Well iv spent the last few hours working on the Dragon house sign.  If you remember the picture of it i have in works in progress you will see that under the feet and then wraped around the tail theres a rectangle of wood with like a frame around it.... Now my orginal idea was to lower the wood inside the rectangular frame and the paint our house numbers on it.  Well that was taking a really long time so I decided to see if i could find my carving chisals...I couldnt but i did find the small box some of my little knives was in and i tried that but it wasnt working the blades are in great need of sharping so then i grabed a couple of spikes big chisles which was working better but since i have nothing to clamp the sign down on the darn dragon keep moving on me while i was trying to chisiel out some of the wood where the numbers will go. This of course made spike nervious lol ( iv never had anything to clamp my projects to so i just hold them or hold them down on the table)  so he got a small clamp and tried to clamp it to the kitchen table but that didnt work either. So i decided id go back and forth between the chisels and the dremil until i got the sign lowered on each side so that the letters will look like there in some kind of frame.  well spike watched me do that for a few minutes and decided it was to dangerous lol so he said he had an idea and took the dragon into the woodshop. I have no idea what hes doing lol but im sure it will be fine and it saves me some work. lol then i finish line carving the lines of the dragon and see if spike can tell me where i need to lower some things and such if he dosnt know maybe if i take a picture of it someone here would be able to help me from a picture if not....well iLL just have to pray more and hope God will guide me and i will understand what hes telling me to do lol if worse comes to worse i'll just leave it with the line carving put weather proffing on it and then paint it..... spike just came in and said i dont know how you have managed to keep all your fingers the way you go about doing things!!! lol but he has a great idea on how to lower the wood and smooth it out some on each side so it will be ready to paint.  wounderful!!  that will cut 3 or 4 days off the time it will take to finish it
