Brings smaller pieces up to your level. You still end up bending over a little, but not quite as much. For heavier pieces, either leave them on the ground or use aarons, bens or 8ft method. I use saw horses that you can purchase at HOme DEPOT for like $13 each: they bring the tiki up alittle, but I still end up bending over or just sitting on the wood and going at it.(insert joke HERE). For turning the carving over, I always put it on a towel and that seems to save the datail and not add any dents or dings. hope this helped, feel free to ask more ???? if you have any. There are no dumb questions.
