no no Spirit, you still don't get it,
looking in your woodpile won't help unless you actually have some good carving wood in there

Springwater,...put your Dennis Lillee moustache on mate

Mo on, stepping out the run up, gold chain sparkling in the sun, be afraid Spirit be very afraid.

Liiiiiiiiiiillie, Liiiiiiiiiiillie, Liiiiiiiiiiillie, Liiiiiiiiiiillie,

I've got a 200mm Length x 120mm Width x 75mm Depth piece of Huon and a similar dimensioned piece of Box Alder if you want to have a crack at them.

No, that's the sound of two blocks of wood landing on your roof.

Hey Artesano,
the first on the left is a rotary chisel, its got 3 fixed carbide teeth, I've had it for at least 10 years and only sharpened it a few times
-next one is a arbortech mini carver, I use their carbide disc on hardwood and standard disc on softwood, (the standard discs are not too expensive over here,)
the die grinders(straight grinder) fit all sorts of bits from burrs to router bits to homemade carbide cutters, vary handy tool,(can take a bit of getting used to because they can get a bit cranky at 25,000 rpm)
next time I post a WIP I'll take better pics of the tools and what they can do.

Just wondering what the tools are with the 'sanding disc attachments?' to the right of the die grinder?
I picked up a bosch Die grinder for $111 yesterday! Now awaiting all those wonderfull carbide burrs from America to arrive.

I think you should get all the jutalong from this guy!
