Just wanted to share what I was able to make this Christmas. This less than half of what I was able to carve, but most things have been sent already. With 14 grandkids and 8 children, my machine got a big workout this year and she worked perfectly for 300 Hrs. I am now down waiting for bearings. My 3rd Christmas with this machine has been my best. Thank you to all who have contributed to this forum. It has been an indispensable tool over the last 3 years. Have a great Christmas and New Year!
