    Default G'Day from Stu in Melbourne

    Hi All,
    My name is Stu Smith,
    I am in Melbourne at the moment, under sufferance.

    My interest is in carving martial arts weapons (by hand with wood rasps) particularly Bokken, which are the Japanese training swords for Kendo, Aikido and other Japanese arts.

    I have progressed to the stage where I am testing on a rig I have made, with testing trying to replicate the human body.
    Mmmm, sounds a bit morbid put like that, but it's a bit of fun, as well as proving our Aussie timbers can compete with the best in the world.

    Below is a link to some testing videos, please forgive the sense of humour (such as it is).

    All the best,

    Stu
