Hi Ken

Yes I have finished one piece using it. I am impressed how it works.

It is good and solid, does not move while you are working on the piece.

I like the way it swivels so easily. I have a week long class this week so time is a bit short. Next week I have do another piece to send to USA so I will take a couple of photos for you.

The carving clamp looks great. I will be over at the NZ symposium in September and was wondering if you would be happy to let me use one of them in my demonstrations.

I will be demonstrating making a Nautilus bowl:

twice where I need to clamp the foot of the bowl and chuck for power carving. I usually use a carving pole that has been made in Australia but not commercially available as yet. This will save me having to bring one with me and also help with you promotion. I guess Robbie will also be demonstrating it as well.

When I demonstrate in USA I am always asked where they can get the clamp that I use and are disappointed when I tell them that it is not available. Maybe now they have the option of buying yours. 

Please let me know if this is possible.

Regards Neil
