Messenger and the bro...

I've been hounding my bro for some korero and tips around whakairo and thankful that I have him to ask.  He, my sis Donz and their tamariki/mokopuna are currently living just out of Brisbane and we keep in touch digitally.  I wish he was home because I know I'd learn so much more from him.  I'd probably be a hoha lol.  Anyway, I've been talking to him via messenger and asked him yesterday if he could create some video tutorials for me.

Unaunahi & Pungawerewere

 


He made his first video tutorial yesterday with help from my niece and has created a folder in his google drive so I can upload them to my drive.  A valuable taonga as it's the next best thing to having him here in my garage to show me.  Helpful because I can pause, rewind and watch it as many times as I need or want.  We also had a korero around some of the tools to use and we tried to solve the problem I've been having with my cheap rotary tool.  One of the first things I will do post lockdown is go and buy me a decent rotary tool.  I'm hoping to use it to create my taonga pūoro - Hue Puruhau.  I have a couple of practise pieces to try and we talked through the 'best' dremel bits to use for the carving/etching.

I feel blessed to have him to ask and after a couple of korero online I had more knowledge to 'noho puku' (sit and let it all digest).  Ngā mihi aroha ki k koe e tāku autāne Johnny xx
