Stocks

Hi! So, I just made some Medieval Stocks. Here's a picture:


These stocks are made out of bass wood. To make them, i cut three strips of wood, two poles, and a rectangle base. In two of my strips, I cut a head and two arm holes. I then used sand paper and a craft knife to shape the tops of my side poles into points. I glued my solid strip and one of my holey strips about half way up my two side poles. Lastly, I took two tiny slivers of wood, just large enough to hold my top strip of wood, and glued them onto the stocks. The reason I did this step was because now I can slip the top piece of the stocks on and off, therefore allowing me to trap an unfortunate person in the stocks. I glued my two poles down to my base and stained the whole thing. For the finishing touch, which is optional, but looks really cool, I painted a bucket, filled it with scenic water, and glued a tiny ladle onto it. I glued my finished bucket next to my stocks, and tah dah! I had a finished torture device!
Bye!
