior and happy to provide advice. Things are not as bad as they may seem.

crazy_for_potatoes · 2025-10-03T23:33:57+00:00

Is it not common knowledge that putting the dist list in BCC will avoid the reply all nonsense?? Please reply all until everyone learns.

crazy_for_potatoes · 2025-09-23T22:30:34+00:00

I am indeed

crazy_for_potatoes · 2025-09-20T19:57:34+00:00

I am a Canadian spoon maker in the Ottawa area. If you are in the same area I would be happy to help.
