So far I am all in one piece. :) I believe you meant peace ? Oh I do, when I have the time, I am probably either carving wood on a CNC machine to do the carving precisely, or writing the GCode to do the carving as precisely as it needs to be. Usually out of some $10 to $20 a bd ft wood, like Cherry or Mahogany, sometimes Maple. Occasionally white ash. Except for the Mahogany, I harvested it and its been in the wood shed drying naturally for 6 to 15 years now, Very occasionally Walnut but Walnut dust is the most toxic wood dust about, so I do that with open doors on both ends of the garage. I also do a bit of strictly for me, smithing, cutting the group size of a cheap 50 cal muzzle loading rifle to 5% of what it was when I bought it new. That took a new stock I carved on the CNC mill, and some parts in the ignition system I made on a toy but CNC controlled lathe. Most places, that sort of accuracy is usually called "Old meat in the pot". One shot, properly placed and its painless because they are D.R.T., aka dead right there. Not another step, but right there. Unfortunately, deer season is in cold weather, and I'm diabetic enough my feet could freeze, so I've not hit the deer woods for about 6 years now. So while there are times when I make my own work, I always look at it as keeping me out of the bars. You can get into all sorts of trouble when that 2 at 22:00 turns into a 10 at 02:00 the next morning. But then you knew that already. ;-) > regards Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
