Merrilee,

I guess building your own workbench is always better since you can 
customize it to exactly what you want. I didn't have the time or 
tools when I started carving so I did the next best thing. Bought a 
(relatively) cheap workbench and modified it to suit me. Did everyone 
else here build their own workbench or did they wimp out like me and 
buy one? :)

Almost forgot, I was at Smoky Mountain Woodcarvers in Townsend today, 
spending my Christmas present (gift certificate). I took a few 
pictures of the store and some of the carvings they have and posted 
the pictures to my picturetrails site under the Smoky Mountain 
Woodcarvers gallery.

Mike
