I have set space, so i need a project thats no bigger than a standard footlocker , but also uses small tools w/o chief electric tools.
I was lately in a shop-related chance that has rendered my vanished hand temp. useless (I'm R dom.) and so one hand tools because i would like to acquire a amount of skill as to avoid looking like an idiot when i attain there.
i'm looking for free-thinking suggestions.

Try carving. For the most part its one hand and when you use two hands one of the holds a small mallet/ A nouns carving is a good article to start on start with a simple drawing and verbs it to the wood. After marking the plan onto the wood integer out what should be tallest and what should be lowest and sort of mark it out and later start carving. If you go on vein you will find a million small plans for a relief carving. You one and only need roughly 6 chisels and you can buy them fairly cheaply. I'm not sure where on earth you live, but if you can find butternut wood, or mahogany there some of the easiest to form. Don't get discouraged a short time ago realize your learning a foreign skill and passing time at alike time.
Good Luck
