Winterlude been there now back

Well winterlude was excellent.
We met new friends and created a piece that was worth some accolades.
The chain saw could help now that we have worked in the region and they let you use one.
Our block was a layer of ice between 8 and 12 inches thick on two sides. The chain saw would have mowed right through this like nothing. The sharp tools required that much more work to accomplish the same task of removal.
But we have finished and we are back home now.
Where will the next adventure be.

Winterlude

No it has nothing to do with anti-depressants nor running around naked in the snow. It is a winter carnival in the Capital region, Ottawa/Gatineau.
I will be joined by Craig Mutch in this competition, our other teammate is staying home with a bad back.
We have our flaky theme, and a big block of snow to sculpt.
Rules abound at this event, I guess because the government or capital region is in charge. All the rules however seem to deal with the use of a chain saw, which I can not see being of any real use. But some seem to think there is an advantage.
The regular sharp hand tools do the job and it allows the team to work together instead of one guy working with a chain saw and the others watching him.

And that's my comment.
