@Deanswoodworking I have been “studying” quite a few gonk videos over the past few weeks and built a private library for my own reference (I have significant short term memory issues and rely on my KZread library for reference). THIS video is going to the very top of the playlist. I love this approach more than any of the others and I know I’ve watched at least 25 so far. Thanks for such a cool way to go about it.

I have made a bunch of free standing gnomes, never thought of doing them as hanging ones so thanks for the idea. In stead of cutting down the beard to go around the beard I use a leather punch from the back to make the hole for the nose, I found that helps me hold while all the glue cools etc

They Vary no two are the same.

Lots of questions about the "fake fur". Amazon, JoAnn, Michaels and Hobby Lobby are your best bet for locating the fur if in the USA. Amazon has a good selection of the darker colors. When using hot glue and you want to get rid of those annoying glue strings you can hit them with a quick blast of hot air from a blow dryer. The gnomes are adorable. Gnomes are very big these days in the crafting world. I'm a paper crafter and have made many note cards with gnomes.

If you don't mind small suggestions, drill the hole while it's on the lathe with more wood. Then turn the wood down to the size you want. This takes care of tear-out.
