Dishing Stump- Day 2:
So as you can see, i have been drilling out large holes around the edge of the circle to remove as much wood as possible. Then, as with the last post, i have been chipping away at the center with the claw of the hammer.
Dishing Stump- Day 3:
Come day Three, I thought of a new way to go about this. Instead of drilling these holes with inconsistent depths, i can use the claw of the hammer to "scoop" out the wood meat. I used a smaller Sharper edged claw hammer and bashed it down with a heavier hammer face to face. The holes i had already made were a huge help because the hammer didn't get stuck as it cut through. The great thing is that the line it makes are very smooth and perfectly curved. So far, this is working out great! Although, one Huge suggestion to anyone who uses this technique, Protect your ears! Two hammers slamming together is very loud! Its a high pitched stabbing noise and after you hear it 200 times in a row, you wont be able to hear anything else.
Dishing Stump- Day 4:
Full Steam Ahead! This is working out perfectly and I'm almost done! But I missed my personal deadline of 3/13/10 for the dishing stump to be completed. That's alright though, ill have it done tonight.
