[Woodcarver] Woodcarver List

  If you have not had the opportunity, check out the woodcarvers ezine.
  It was started by Bill Judt and then transitioned over to Matt Kelly.  There is a wealth of information there to be gleaned. 
  You may also want to check out Ivan's website (http://whillock.com) and Bill Judt's 
  http://wwwoodcarver.com/homebase/index.html   Bill uses routers and other tools to waste away wood that needs to removed
   
  In regards to hand tools, there have been severeal treatist on carving tools over the last serveral years and I believe. May be we could get Bill Judt and Ivan Whillock to repost (hint :)

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.

Have a Blessed Day.
