Description: A combination tool with a knife extended lengthwise and a fork and spoon perpendicular to that, carved out of scrap wood.
Apologies that the image is rotated sideways, Lemmy seems to randomly do that for some of the images I upload.
I don’t hate it.
Thank you kindly for that!
Kinda wish I could have done more with the handle, but I needed to thin it out for the press-fit into the spoon/fork cross section.
Yes I’m not exactly the most skilled wood worker out there, but I enjoyed making it and have it hung up over the kitchen sink.
The wooden blade came out sharp enough to use as a letter opener 👍
hell of a nice shank there. multipurpose.

Brutal!
Indeed, the two parts are not glued together, only press fit. Fairly tight, but easy enough to separate so no blood gets on the fork and spoon 👍
If you spin the knife lengthwise, you can spoon and fork in rotation. Might be handy for soups with solid pieces in it.
Doubles as a cross and a stake for vampires! I’m not sure what the spork is supposed to help with in this situation. Dig up garlic?
Lemmy seems to randomly do that for some of the images I upload
Apparently it’s because when you saved your image, your photo editor set its orientation as exif data. Lemmy doesn’t know how to respect that, so it shows in the original orientation. Maybe try rotating to a different orientation and back in your image editor and then uploading? If that doesn’t work, you could also try uploading to imgur and linking from there or something.
Also, that didn’t come from any photo editor, that’s straight from the camera app. T-Mobile Revvlry Plus.
Might be the camera app that’s saving the exif data, possibly. The PNG trick might work, or maybe using an app that actually rotates without using exif data.
Just might be. I’m familiar with EXIF tags, but it’s like there isn’t a solid standard on how different libraries and services process it.
I dunno yet. 🤷♂️
Yeah, and I’m sure lemmy will start processing images properly soon enough anyways.
This is the second time Lemmy threw me a 90⁰ rotated image, when my OG image shows upright on my phone.
I may have to see about converting to PNG before uploading to try to circumvent this issue in the future, at least for the time being.
The power of Christopsomo compels you
I’m not exactly sure what that’s even supposed to mean, but take my upvote anyways.
I grew up watching Roy Underhill’s The Woodwright Shop. Every now and then I try challenging myself, and I enjoyed making this kitchen decoration.
It’s a reference to exorcist where the priest, holding a crucifix, says “the power of Christ compelled you”
Ah, gotcha. 👍
This was a random inspiration that came from a request to draw an avatar for Reddit user SporkBattleAxe.
Love you Lemmings too, didn’t realize you folks only carve boxes around here. Critics…
This must be how swords and in turn wars were invented 🙈
Cool wooden dagger.
