Haven't posted for awhile, but have done a few things while at work,

this is a 4x4 we used to chock the Starwaggons on the show, inspired by Bill (4wdtiki) and his recent stuff.

One of the grips on the show saw me carving and brought me a piece of Magnolia that he cut down in his yard and I gave this one to my boss. The grip that gave me the wood is nicknamed "Bone-head" and has dug up some tools he had at home, and is now considered my "Protoge" because he sits and carves on set also,

Another lil' guy I was playing with isn't finished yet, we've had power outages here alot lately, last one lasted 42 hours! But I'll finish him.

He will have the bandana & Pony tail, maybe my signature LOL!
And last is the mask I started at Oasis, just haven't had a chance to work on him since then (the lil'ones are easy to do on set during filming!).

One of the really funny factoids about the carving for me, I was on stage working the "Picture car" for the show while they were shooting "Green screen" scenes, and the car needed very little attention one day and I was carving the lil bandana'd dude to keep busy. After a few hours had gone by, I put him and my tools in my bag, and the next thing I knew, I was getting slapped in the foot to wake me up as I was snoring during a take! Several of the crew were laughing and gave me the "Thumbs-up" and the director, a very cool dude, approached me later and suggested I carve as long as I need to to stay awake! I snore loudly. Gotta get more small pieces when on stage for sure!

See you SD folks at the chop on saturday (if my power dosen't go out again!)
