The workspace is modest but boasts an almost complete woodshop. Chopsaw, tablesaw, router table, drill press, bandsaw and yes, the lathe. The lathe really got me started into wood carving, but it hasn't seen much use lately. I have been having problems with some new tools and exchanged them this week - so more stuff will be coming soon. My wife caught me in the back yard yesterday after the day at the beach. All I was doing was enjoying the afternoon with a cool drink - she got mad??


Bablu's mug from the recent swap. I think there's a whole in it, because my drinks seem to disappear!!

I have not had a whole lot of time to carve because I am heavily involved with another hobby. Mountain biking - yes - in an area that has no HILLS (much less mountains). After hurricane Wilma the local MTB trail was destroyed and it has been almost 3 years since the trail has been open. The past year a small group of us have been fighting to reopen the trails and just 2 weeks ago it happened!! 2 miles are open and we have another 6 to go. Wplugger and I are trying to work out a deal with the park to obtain trees in exchange we will be allowed to put the tikis in the park. I'm not sure we will ever see pictures here because Will doesn't post images of his stuff (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) more on that coming.

I have been carving on the Trio, heres the update requested. i'll be working on them later when the temperature drops a little (too cold - too hot, garages are fickle). Enjoy
