   My dad did this when I was a kid to show skill, care, creativity and craft. It also had a chain link at the top of the cage.

   My dad taught me.
   I did this and used the same exact knife. I still have it as well as a replacement. Schrade knives today is not the same as 30 years ago.

   This book was my bible.

   

   Whittling and Woodcarving (Dover Woodworking)

   

   My day knows I inherit the autographed copy. It was a thrill and a let down when Tangerman told me I would have earned 3rd place in a contest if I wasn’t a kid. I was 13 or 14 I think.

   We used to carve chains as well. A challenge is to take a small piece of wood .5x.5x12inches and carve a chain with ball-in-cage every N links.
