[Woodcarver] Carving from June 2007 class with Bill Judt

[Joe Dillett]

Hi Alex,

Awesome work. Thanks for sharing.

Others, especially new members, may not know what an engineering genus Alex 
is. I had a Boring Contest for my first Gathering Of Woodcarvers (1999). 
Alex won by consistently drilling an 11/16 hole clear through a 1-inch 
diameter, 4-foot long, wood dowel, from one end using only hand 
tools,without breaking out the side. Steve Kline won second place being able 
to drill about 2-1/2 feet before breaking out the side. The process had to 
be repeatable and they had to bring a video tape of them doing it. Alex had 
a very simple setup that worked every time.
