I think this will take me up to parts of video 9-10

I rounded the base for looks and so it will not chip, just like the video said. Also, I rounded the tops on the bottom row of arches:

now rounding off the tops of the arches on the top row:

The top row done the same way:

now the bottoms are rounded out on both rows:

the one in the video has two chambers. Mine will be hollowed out all the way. that part sucks to do. I think I need a turning tool gouge like i the video. Might save a few slams to the hand. In a few minutes, I'll get to hollowing it. My goal is to have that done by sunset.

I need to work fast, and I've been working real fast for a real long time.
Buzzy Out!
