"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Husain Abdul Alim. I am here to tell you about carving figurines. So we got a piece here lined out. But it does need holes in the eyes and the mouth. I am going to go up underneath here, the eye, that will have a large eyelid and the eyes will be down here somewhere. So...(drilling holes) Of course they all need cleaning up at this point. All my lines, all I do is get it open and I am going to go back over and make it look like a real mouth. All I got is an opening here. This is Maple, this is a nice white Maple and with this eye I am going to give it a little line underneath, really make it pop out. It is a little tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky, it comes with experience. I get my eyelid right underneath and add an eyelid on top. You would of thought they were eyes, but they weren't, they were fake."
