Default Jawhorse carving stand.

I do not know if this will be of any interest to others. I needed a carving stand of some kind. Something that was portable and could be broken down and stored away. I also wanted a place to mount my Jerry Rig vise and holds the tools I am working with. Not long a go I got a Rockwell Jawhorse. I have been very happy with the way it works. It holds block lumber and logs very secure. I came up with this setup using the Jawhorse. I think will work well for me. It makes a very stable carving set up. I thought I would share it.

These are the bungee cords I will install to secure the chisels and carving knives.

I'm jealous....That's a great looking set up...!!!

I like the idea of portability. I've used picknic tables at the park before, but this looks a whole lot better...

Good for you for being so ingenius....!!!!
