Have Adze Will Travel
During the winter of 2001 I spent 3 months in South Africa setting up a workshop and teaching basic woodworking skills to the indigenous people there. 
  
In 2005 I was doing something similar in Belize

An Adze is an ancient tool used in many parts of the world appearing in different shapes and sizes depending on its function i.e. shipwright, carpenter, canoe builder, etc.  Mine is about the size of a felling axe and has much deeper curves than others.  Its main use is in shaping chair seats
