Bit hard to be jolly when you are only a head :D

Hi Bob

Nice piece - beautiful timbers and great shaping (as usual) :)
You're putting out plenty of work, confined to barracks over there?
Cheers

Hi

Brett.
The cigarette is part of the original design. I guess it could be left out if one were concerned about promoting smoking. But I don't think this guy is too much of a theat as a role model.

Chained to my S.S.machine? No but bit cool here for outdoor woodworking.
Woke up to minus 30 this AM.

Great work as usual Bob.
It is +34 degrees C here today with a humidity level of about 80% and still it won't rain.
I can't imagine -30.
I mean how do you function.
Anyway at least it keeps Bob at his scrollsaw.
Looking forward to the next piece.
Steve.
