Default 5 minute wizards
Well, I tried the 5 minute wizard, but he looked more like a 30 minute LIZARD after I accidentally cut his nose off.

I better stick to spoons...at least I have learned not to cut through the bowl!

I don't have a knife with a sharp point and I think that little project would have been a lot easier with a small, thin, fine blade. I don't think I would have cut his nose off.

Dianna...

Looks like you need to take a look at Mac's detail knives on your next trip to SMWC too! Flexcut has a mini-detail knife that's pretty good. It's only 3/4" long and 1/4" wide at it's widest point. Just what you need for those 5-minute Lizards....I mean Wizards!

Mac got a new knife in last week. One of his staff members, Hezzie showed it to me. He cut his hand twice while demonstrating it. It was a nice detail knife, perfect for eyes and the like.

The Flexcut or another one? Sounds as if Mac needs to start offering First Aid kits too! Ha! Ha! Don't believe I've met Hezzie...
