Thanks guys!

Laojia: Ill try not to leave it so long between posts (I have 3 new pieces tucked away for next time :wink: You have nailed it with your observation; working to/with the stones inherant flaws and attributes plays a major part in carving. You simply cant force a stone to accept a design that it won't handle, and so it makes sense to 'design to the stone' (a popular catch-phrase amongst local carvers). Thanks for watching L!

MarcusK: cheers!

Aloha: Aloha! Glad you like it, but sadly the bike tyre is the one component that is only temporary, although knowing me it will wear this forever more, haha!

Mieko: "and Wow, what a big rock you have!!!" - *it used to be even bigger.. :o :wink:

and BenZ: How are you my friend? I should have known you'd like the drop-saw, being the toolman you are. I hope you do flip up some new work soon, although you know what a slacker I am at keeping up with other peoples work. Im amazed anyone keeps up with mine nowdays. Will email you soon

Tama
