Hi,We had some great entries to our last, 'Northern Isles' challenge. Thanks to all who took part. This week we start with a simple object - a circular saw blade. What can you make with it? The “rules”: Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry. Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc. Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”. There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go! The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only. To download the starter image, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser). It is a png so is already cut out from the background for you - an easy start to 2025. 🙂 When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post. Have fun! Dave

I certainly do, Dean; now its tyres must have the most extraordinary grip ever..

For some, or no, reason I have always seen SFTW54 as a Kiwi setting.

You'll cut through the undergowth without any problem on those wheels, Chris. It's little details like rotating the arrows that make a difference, good job!
