Hi Lee;

I can't help you on that one, but I was hoping you could perhaps help me. I'll be carving my minicell soon, and I'm looking for the best carving tool(s) to use as well. I'm not familiar with the zig-zag japanese rasps, could you elaborate on exactly what they are? Actually, I'd like to hear how you carve in general. I'm a bit afraid of going right at the foam with a fast removal sander as some use - I'd rather do it slowly and waste some time as opposed to esthetics . . . My plan is to build a seat assembly ala Joe Greenley, and only time, and tool selection/control will tell how that turns out . . .

Thanks in advance, Spidey
