Just couldn’t believe what was being used for roadside vendor tables in Bali—6 to 8 inch beautiful slab tables! That would make for a dream workbench. Anyway, here are pictures of carvers, their wares and tools, at various points on a trip we made a couple years ago for our tenth anniversary. The final products they turn out are ornate. The chisels used there are often handle-free. Pounding the tang suffices. The anvil idea is innovative, as is the foot vise.

It is quite unbelievable at the work craftsmen in other countries can create with the most basic tools. It makes one wonder if we really need to be ordering from the pricey catalogues that come in the mail.
As for the foot vice, it is a bit difficult to be in need of a large when you have a small and vica versa.
