I used to do my Gonks like The Tiny Turner but I found it is easier to turn the body and the hat all in one piece of timber.
Great video. That a pretty neat little man
Brilliant video Colwin lots of information
Hi Jonathan, thank you for your comments. We are glad you found this video useful.
thanks both another great film, see you at Harrogate
I enjoyed the video, Thank You for sharing.
Thank you David, glad you enjoyed it.
Had to come back for the end. Well worth it. Crammed in all the techniques in the book nearly, I especialliy liked the beading/captive ring trick at the end. Now my guys won't have wonky horns. Great stream guys, just sorry i couldn't stick around.
Nice to see you managed to rejoin us! Thanks for your comments.
Fantastic video... I've ordered some 'beards' from the Tiny Turner and looking forward to using some of the smaller blocks of wood that I wasn't sure of a use for!
Hi Paul, Glad you found a use for your offcuts!
Brilliant
J'adore votre vidéo malheureusement je ne maîtrise pas du tout l'anglais. Je me sers du traducteur de youtube pour le français, mais celui-ci est pourri. Tout ce que je peux faire malheureusement est de regarder la vidéo. Mais difficile de connaître les choses importantes que vous mentionnez dans votre vidéo.
Nice one. Did you apply glue to the nose. If so how did you keep the glue off the fabric? The nose is liable to be pulled by a child, could choke them and that's why I glue the nose first and fit the beard round it.
Hi Crackerjack, Colwin says: "When glueing on the fur make sure you add glue to the nose hole at this point, however, I would not treat these as a toy as the fur can be pulled off and eaten and finishes will also need to be toy safe." Hope this helps :)
