Welcome Moshe.  I think we can help you find that balance by having at
least one tool in each hand and a few more cradled in your arms and a
leg.  Nice pics of the olive wood -- it looks like you have a nice start
on some rustic furniture, and some great stock for oyster shell
veneering!

Don't be shy with pics of your carvings.
