S surfintiki Member S. Chatham, MA Joined: Sep 30, 2004 Posts: 1576	S surfintiki Posted posted on Wed, Jun 3, 2009 5:39 PM Thanks Grapa- Not alive yet, but soon! Ben- Thanks, I hope to enhance the arms MUCH more. The other Ben- Is someone telling him "get a life" !! Clarita-Ha Ha he's a pole dancer!! Stay tuned, you'll see! AS- Got a ways to go my man, juuuuust enough room I think. Problem is, I keep drawing different mouths, can't decide on a look. Yours was so classic! It really had the "right" expression. But I wanna do something different, maybe the gagging, Bart Simpson tongue, or something!

G GMAN Member My Island Joined: Jul 14, 2005 Posts: 2999	G GMAN Posted posted on Mon, Jun 8, 2009 6:31 PM Nice saw, Surfin. Looks kinda like mine? You bean kicking around here while I've bean out? Huh? I broke the bottom blade holder thingy doodadd in like 10 minutes. Careful with yours...don't tighten it up too much. That cheap metal tears right out. If you do break it, I have a fix. The puss is coming along nicely....I still don't know where you're going....but the trip has been fun so far.

A AlohaStation Tiki Socialite So FL Joined: Sep 27, 2004 Posts: 2434	A AlohaStation Posted posted on Thu, Jul 9, 2009 10:30 AM Don't go too crazy sanding. Imperfections give wood carvings character (at least that what I tell myself). I say start finishing and sand it smooth as you go.
C Clarita Member BA Arg Joined: Sep 26, 2006 Posts: 1301	C Clarita Posted posted on Sat, Jul 11, 2009 11:59 AM yes I agree to smooth may be no good :) it depends on the guy (in fact, how about some texture on the pole where the mouth is?...just an idea...)
B Benzart Member Port Saint Lucie, Florida Joined: Jan 09, 2004 Posts: 10397	B Benzart Posted posted on Sat, Jul 11, 2009 4:50 PM Naah, Keep On Sanding is my motto as long as you can get someone else to do it or to it with a machine!
