Sweet stuff 8ft! I love it! Coon tiki was a while ago! Get to work! (Who am I to talk?!).
I just set this up today for a stab at soapstone carving...
It's currently looking like a bat.
The pushpin stops the drip (for now...)

Perfect timing for this thread...I'm getting very charged up to get to work on some stuff too, especally after Mom and Pop decided to hook me up for my birthday:
Can't wait to get to breaking these in....and there is a log procuring expedition scheduled for next weekend! And a little something GMAN has been guiding me with....
(Thanks for the advice you gave to Pop, Ben!)
Many more pics coming very soon!
