Hi rgbonehead, take a look in the free patterns section here(under carving community) at least two paterns are available for download, one a Bust the other a full caricature pattern, both are from WCI back issues.

Geeez removed that business about "light chain pull" wonder what I was looking at.
Ron just read your reply, sorry to hear about the medical problems. To paraphrase what Winston Churchill said "never surrender".

Ron, I am carving a Fireman for a pattern design by Chuck Smith. Rossiters has several, One by Steve Prescott and one by Chuck Smith.

Here is a link on what they have:

Ron.....damm, I am sorry to hear that. Not much I can say, except that too many good people are being taken by that damm disease. Carve on son, carve on. Carving brings you pleasure and you have a very special talent for it, so carve on! God love ya!

Bob
