If all else fails, at least you'll be ready for the return of the Conestogas, when ol' Mother Nature gives up the last of her oil. It will be interesting to see what you come up with now.

Made the Vise block out of scraps I had laying around ,, purple heart octagon,,birch dowel pilars and hard maple platform .. Almost cut my fingers off making the octagon,, No big deal , I'd fit in with the gang better at the christmas party . I picked up the wrong size wing nut at home depot ,,had to nut it . The brand new spoke shave I got works great ,,the one off ebay needs work .. horrible ., Could have used some files too I think .. This could be even more addictave ..

Thumbs up

Tagger, you waste no time! That's a cool lookin' plug ya got going there. Leave your fingers on, if ya don't it'll throw your handshake off. You're awesome.

thanks ... The blade in the ebay Stanley 151 spoke shave was junk .. I just ordered a new blade for $5.00 from Rose ... Some really nice carving tools there.. When do the free lures kick in ?

rounded up on the ends,,I'm working it on a stone .. I think they might have planed the heads on a 327 chevy with it ... Ordered a "Pounce Wheel "too for transfering patterns on to wood . Thought I could size fish ,print out and transfer to cand carve,, or cut up really small pizzas

Nice Tagger, the addiction grows. More tools, more wood, more plugs when does it all stop?
