Thanks to all for your support & not bitch slapping me for being whiny.
So to close out that ridiculous little chapter - I finally got the neighbor to talk to me.
We came to a nice even ground with agreements on time that work for both of us.
The good part is I have some new toys/tools now & a new respect for a variety of methods.
I think this will make for a marked increase in the quality of my work.

Also been intrigued by all the bone carving going on around here so I picked up a 6" piece from the local pet store that looked nice & solid, fixed the roof on my workshop, dug out my grinder, flexshaft and what burrs and stuff I have. Right on time it started raining. Just roughed out a shape so far.

Maybe I'll catch up with you eventually, Mango. By the way, between my wife being laid off from work & some other factors I will not be attending Hukilau this year. Maybe we can find another opportunity sometime. I would really like to meet some other Florida carvers & see work in person. Maybe that chop can become a reality sometime this summer.

More updates soon.
Tyler
