Cool Re: Snakes

Looking at them again I think that an apple, as Shoeless' suggested would make the finishing touch for sure!

Brian,

That is one neat snake--I bet the critters will stand up and take notice of him!

Q-uestion on your air chisels--do you use a collar or spring with the air hammer? Or, do you just hold the air chisel in the air hammer with the welded on handle by hand? I've used air chisels with the rescue squad--my favorite tool by far--and you've got me thinking about trying to use them in wood carving.

I like the ingenuity in your tools! The tripod reminded me of heavy rescue school where we lashed 4x6's with rope and used block and tackle to lift a concrete pipe (filled with concrete). Oh, that was fun! LOL

Thanks,
Bob

Thanks everybody,

Bob, the air chisels are held by hand by the rubber hose the hose gives control and cuts the vibration.
