Yes correct... I had a .EU address..... I know it was unusual but I had connections out there in the 2000's.... Now British residents are banned from having one... and I haven't had the opportunity to relaunch yet...as it was so out of date I need a total revamp... Nice to hear you all here again...

I couldn't get the link to work... But yes thats me in Headley... Here try this link... Chainsaw Carving Artists – Google My Maps WWW.GOOGLE.COM Chainsaw Sculptors / Artists / Carving / Kunst / Kettensägenschnitzen/Escultura

I am in Headley.... Ashtead/Leatherhead/Epsom downs way... What's the deal? I see you have one of my pieces as your profile picture so I guess I have passed the audition? !

Does anyone know who is demonstrating? Sounds like a good connection someone has created, working NT wood on site and selling through them also, but all the research I did a moment ago never came up with a name?

Fabulous....A really good observation and study...Beautiful finish...I am very impressed

Love the sea horse, well done

Thats great Bobby, I like the multi faceted part, Kind of Octopussy in a way?

Best I could find that wasn't tool porn http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2242/3528093865_7f51096c66.jpg I have used a full face mask with a belt mounted blower/filter for years now. Everyone thinks that it's too much gear to wear, but I tell you, if I am tempted to not use it for 5mins sanding , OMG do I feel all my nasal passages suffering for a day or so. You don't realise what damage you might be doing until you remove the hazard. AND full eye protection is invaluable, no more lumps of clinker in your eyes in the mornings, no more micro scratches to prematurely induce catacts...... I am going to be doing this into old age, hope you are all going to be too!!

Great! Well done Bart. Whats the brown colouring, is it fungal? Did you see my efforts at leaf carving? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTGBkjAHrwU]YouTube - Makita 18v Cordless Chainsaw Test[/ame]

That's really a lovely thing you have done there. An empowering object, your new child will be blessed from the begining. Well Done!

I always fancied mounting a butt on a faceplate especially made for a tractor PTO......not in the rule book me thinks. Truth is it is just a lot of sawing and practice. The key is to start with the right proportions. Cut the log into a perfect cylinder Equal Hight and Diameter. Then go from there. Please do post any results David.

Yes hamadryad !....ha ha All durable woods too.....I like the idea of different colours, great one.

Great!...Glad you like guys, would love to make some more with different styles, Its just finding the right logs, big (these are 1m) and equal lenght to width....Always puts me off cutting up a bigger butt that I could make something else with.....

Thanks Everyone...! Yes Bart, great, Delighted you like it ......Personally I think it is the best think I have made this year so far.....It has a nice simple elegant form but with the contrast of texture and colour on the underside.....For me a complete synthasis.... And yes to all Tom.....Pay first, yes...pay commission, yes...You don't have to be there all the time, there is usually a rota between artists, BUT...I am there all days..... to sell as much as possible....And I love meeting the people....Best thing about this kind of event is the great feedback and contacts you make...Love Brighton every year.
