Today's sunset:

It was a lovely day today and I took advantage of every second of it. Started another :roll: Maoi to replace the one I just got rid of. Here it is as the sun goes away:

Seems I'm lonely without a Moai around

Luckily, I had most of this one done by sundown, so no more lonely nights!

I tried using my new draw knife to defrond some logs today. Usually I would use a razor knife for the first step, and then follow it with the planer. The draw knife did the razor's job and half of the planer's job way quicker. To do it, I teeter the log on some railroad ties and just keep rolling and pulling. I did the first two logs in record time, so I timed myself on my third and final log.
Start:

seven minutes later:

After a total of 14 minutes, including a two minute break to rest my lats, deltoids, and triceps, a five foot log was done:

I'm so ripped right now, and no, I am not on steroids.

I finally hauled off and got rid of all the crap logs in my front yard today! Now only five more in the back...

I do have fond memories of the worst logs EVER!

Tiki Carving: Not all it's cracked up to be!

Babalu: Bring on the BLING!

I should make a draw knife workout program and put those stupid Russsian kettleball guys out of business.
Buzzy Out!
