Benderific Progress

Spent a couple of minutes today cutting out his mouth. I abandoned the jigsaw I used for cutting the main holes in the cans for a small knife. It's way more precise and makes a much nicer cut. There was some concern that I might cut some number of my finger off, but I avoided that handily. I've also sealed the top of the head can with some caulking, it seems to be holding nicely.

Initially, I wasn't certain I'd cut the head short enough. However, after cutting the mouth and consulting a bunch of pictures I think it's just the right size. I'm going to have to kick it into high gear to get this thing done and still squeeze in that 'course work' that my professors keep mentioning.

Next step...arm holes!
