That is some nice work! I also like your workmate, it looks like it was made in polynesia (instead of china). I have a few questions I hope you don't mind answering. Do you use a router to rough out any of your flat pieces or do you hand carve all of that? I don't know if I am crossing a line by asking so please don't answer if I am. Also you mentioned that you are squirreled away working more in the winter than in the summer. I would imagine that you are working in a garage or a shop off the house. It gets cold in PA too. We have snow on the ground since Christmas and it gets barely above 30. I work in the garage but it often gets too damn cold. My question is what do use for heating? I get worried that all of the dust could cause a problem with a heater or worse a fire. Things slow down with activites around my house so I have more time to work out in the garage but I hate the cold. Any suggestions?

Thanks
