well 16 gauge is what I'll do using also, however there's no real reason I can't go smaller like 18 gauge, other than wanting something more substantial for the sculpture I'll be the working on for this client. I been looking at Kent White's products and like the fact you can do almost all the work with 1 tool. however price is an issue, what other products are out there are there any other products that can do the same thing? there's a picture on my site of the type of piece i'll be working on, called evolution of flora, at
jasonstillmanart.com, thanks for the advice it's much appreciated, J
