It looks like there is a fire somewhere tonight...

Smells like smoke. Dirty sunset.

Benella: In America, they say you have a good chance of getting away with robbing a bank if you only do it one time. I'm thinking about giving it a shot. I want to get a power carving setup soon. And if I could afford them, I would have more chisels from a company in Austria called Stubai. I have only three, my most expensive one ran me about $47 US. The Flexcuts are real nice, but the way the stubai moves through the wood is just fantastic. They are a little heavier, but balanced perfectly. The flexcuts are more affordable here and come in these cool sets with a good random assortment of tools to start with. I usually buy the base sets, and then add tools as they are needed. The Flexcut set on the top picture lists for $180US, with people like cybercarving.com discounting them 15%. They do not ship internationally, but I'm sure you could locate a "middleman" to send one to you. The palm set lists for $130US, but sells for around $115US. You should check on the price of the Austrian tools over there or see how much shipping would be to you. I know Zaya sends stuff to her friend in Ireland for about $20US. You would probably make it up on the exchange rate. Exchange rates are pretty much the same as hold ups, but they are legal.

Buzzy Out!
