[Woodcarver] skateboarder update.

[Watson Family]

For those who have shown interest in my skareboarder i have added some 
pictures to my web page  under "work in progress"
The timber Sugar Gum is proving to be very hard. I've worn out one set of 
tungsten tips for the arbortech already. It is not a problem in that I can 
get as many as I like from Arbortech as a sponsored carver, but it is a one 
and a half hour round trip to their factory.
I will soon have to add the arms and that is causeing me some concern as I 
have never done this before. I thought to turn a one inch tenon on the 
lathe but as I imagined the arm would have a bend this may be a problem. 
Still I could use a dowel.
Any way have a look and make any suggestions you see fit.
