I have taken an extreme amount of time getting the hinge points for the jaws placed just right and the effort has payed off, the movements are fluid and smooth.

cutting out the transferred markings is no big deal
I can accomplish that in little time.

Even getting the fur rough cut is no problem... BUT, from this point on is the really tough part for me, and I really need to be focused and in the right frame of mind to do the work from this point on... it lends itself to very few days.
