Aloha,

Babalu: Thanks my friend. Indeed, I'm particularly happy with my new chisels and obsessed with tikis and wood since i got my new toolz.

TraderBob: Thanks for the kind words.
I've been moving too in March 2007 and hadn't internet but by luck, one of my neighbors didn't lock his internet wi-fi connection :) .
It is quite strange because I too thought that I left a post on your thread but just cannot find it, sorry. Your work shows very nice tikis, are you working on something new ?
I loved beginning with small pieces because it gaves me the way to come to bigger tikis even if I still got tons and tons of things to learn from all the carver here on TC. I just use the grinder one time to remove a n ugly coat of varnish I put on the last marq and find it very coool too. I tried to use a vacuum on it but the diameter of my vacuum and the diameter of the grinder is exactly the same :( so i'll have to buy a smaller tube to fit it all together.
I've got a tiki stool to make for home with a wide log my wife found and I think i'll do a totem or 2 big hawaiian tikis with the 2 logs showed 2 pages earlier.

Mahalo,

Benjamin.
