Setting up your work area to carve and sand horses

 While I still do most of the work by hand I do find various rotary tools helpful for reaching into places that sandpaper doesn't  go.

I try to take advantage of good weather to keep all of the wood chips and sawdust out of the house.
It's also nice to be able to work out in the fresh air whenever possible.

It's also nice to make yourself an area indoors to store and display your finished horses so that you can enjoy the results of all of your hard work.
