"I think the awesome meter just broke."

You really made me smile. :) Thanks

Tonight I worked on fitting some small slices of wood into some small gaps on the underside of his thighs/torso joint. Nobody would have seen them, but I knew they were there. Not anymore though. I hope the seams look nice when I knock the area down with the chizzles.

The next step is to make and attach the second chunk of his neck. After that, I am going to mount a bench vise that rotates up on a riser in the middle of one of my carving tables. The vise will hold him the "mount" that protrudes down below his arse. This way I can keep him in the sitting postition and spin him around to work on him. Hopefully it works well and keeps him protected.

Thanks for the replies above, I will respond to each of you when I post my next set of progress pics. Thanks for the encouragement and the nice words.
