Went thru a spell of not being very well but am feeling better, thanks everyone for keeping me on the page.. Babbs, Hope you are Still Stompin, hollerin and whistling too. Later! THANKS Hewey, You too,, Say Hey to Marcus and Li :P Ben, thanks, you always Did like the tiny pieces! Aloha, Thanks, Yes the Maple IS a Magical wood to carve. It will take very fine detail. It has a tight fine grain and is Super workable with both power and hand tools. This has been much of both but when I get to the facial markings I think it will have to be the burner with a very fine tip. Hopefully it works out. Thanks Seeks, out of the hat OR back in, we'll see! GMANG, Where 'ya been? :D Yea it's for the little peeps! Hodaddy, Thanks for the heads-up, hope you enjoy the stuff and I Promise not to laff especially since you have really put super moves in the skills department. I Love watching your progress. Seeks, You mean my Secret toolz? You'll have to come on down here to see them first hand! :lol: Tyler, Thanks, you can PM me your addy if you want to, but don't wait up for this guy :) Thanksss though. Great idea too, I'll have to see if there is a way to transfer my fingerprints, Hmmmm! Cool Johnny, Thanks, Yeah, I'll have to show you again, You remember my workbench with the "Bench dog" sticking out from the top? its about 3" wide and sticks out about 8" from the top of the bench towards me when I'm sitting there. I have glued a rubber strip to the top to help keep the piece fro sliding around. I hold it in my left hand/fingers. I Also have a small beanbag that helps. Aside from that, I spend a good bit of time chasing it around on the floor as it seems to want to Fly! Its just something you get used to I guess. Thanks Dudley, soon I'll be back on it. BUZZY! Looks like your Brother there, Thanks for the photoz, cool. Yeah, You're OUT There all right, I think you have been around C'Al too much and he's rubbing off on'ya :D :P :lol: Shaman :) Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words too even if they are stretched a bit. Clarita? That you? Soon you will get an update, stay tuned, Thanks. Hey BigT Thanks. With my next update I will also show you the tools I'm using on this guy as well as the other tiny stuff. Check back soon :P DrGoat, Whats up doc? Thanks for the kind words I'm happy it is inspiring, I'll be back at it soon. HAppyhappyHappy. Tomorrow I plan on working more of this guys secrets to find out what he has been hiding from us all. Thanks again to Everyone. ALSO, I got a COOL Package from The Hawaiian Paradise land of the GECKO. The Gecko/Benzart Volcano/Moai Bowl and I will post pic's tomorrow too!
