Hi Fellow Carvers;
Caricature carvers and anyone else that might be interested in carving  
Flat Plane Carving Style, I want to draw your attention to a wonderful  
carving instructional resource.
It is a series of what I think are terrific Flat Plane Carving  
instructional videos produced by a gentleman named Gene Messer from  
Texas which are available on YouTube for viewing on line or downloading.
Now I know that everyone doesn't have highspeed internet service, but  
if you do these videos will only take a few minutes to download each  
part.
If you use the same browser as I do, Firefox, you can also use an add  
on called Download Helper, which will allow you to start the download  
and queue a number of videos to download one after another , it  
doesn't require you to sit and watch each video part from start to  
finish to download it.
I also use GOM Player a freeware program to view these videos on my  
hard drive, the downloaded videos are saved in a .FLV format.
Most of Gene Messer's videos have a number of parts to them , so be  
sure to get all the parts for each subject or title that you are  
interested in.
I have listed the various topic/subject videos that Gene Messer has  
produced so far. These titles may not match exactly the YouTube title.
If you go to: http://www.youtube.com/user/whittler0507
Or
http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=whittler0507&p=r

You will see a number of his videos that are available, about 81 so far.
I have no monetary/agreement/connection  with or to YouTube or Gene  
Messer, I have talked to Gene on a few occasions via e-mail, never met  
him in person, to me he comes across as a real gentleman who is just  
interested in helping carvers and woodbee carvers to become proficient  
in Flat Plane Carving. He is an excellent carver and his method of  
carving helps to simplify the Flat Plane Carving Style.
Oh and did I mention the best part ...there is no charge for these  
videos other than the time it takes to view them or download them.

Please treat this as a public service announcement and if you happen  
to see this message on another mailing list  it is not meant as spam.
