Popular Post FlyinFish Posted January 27 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 27 Inspired by Mark's video on this from several years ago now, made this Maui hook for my 5 yo. I scaled it down a bit and used strips of leftover 1x fir that I had. As you'd expect, I sheared off the glue joints in a couple spots more than once during the initial cutting, so I drove dowels through in a few areas to strengthen. Not at all the best or cleanest way to approach this, but I wanted to use up the scraps and don't mind the patched up look. Seems to be holding up for now. I did all the shaping with a benchtop belt sander, a ROS with 60 grit, and some rasps. It took a bit of effort but was not at all that bad to do without a grinder/carving disk. This was a lot of fun to make and I'm trying to think of other similar things I can make for my boys. Any ideas? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh every single day, haha! And a spear, and a bow and arrow, and a shield. I'm hoping to think of something with more shaping and less things for them to smash things with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 I don't know what that thing is, but it looks very nicely done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hook shaped magical club thing that a character, Maui, has in the cartoon movie Moana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
