Quick update as I need to get to bed.
Spent about 2.5hrs in the garage tonight working at the block.
Halfway done on the front, still need to complete it, and then design the rest of the sides and carve them.
Takes time, and I would hate to break it by being impatient or hard handed.
And this is how far I got tonight.
The rest of the front still needs to be carved around the rings.
At this point I think Nicola will be happy with what I have created, and if she is happy.... I am happy.
