[Woodcarver] Woodcarver Lis

[Joe Hartnett]

Ivan, don't be so modest.  You are one of those professionals that have provided a lot of information and I hope you continue to.
I look forward to a posting whenever it has your name on it.

Take care,
JH

Welcome to the list, Huck!

No offense taken!

Yes, there is a social element to the wood carver's list which is permitted 
by the owner with the suggestion that (1) it be labeled "chat" on the 
subject line and that (2) it be kept down to a reasonable degree.  He will 
step in and give a friendly reminder when it gets out of hand.

The wood carving topics are usually driven by a specific question.  Then the 
serious participation in the List begins and information pours forth freely, 
from carvers with a great deal of experience who jump in when they see their 
participation would be of use.

The topics you mention have been discussed in the past and will be again if 
someone, such as yourself, asks for information.  So, the best way to steer 
the conversation to topics you're interested in is to ask away!

So, if you had an opportunity to "Ask Joe" something, what would it be?  He 
and  scores of experienced carvers are lurking out there ready to help! 
(Aren't you, Joe?)

Welcome!

> 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

> 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

>

> 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.
