Great little project, Andy. Thanks for sharing. Hope the rain stops so that Ivy can get out and not get soaked.
Hi Ted...
Thank you...
Haha... Ivy does not like the rain.. which is unfortunate as we get so much of it here in Cornwall...
But besides what my videos may portray about the rain ... we do get the occasional dry day...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Another cute fun project. The your stove makes your shop seem quite warm and inviting.
Hi Mark...
Thank you... I'm glad that you liked it...
Ahhh when it's cold and damp outside there is nothing better than feeling the warmth of the stove...
I wouldn't be without it...
Take care...All the best.....Andy

A nice little project, with very clear instructions on tool use and why. Your voice-over and backing music make it very enjoyable
Hi Jonathan...
Thank you very much...
I'm glad that you liked the project and enjoyed the video...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
The mice are great. A neat idea, and accomplished so well.

Simple and adorable. Thanks for sharing, Andy, from an equally damp and dull Buckinghamshire.

Quick easy mouse. Good beginner project.
Hi Valerie...
That's right... anyone could make one of these little guys...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Thank you for this video. I have watched most of your videos if not all and just picked up my first little lathe today! Consider me inspired.
Hi Mathew...
Thank you so much.. I hope that you have enjoyed my videos...
It makes me feel good to think that I have helped to inspire someone to take up woodturning...
I hope that you enjoy the hobby as much as I do...
Keep it simple at 1st... try a lighthouse and a tree or a mushroom... all good for a beginner...
But most of all.. just have fun.
If you have any questions please ask...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy..
Just started watching your channel, great stuff and the bark adds character
Zero waste with that burner
Very good Andy
Keep up the good work
Enjoyed the video, I have made mices before, one difference is I used paintbrush bristles as whiskers and even decorated a couple with ribbon bows on their heads. They were gift mices for my two nieces. 😁
Hi Trevor...
I'm glad that you enjoyed the video...
The bristles and bows on your mice sounds great...
And just perfect for your little nieces... I bet that they loved them...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Nice one Andy and a great way of using all the little bit of wood you find yourself with
Hi Woody...
Thank you very much...
Yes these are great projects for using scraps and firewood...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Very cute little mouse Andy. Nice work showing how to make one. I should make one for our cats.
Take care,
Gary
Hi Gary...
Thank you...
This was a nice simple project...
I'm sure that your cats would have hours of fun playing with them... Haha..
Take care...All the best.....Andy
From a Cornishman living in Florida, have to say I really enjoy the channel and your videos thanks for sharing them, it’s kind of nice to hear the rain in the background too! although you probably get fed up with it I’m sure.
Seems like it’s always raining in his videos, makes me think the sun never shines in Cornwall
Hi David...
Thank you for your kind words...
I'm glad that the rain brings back fond memories...
I only dislike rain when I'm at work...
When I'm home.. a rainy day is a workshop day... Haha 😊..
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi Mr Taco 250...
Haha.. it does seem that way...
Today is sunny and hot .. in fact we are having a bit of a drought...
But of course I'm not filming today...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Looks lovely Andy ,and the workshop fire looked well cosy .
Hi Indiana...
Thank you...
I do love my woodburner... gets rid of all the offcuts and shavings... and as you say .. cosy warm..
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Reminds me of the Clangers. 👍 🐀
Hi Ged...
Haha... they do look a bit like them...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
You are going to need a Zoo Keepers License, Andy! LOL! This mouse is cute as can be. Love the ears and tail! 😊
Phil
Hi Phil...
Haha... you are not wrong there...
I'm glad that you liked this little guy...
I was short on time so I didn't have time to make the eyes out of Ebony ... pity...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Time to build a coral for all these creatures 👍
Well enjoyed video
Rain rain go away 🎶🎵
Hi Luie...

I have enjoyed your animal projects keep up the great work. They have inspired me to make an armadillo, that I would like to show you but cannot figure out how to insert it in the comments.
Hi Brian...
I'm glad that you have enjoyed my animal projects...
It really pleases me that you have been inspired and made your own Armadillo...
I would love to see it...
I will put up my email address for a couple of days or until you reply...

I could do this right up to the point where the CA glue comes out. I tend to glue things to my fingers and have been known to glue my fingers together.
Not quite 1st. BOOM LOL.
Hi Andy they are so cute and look amazing.
Another fun little project which I must have a go at.
Take care my friend.

Hi Huw...

Hi Andy
Thanks for this one I’m off to make one for the grandson,he is impressed with the animals “Andy” makes,
We now have the chicken and the pig and when he gets back from fishing I’ll have a mouse for him.
Stay dry,we could do with some of your rain here
Regards
The chickens are great, I have several different shaped ones and they all make me giggle every time I look at them 😆😆😆
Hi Mal...
Thank you for your kind words and I love the fact that your grandson loves the animals too...
Chicken.. pig.. and mouse... Haha...good choices...
Sunny and hot here today...you can have our rain... Haha

I see you're adding to your zoo. At some point you will need to share a picture of the menagerie. Thanks for sharing the video. This one is a favorite. Very cute! Happy new year... Praying you have a successful 2022.
Hi James...
They are building up a bit... but I still have lots of ideas for more...
I will take a picture of them all soon ... or stop motion perhaps...
I'm glad that you liked this one...
Thank you so much...
I pray that you and yours have a happy new year...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Nice and neat Andy. Nice to watch videos at normal speed. all the best from central Lancashire 🙂
Hi Stephen...
Thank you very much...
I wish that I could produce more videos at normal speed but they would be too long...
Great to hear from Lancashire... it's a real shame that you are so close to living in Gods own county which is of course Yorkshire...... Haha..
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Thank you for telling us the tools
Hi Jenny...
My pleasure...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
That’s unbelievably cute! Love it! The eyes and ears are perfect and having it sit up is a nice touch. 😊💖
Hi Kitterz...
Thank you for your kind words...
They are cute little guys... Haha....
Take care...All the best.....Andy
5:20 "When you've gone over it with the spindle gouge, you do tend to leave little ridges and troughs..." WHAT??? I've never heard of such a thing! Nice video! I think I'll give a few of them a whirl maybe for a Holiday Season craft show or two.
Hi Michael...
Haha... yes.. ridges and troughs a plenty...
Thank you..
These would be great impulse buys at fairs...
I hope that you will enjoy making yours...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Here's a giggle for you Andy. I have made quite a few of these little fellows since watching this video the first time. This past May, my wife and I were visiting Cornwall and I brought one with me for a very specific reason. One of the places we were visiting was Mousehole so I couldn't resist giving one to the folks that run the gift shop called "The Mousehole". A little mouse, made in Canada but inspired by Andy Paramore of Andy's Cornish Creations. The ladies in the shop were quite chuffed. Cheers mate!
Bi Dave...
I'm glad that you too have made a few of these little fellows...they are great fun to make...
I hope that your wife and yourself had a lovely time over here in Cornwall... Mousehole is a very charming little fishing village...and the coastline around Cornwall is spectacular...
It was a great idea to leave them with a little Canadian mouse...we don't get down there too often but the next time that we visit Mousehole I will have a look in the shop and see if they have it anywhere...I'm not surprised that the ladies were pleased... that was a lovely thing to do...
We live up on the north coast in Camelford.. near to Tintagel and Boscastle.
How much travelling did you do while you were over here... I know that distances here in the UK are nothing to you guys in Canada... which I only recently discovered was the second largest country in the world...
I hope that it didn't rain too much while you were here... Haha...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
It's really cool Andy well done
Hi Amanda...
Thank you very much...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Nice one Andy! At least with YOUR menagerie, you dont have to feed em, and their "waste" can go in the stove! I saw Martin Clarkeson make some of these not long ago on Worldwide Woodturners.
Well done, and thanks for sharing!
Hi Dave...
Thank you very much...
Haha... that's true... zero waste...
I checked out Martin's video and it was very similar to mine...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Very nice
Hi Norman...
Thank you very much...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Like those Andy, I will have a go 👍👍 thanks for sharing
Hi Brian...
Thank you...
I hope that you enjoy making these little guys as much as I have...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations made a couple Yesterday enjoyed the process. Going to Do a CZcams live today doing them I will give you and your channel a shout-out as my inspiration 👍👍
Cheers Brian...
I'll look forward to seeing your video
Andy, let me tell you what you need to turn next: A big fat hungry cat 🐈 that‘s what you need now… You‘ve got TWO mice running loose in your workshop, and with Ivy more interested in treats than in wildlife on her plate, you‘ll soon have an underground tube system in your beautiful garden otherwise 😂 Having said that, I think they look super cute, Mr. & Mrs. Daisy and Maxie Mouse 🐭 🐭 I think they might even be my favourite little creatures so far… but still we should try to keep the population down, you know… 😉 As you say, I fully agree, less is more, and the patches of bark look great, needless to say the shape is just 👌🏻 as always, well done, Andy, you‘ve created the cutest little characters, really lovely 👍🏻😊 You know what always amazes me? That with the weather you have got in North Cornwall, you actually manage to get these logs halfway dry 😂 Bravo Andy 👏🏻 Great video, thank you for sharing 🙏🏻 Take care, stay warm and dry 😉 Byeeeee 👋🏻😉👋🏻 Jude
Hi Jude...
Ahh .. that's a great idea... I have a design for a cat so it may be coming soon...
You know Ivy only too well... she is only interested in the treets when she comes to my workshop...
I'm glad that you liked them and I will have to write down all these names and pop them onto the bases of all the little animals...
Thank you again for all your kind words...
Have you got a favourite animal... most people have...
although I don't think that I have one myself... apart from Ivy of course...
I'm not sure that anything truly dries out down here...
When I lived in Yorkshire it was colder but much drier...
Thank you again Jude
Take care...All the best.....Andy 👋😉👋☔🐭🐁
@@AndysCornishCreations Oh great, a cat 🐈 can‘t wait to see what it will look like 👍🏻 mmmmh… I cannot say that I have a favourite animal per se… Having grown up on a farm, we had all sorts of animals, even peacocks 🦚 but my special pet was my cat 🐈 who was really my doll… I used to dress him up and all sorts of nonsense, poor little chap… Our dogs were not so much the cuddly type, more the cattle type, if you know what I mean… And the rabbits ended up in the casserole… So the vote would go to my cat for sure 👍🏻 Looking forward to seeing your cat 😊🐱 Take care, Andy, so long 👋🏻😉👋🏻 Bye, Jude
Ah, such cute little creatures! I always enjoy seeing an animal take form. Thank you for this nice mouse presentation on my birthday! 🎉

That's what I was thinking... craft show impulse buy...
I have a few more ideas for more of these little guys...

Very cute! I'll probably try that myself! I haven't started turning yet, but I'm saving up for a lathe and all the tools. This looks like fun! Thank you!

A really cute little guy Andy. Plastic eyes, from China? I don't think you buy them as 'Eyes'.
It would interest me to know what you use for them. Thnx for sharing! 😎
Hi, they are on ebay as craft eyes in several sizes, hope this helps. I got the idea from Andy as well.👍👍
Hi Leo...
Thank you.. I'm glad that you liked it...
As Gary said... they are 6mm craft safety eyes... Ebay.. Amazon... or China...
I bought them specifically for these projects...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Love it! Where would you get the eyes? What would be a sales price? Do you make any other easy animals? I don't know how to look them up. This is so precious and you are a good teacher!
Hi Ila...
Thank you very much...
The eyes are 6mm black plastic craft eyes ... you can get them on Ebay or Amazon or craft shops..
They would probably sell for £5 or £6 ..
I have a few videos with easy animals to make...
Subscribe.. click on the notification bell to let you know when I make a new video...
And you can check out my old videos which have some easy projects...
I hope that this helps...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
That was very enjoyable Andy! You have definitely become the Master of making little animals. I love them all. I’ve just started on penguins (haven’t perfected that yet) but now I need to add mice to my list 😁 So cute. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Jeanie...
Thank you... I'm glad that you like them....
I like the Penguins... do you use 2 different woods glued together ?
I hope that you enjoy making these little guys...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations Yes, I’m gluing up walnut and maple. Just haven’t figured out the right proportions yet.
Plastic eyes no no no. Ears yes yes yes tail yes yes yes. Proper Job
Hi David...
I know!!! .. now I feel really bad... but I have a bag full of them... arg...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Great video Andy, I just have to make some, may I ask what you used for the tail and where did you get the eyes from. Thank you 👍
Hi Mike...
Thank you very much...
The tail is.. ' round leather cord ' Amazon..
The eyes are ' 6mm plastic safety eyes ' Amazon..
Although if you are only making one or two then you can turn them yourself and colour them with a permanent marker...
Hope this helps... have fun...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
What kind of wood did you use? Also, what was the beginning dimensions of the blank you started with? Thanks, Stuart
Hi Stuart...
This was a branch of Hawthorn...
It was about 5 inches long and about 3 inches in diameter...
The finished mouse is just over 3 inches long and 1 and 3/4 inches in diameter......
But the beauty of these little guys is that you can make them what ever size you want...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Really nice Andy!! Hmmm,,,,where can I get a branch??
Hi Buttermilk...
Thank you very much...
This one was a branch from a Hawthorn tree...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Get inside and warm up
Hi Norman ...
Haha... it's not cold... just miserable weather...
Cheers...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
What size eyes and black studs and where do you get them from please, Happy New and thanks for your video’s.
Hi Ronald...
They are 6mm black safety craft eyes... from Ebay or Amazon...
I drill a 4mm hole to fit them...
I hope that you enjoyed my videos...
I wish you and yours a happy new year...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
These are great little projects Andy, I am always picking up bits of tree branches when I walk my dog, maybe I can make a dog out of one 😂 , thanks again and all the best to you.
Regards Jim
Hi Jim...
Thank you very much... I'm glad that you liked it...
Free wood is always a bonus...
I have a design for a dog that I will be doing in the future...
Enjoy making yours if you beat me to it...

Great job Andy, do you want to swap your mice for some pesky real ones we have in our workshop? 😂
Hi Jon...
Thank you very much...
It's ok... you can keep your mice as I have my own that run around on the rafters in my workshop... Haha..
Take care...All the best.....Andy
