[Woodcarver] I give up

[Mike & Patty Wilcox]

That is up to you  but I paid $5 for a cheat set at Mal=-Mart & if it was all I had I'd carve.  Patterns are everywhere n-line free too.  wood I  carved some of my 1st from the arms off of an old chair that was being thrown out.
I used only a pocket knife for quiet a while & still carve with very little.
But it's up to you--
As for me I'll carve something with something because I love it.

  Hi guys,

  I would like to thank all those who answered my previous email about patterns and knives.

  I have broken the jury rigged knife I was using and now have no form of knife whatsoever. As I just told someone, I didn't expect the high prices of the basics such as a decent knife. I also have to purchase my wood, I live in the city, I can't travel. I figure it is time to give up. I have never been good at any sort of creative craft before, carving was a bit different, I could actually do something. Most people think that all handicapped people do, is sit around and watch television. Well, for me, except for my penpals, emailpals and painpals that will be true from now on. 

  Again thanks to everyone I have ever spoken to on this list, I hang around for a short time, then I will unsubscribe, no use making thing worse, I will find it hard to hear about other people talking about what I can't do.

  Bye folks.

  Alan Jones in Adelaide, South Australia
