> Hi Gang:

>

> I am new to the wood carvers list. And although I am new at carving I am

> fairly well acquainted with woodworking in general. My shop is well 

> equipped

> with power tools such as the saw table, miter saw with home built

> extensions, floor planer/jointer, drill press, routers, band saw and the

> list goes on. I am also into the old hand tools and have dozens of planes,

> saws, eggbeaters and this list also goes on.

>

> I am a member of the OldTools List which has about a couple thousand

> members. I learn a lot from the other members and sometimes I may have

> something to offer. Even for you carvers I would highly recommend this 

> list

> to you. Yes . . . carving tools are often a topic of discussion. But this

> list does have rules. Pretty good rules at that.

>

> I had hopes I could learn some carving tips from the WoodCarver list. So 

> far

> not much. Most of the chatter is just that. "Hi Betty, how's the family".

> Or, "It was a nice trip, hope you made it home Ok". These private

> conversations should be avoided. Well, that's my opinion.

>

> What I would like to see more of is which gouges or V tools were used and

> why. Power carving . . . same thing, high speed steel bits or diamond 

> bits.

> You know, the practical every day things that is the heart of the craft. I

> don't think I am missing the skills, but I am missing the experience and 

> the

> methods. Ok . . . you get the idea. Hope I didn't offend anyone.

>

> Check it out. New members (Galoots) are always welcome.
