Peep into my world the Thailand old forest Teak bench now exposed after two hours removing surplus items stacked in and on it over time. As usual for me when carving I like comfort using the SKF air turbine drill that turns at 300,000 rpm. The Durr dry air compressor on the left with another dry air nail gun compressor the Durr new sells for 7000 Aussie pesos picked up 2nd hand.

The bench also allows blanks to be set up in order of tasks with the appropriate kit etc the next three off the rank are 2-3000 yr old Huon Pine Burl, 150 yr old Conkerberry both indiginous to Huon in Tasmania and Conkerberry from The Northern Territory alongside Sth American Rosewood Burl.

In the vertical are 3 sets from Marla in Canadas Casting Japanese Paper, Watch Parts Steampunk andAbove from Texas Snakeskin for a Slimline, next to American Quater two blanks one Utah and the other Washingto significant for me and my daughter who lives in Utah. Others ready to go.

On the left hand side are the two Compressors both Oilless the blue Durr one from Europe from a dentist surgery upgrade the other a nail gun compressor.

The comfort I enjoy with the air chair I use another for the VL150 lathe.

Kind regards Peter.:thumbs:
