Just one. From the blurb hawking that video, it sounds like I'll be
able to carve a horse just like the master carver's immediately after
watching the video, or maybe even during it. If it's so easy, what's
the big deal about being a master carver? ;)

Hey, how hard could it be?

Heh - I think that before going to all that trouble, it might be a good
idea to see if the gates are closed... :-)

Well, you get a wooden mare and breed her to a wooden stallion and a rocking
horse will be made. :-)

Depends on how big you want it to be. If you're using it
to get your boys into the city of Troy, you might have
your work cut out for you.

I'm going to build that horse yet. I just haven't gotten around to it.

Will the computer that requires the firewall, be used to control stepper
motors that will let the horse walk?
I used to watch some guys carving carousel horses at a park in Los
Gatos, California as they refurbished an old carousel. They basically
built up a bunch of blocks onto a skeleton for the rough shape and
then carved away.
Of course you can get a video on how to do this at the Carousel Store.
