Thank you for allowing me to use your work as inspiration for mine!
All of my pieces are sold or auctioned at ArtGivingHope.org and 100% of all earnings are used to fund the fight against diabetes that causes a large number of amputations, kidney failure and death in the Polynesions Islands of Tonga, Samoa and Fiji etc. As a foot and ankle surgeon, who has specialized in diabetic limb saving techniques, I am committed to aiding the Polynesian people who are in serious need. Starting in Jan, 2024 I will help fund and participate in medical/surgical missions to Tonga, Samoa and other countries, partnering with HopeForDiabetes.org. This organization is able to stretch every $1,000 donated into $10,000 worth of value in life and limb savings surgeries, wound care and preventative training for local doctors, nurses and community.

My commonly used tools:
-Laguna lathe, very well built, solid, strong, variable speed, 110 or 220 volt (amzn.to/3orYsOy)
- Lathe tools:
-Hollowing system: advancedlathetools.com
-Carbide tip: amzn.to/3agd3ay
-Great beginner set: amzn.to/3t5iMsA
-
-Angle Grinder: (amzn.to/36lgewG), one of my most indispensable tools, (amzn.to/3iXtNHW) this one has a flat head, helps get into tight spaces, carving and sanding disks are a life saver.
- Grinder Carving Disk: (amzn.to/39oWqKG), this is a really great disk for roughing out medium sized projects
- Grinder Sanding Disks: (amzn.to/3cj91Rv), fantastic for sanding and minor-moderate shaping stages
- Round Sanding System: (amzn.to/3r11N8Q) sleeves go around an inflatable ball (amzn.to/2KVCUvW )or make your own foam ball, attaches to a drill, great for tight corners.
- Palm Sander: (amzn.to/3r1mJg8), I like the size of the sand paper for both this and on the lathe by hand.
- Chain Saw: (amzn.to/2MbWNj2), trusty gas type, I also bought this electric one (amzn.to/3qZOqpp) for the in the garage projects
- Super Glue: (amzn.to/3pFg5vT) thin and runny, perfect for stabilizing bark or other unstable wood.
-Flexible Foam for mold building/dams: amzn.to/36lhGi8
Resin: LetsResin.com, Code: DanResin10
-
- Pressure Pot: (amzn.to/3JjD7mo) 10 gallon for big projects, (amzn.to/3tfp1u2) 5 gallon for the average sized resin projects or (amzn.to/3pwX0M8) for the smaller average jobs 2.5 gallon, both need minor modifications to work.

-Respirator: HIGHLY recommended for wood and resin work, speaking as a Dr, protect those lungs!
