Robbie is what Nicola called him. But his name is actually Zibbi, no idea why. Been tossing this idea around in my head since making the Celtic Cross. Today, after helping a mate move some gym equipment (two trips) I came home, and got going with it as Nicola was out shopping. First up, I drew up a rough robot to get placement and size on the block. Started by cutting away the excess. Hand held blade works a treat to get into tight spots. Arms made thinner. About four hours later my wife thinks I am a hero. And in my opinion ...... enough of a reason to spend more than 4 hours in the garage sucking dust. Ohhhh, and she still does not have the Celtic Cross.

not being funny mate but you should sell these little guys on ebay or on here, i reckon they would make an awesome addition to the garden, man cave, garage, hell maybe even the bedroom, it looks cool! great work.

Down in the Decadent London way - punt it for 500 quid and get some footballers wife knock you down to 450 Certainly just for a try, throw a pic on Evil bay with a ticket of £400 'hand carved, Brad Pitt has two of them'

They're great but if you put a realistic value on your time I imagine you'll struggle to sell many. Unless you want to work for £5 an hour?
Keep it as a fun thing to do or for gifts etc... I reckon.
