So I have been having this idea that I thought it would be fun to try to design my own cutlery, because I have some standard Ikea stuff and because I thought it would be cool to do it as well.
I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing and have just watched a 15-minute YT video so obviously, feel like an expert now
But in all honesty, I think if I keep it simple I might be able to do it.
So I made some quick sketches in 3d of some designs, that I think would be cool and that I think is simple enough for me to do. The first image is the most basic design.
The second design is where I go crazy!!![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So the plan is to use some dark wood and if I go crazy mix it with some white wood. I intended to buy the blades from Ikea and then grind down the handle so I can fit my own one's on them as those you can buy from the knife shops are very limited and don't really like the look and you can get some from Ikea really cheap, so if things against all expectations should go wrong I haven't spend a lot on it![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Have anyone here tried making stuff like this before and can tell me if it's a bad idea or have some tips and tricks?
