For informative and fun REAL TIME conversations with a number of the carvers on "The List", come to the Woodcarver chats. We don't always talk about carving, but if anyone has a question or comment, we can get serious in a hurry. Get to know the people behind the names. And bring you carving questions with you!!! We meet on Wednesday nights at 9:30 PM Eastern and on Sundays at 4:30 PM Eastern. If you are NOT using an IRC chat program, I think you will like these simplified instructions!!! Just click on one of the links below...either will take you directly to #Woodcarverchat http://www.starlink-irc.org/java/java_williamslake.html?chan=#Woodcarverchat http://www.starlink-irc.org/java/java_stopover.html?chan=#woodcarverchat This may take a LONG time to load!!!!!!! Don't give up. When it finally does load, you will be asked to type in a nickname.....then click connect, and wait a little bit longer. The chat screen will open. Type something in the narrow horizontal space just below the chat screen and hit you enter key. Nothing to it! :) If you are using WebTV or still have trouble getting there, one of these links will work...we just save them as a last resort in case all other links don't work: http://63.79.14.90/cgi-bin/irc.cgi http://cobra-ip1.vipershells.com/cgi-bin/irc.cgi http://stopover.ky.us.starlink-irc.org/cgi-bin/irc.cgi (This one will have the fastest connection) Type in a nickname where it says"nickname"i Where is says, "channel", type in #woodcarverchat (don't forget the #). ******* If you are using an mIRC chat program: 1. Log onto your ISP. 2. Open mIRC. You should see a box "mIRC Options". If you don't then click on View then on "Options" Fill in the information there...you do NOT have to put in your real name or email address. For security purposes, make them up. Do put in the nickname you want and an alternative. 4. Click on the button with the sunburst icon, just to the right of the button that says, "Connect to Server". Where it says "IRC Network", scroll down until you see "Starlink-IRC" and highlight that so it shows in the window. There is also a Starlink network, so make sure that the one you select has the "IRC" after it. Now click on the arrow next to the IRC server window. That will list a number of Starlink-IRC servers....select one of them. The Starlink-IRC random server will automatically pick one of the servers for you, so you can use that one. With one of the Starlink-IRC servers in the window, click on "Connect to Server" If the Starlink Random Server is not in your mirc program you can add it: Click the "add" button. Where it says "Description" type "Starlink Random Server" Where it says "IRC Server" type IRC.STARLINK-IRC.ORG Port should be 6664,6665,6666,6667,6668,6669 (all of those with no spaces between them) and "Group" is Starlink-IRC 5. Once connected, you'll see lots of scrolling text. When that stops, type /join #Woodcarverchat in the window at the bottom and hit your "enter" key. (you need the / and #, and Woodcarverchat must be spelled exactly right) I have put these instructions on a web page with direct links at http://artwebmaine.com/woodcarverchat.html You may want to bookmark it. ******* See you there! E-mail me off the list for additional information and instructions.

These are the first relief type I have done. Took me way to long but they were fun. These are Santa ornaments from Cyndi Joslyn patterns and the snowmen are Will Hayden's pattern. Those are fun to carve and my wife loves them. Thanks Will! All were carved from 3/8 basswood stock, painted in acrylic and oils and sealed with satin lacquer. I am done with ornaments for this year :-) You can view them here: http://iowacarver.tripod.com/ Thanks for looking as always!

For Christmas I would like a few more disabled veterans to teach. I am staying in touch with Camp Pendleton [Wounded Warriors West], and 2 of the students I had in class there who continue to carve. Sharon and I are hoping to do it again in the first half of next year. We are just waiting to hear from them. I've been trying to get something going in Washington DC with Wounded Warriors East. So far I haven't got a contact (staff member to Wounded Warrior East) to help organize it. I was lucky enough to find a disabled veteran, from the Gulf War, who's interested in learning to carve. He lives close enough to my shop and has been coming for regular classes. We are also contacting L. Tammy Duckworth, Director of Veterans Affairs here in Illinois, to see if we can get more organized. Joe Dillett The Carving Shop 645 E.

I have posted pics on my website of a few more of them. Frosty the snowman is the first rough out I have done. Snowmen are some of my favorite things to carve and my wife is a collector so I think this one will be for her. He is still in the nude and un painted :-) He is about 9 inches tall and approx 3.5 to 4 inches wide. Also some cowboy boots that I did for a couple buddy?s at work who are into horses and work in our livestock insurance dept. They are from basswood and approx 4 ? tall on the base.

Unwind for a while with some fellow carvers and join in on some real-time conversations. No...we don't always talk about carving, but if you have a question or comment, we can get pretty serious about carving in a hurry. Chats start today (Sunday) at 4:30 PM Eastern, with people stopping in until around 11:30 PM. On Wednesdays, we are there starting at about 9:30 PM Eastern Here's How to Get There: If you are NOT using an IRC chat program, I think you will like these simplified instructions!!! Just click on one of the links below...either will take you directly to #Woodcarverchat http://www.starlink-irc.org/java/java_williamslake.html?chan=#Woodcarverchat http://www.starlink-irc.org/java/java_stopover.html?chan=#woodcarverchat This may take a LONG time to load!!!!!!! Don't give up. When it finally does load, you will be asked to type in a nickname.....then click connect, and wait a little bit longer. The chat screen will open. Type something in the narrow horizontal space just below the chat screen and hit you enter key. Nothing to it! :) If you are using WebTV or still have trouble getting there, one of these links will work...we just save them as a last resort in case all other links don't work: http://63.79.14.90/cgi-bin/irc.cgi http://cobra-ip1.vipershells.com/cgi-bin/irc.cgi http://stopover.ky.us.starlink-irc.org/cgi-bin/irc.cgi (This one will have the fastest connection) Type in a nickname where it says"nickname"i Where is says, "channel", type in #woodcarverchat (don't forget the #). ******* If you are using an mIRC chat program: 1. Log onto your ISP. 2. Open mIRC. You should see a box "mIRC Options". If you don't then click on View then on "Options" Fill in the information there...you do NOT have to put in your real name or email address. For security purposes, make them up. Do put in the nickname you want and an alternative. 4. Click on the button with the sunburst icon, just to the right of the button that says, "Connect to Server". Where it says "IRC Network", scroll down until you see "Starlink-IRC" and highlight that so it shows in the window. There is also a Starlink network, so make sure that the one you select has the "IRC" after it. Now click on the arrow next to the IRC server window. That will list a number of Starlink-IRC servers....select one of them. The Starlink-IRC random server will automatically pick one of the servers for you, so you can use that one. With one of the Starlink-IRC servers in the window, click on "Connect to Server" If the Starlink Random Server is not in your mirc program you can add it: Click the "add" button. Where it says "Description" type "Starlink Random Server" Where it says "IRC Server" type IRC.STARLINK-IRC.ORG Port should be 6664,6665,6666,6667,6668,6669 (all of those with no spaces between them) and "Group" is Starlink-IRC 5. Once connected, you'll see lots of scrolling text. When that stops, type /join #Woodcarverchat in the window at the bottom and hit your "enter" key. (you need the / and #, and Woodcarverchat must be spelled exactly right) I have put these instructions on a web page with direct links at http://artwebmaine.com/woodcarverchat.html You may want to bookmark it. ******* See you there! E-mail me off the list for additional information and instructions.

For informative and fun REAL TIME conversations with a number of the carvers on "The List", come to the Woodcarver chats. We don't always talk about carving, but if anyone has a question or comment, we can get serious in a hurry. Get to know the people behind the names. And bring you carving questions with you!!! We meet on Wednesday nights at 9:30 PM Eastern and on Sundays at 4:30 PM Eastern. If you are NOT using an IRC chat program, I think you will like these simplified instructions!!! Just click on one of the links below...either will take you directly to #Woodcarverchat http://www.starlink-irc.org/java/java_williamslake.html?chan=#Woodcarverchat http://www.starlink-irc.org/java/java_stopover.html?chan=#woodcarverchat This may take a LONG time to load!!!!!!! Don't give up. When it finally does load, you will be asked to type in a nickname.....then click connect, and wait a little bit longer. The chat screen will open. Type something in the narrow horizontal space just below the chat screen and hit you enter key. Nothing to it! :) If you are using WebTV or still have trouble getting there, one of these links will work...we just save them as a last resort in case all other links don't work: http://63.79.14.90/cgi-bin/irc.cgi http://cobra-ip1.vipershells.com/cgi-bin/irc.cgi http://stopover.ky.us.starlink-irc.org/cgi-bin/irc.cgi (This one will have the fastest connection) Type in a nickname where it says"nickname"i Where is says, "channel", type in #woodcarverchat (don't forget the #). ******* If you are using an mIRC chat program: 1. Log onto your ISP. 2. Open mIRC. You should see a box "mIRC Options". If you don't then click on View then on "Options" Fill in the information there...you do NOT have to put in your real name or email address. For security purposes, make them up. Do put in the nickname you want and an alternative. 4. Click on the button with the sunburst icon, just to the right of the button that says, "Connect to Server". Where it says "IRC Network", scroll down until you see "Starlink-IRC" and highlight that so it shows in the window. There is also a Starlink network, so make sure that the one you select has the "IRC" after it. Now click on the arrow next to the IRC server window. That will list a number of Starlink-IRC servers....select one of them. The Starlink-IRC random server will automatically pick one of the servers for you, so you can use that one. With one of the Starlink-IRC servers in the window, click on "Connect to Server" If the Starlink Random Server is not in your mirc program you can add it: Click the "add" button. Where it says "Description" type "Starlink Random Server" Where it says "IRC Server" type IRC.STARLINK-IRC.ORG Port should be 6664,6665,6666,6667,6668,6669 (all of those with no spaces between them) and "Group" is Starlink-IRC 5. Once connected, you'll see lots of scrolling text. When that stops, type /join #Woodcarverchat in the window at the bottom and hit your "enter" key. (you need the / and #, and Woodcarverchat must be spelled exactly right) I have put these instructions on a web page with direct links at http://artwebmaine.com/woodcarverchat.html You may want to bookmark it. ******* See you there! E-mail me off the list for additional information and instructions.

I think that she has taken a look at life expectancy tables and figured she won't possibly have enough time to finish training you, Mike. But she is a wise woman and figures a half trained husband is better than most. The other telling thing about this statement is the obvious Freudian slip, "beats me, Jack". I fully agree with her methods but urge her to take to the gym to strengthen her upper body so she may beat you more effectively, you are still able to type.

Stations of the Cross link... References: <4911BF46-F607-4C11-A5FE-67328E8F4621@sasktel.net> Message-ID: <58AF9D6FC8A5461B8B62444DB9A266B9@Joe> Hi Bill, Very nice job. One thing that might be helpful is if you give the size of the Stations, including thickness, and the mounting method. Although not necessary but additional information could include the type of wood and finish. Many Catholic churches are using a 15th Station, the Resurrection. Perhaps a note saying that you would be willing to carve the Resurrection as the 15th Station if needed. Everything else looks great. Our area (60 miles west of Chicago) was recognized as one of the fasting growing areas in the U.S. about 15 years ago. Population growth has slowed over the last 10 years. Our plans on building a new public school have been put on hold. The sub-divisions that were planned were also put on hold long before the mortgage crises, which will even slow things down more. There are no new building starts and there are a whole bunch of For Sale signes. Ten years ago we talked about building a new Catholic church but decided to remodel and put the new building plans on hold. It might be another 10 years before we have to build. I am working on large carvings for an altar and pulpit for a new Catholic church that just broke ground on November 9th. When I inquired about the Stations for the church they thought that they would use the Stations from the old church. To help direct your marketing strategy maybe it would be helpful to direct it toward memorials from individuals? I found that most times items for Churches are given from private parties as memorials. Most churches seems to be getting along fine with an older item, such as the Stations Of The Cross, and until some parishioner comes forward to donate a new Stations Of The Cross no thought is given to replacing them. Also, I believe that every Catholic diocese has a Designer Of Sacred Space who needs to review all plans for any major remodeling or new church construction to make sure all church law is followed and offer any suggestions that might be helpful. Ours that came from the Rockford Diocese was an older priest who reviewed our plans, offered suggestions and reported his approval back to the bishop. I don't normally work with them except on our church. They don't normally select the individual artworks but maybe they could be another marketing outlet? Even though we rotate pastors ever 7 to 10 years, the personal preference of the pastor has a lot to do with the selection of art. My original idea for this large Last Supper, that I'm working on for the altar, got changed when reviewed by the pastor. He did not want to have images of non-saints or non-biblical figures. I hope this was helpful. I wish you a wonderful sale. Your Stations deserve to be used. Joe Dillett The Carving Shop 645 E.

As you know I've carved many through the years, and, as we've discussed before, done some research. Some churches like to have a 15th station, but others feel the "15th station" is represented by the service itself. We've also discussed thematic variations, including the more recent "scriptural" version, as opposed to the "traditional" version you chose to do. It's a very interesting tradition, starting, I think, with St. Francis of Assisi. Through the years one suggestion for funding that we've made and which has been met with enthusiasm is to have families in the parish "adopt" a station. That works particularly well for commissioned works where families can follow the progress of "their" station on the carver's website.

Friends in Carving: Please support our List - visit the Carvers' Campanion Shop at http://cafepress.com/woodcarving ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi Bill, Very nice job. One thing that might be helpful is if you give the size of the Stations, including thickness, and the mounting method. Although not necessary but additional information could include the type of wood and finish. Many Catholic churches are using a 15th Station, the Resurrection. Perhaps a note saying that you would be willing to carve the Resurrection as the 15th Station if needed. Everything else looks great. Our area (60 miles west of Chicago) was recognized as one of the fasting growing areas in the U.S. about 15 years ago. Population growth has slowed over the last 10 years. Our plans on building a new public school have been put on hold. The sub-divisions that were planned were also put on hold long before the mortgage crises, which will even slow things down more. There are no new building starts and there are a whole bunch of For Sale signes. Ten years ago we talked about building a new Catholic church but decided to remodel and put the new building plans on hold. It might be another 10 years before we have to build. I am working on large carvings for an altar and pulpit for a new Catholic church that just broke ground on November 9th. When I inquired about the Stations for the church they thought that they would use the Stations from the old church. To help direct your marketing strategy maybe it would be helpful to direct it toward memorials from individuals? I found that most times items for Churches are given from private parties as memorials. Most churches seems to be getting along fine with an older item, such as the Stations Of The Cross, and until some parishioner comes forward to donate a new Stations Of The Cross no thought is given to replacing them. Also, I believe that every Catholic diocese has a Designer Of Sacred Space who needs to review all plans for any major remodeling or new church construction to make sure all church law is followed and offer any suggestions that might be helpful. Ours that came from the Rockford Diocese was an older priest who reviewed our plans, offered suggestions and reported his approval back to the bishop. I don't normally work with them except on our church. They don't normally select the individual artworks but maybe they could be another marketing outlet? Even though we rotate pastors ever 7 to 10 years, the personal preference of the pastor has a lot to do with the selection of art. My original idea for this large Last Supper, that I'm working on for the altar, got changed when reviewed by the pastor. He did not want to have images of non-saints or non-biblical figures. I hope this was helpful. I wish you a wonderful sale. Your Stations deserve to be used. Joe Dillett The Carving Shop 645 E.

For marketing purposes, you might want to consider taking out a few ads in the State Catholic publications. They offer anything form a classified ad to a typical commercial ad. Many States have a publication. Here in Michigan it is called the Michigan Catholic. Most churches upon opening will buy to decorate in the pastors style or theme. Once this large purchase is made it is unusual to be replaced. New churches in new areas is your target market. I can provide contact info here in Michigan and I'm sure they can help you branch out geographically. Good luck . Merry Christmas !!

For informative and fun REAL TIME conversations with a number of the carvers on "The List", come to the Woodcarver chats. We don't always talk about carving, but if anyone has a question or comment, we can get serious in a hurry. Get to know the people behind the names. And bring you carving questions with you!!! We meet on Wednesday nights at 9:30 PM Eastern and on Sundays at 4:30 PM Eastern. If you are NOT using an IRC chat program, I think you will like these simplified instructions!!! Just click on one of the links below...either will take you directly to #Woodcarverchat http://www.starlink-irc.org/java/java_williamslake.html?chan=#Woodcarverchat http://www.starlink-irc.org/java/java_stopover.html?chan=#woodcarverchat This may take a LONG time to load!!!!!!! Don't give up. When it finally does load, you will be asked to type in a nickname.....then click connect, and wait a little bit longer. The chat screen will open. Type something in the narrow horizontal space just below the chat screen and hit you enter key. Nothing to it! :) If you are using WebTV or still have trouble getting there, one of these links will work...we just save them as a last resort in case all other links don't work: http://63.79.14.90/cgi-bin/irc.cgi http://cobra-ip1.vipershells.com/cgi-bin/irc.cgi http://stopover.ky.us.starlink-irc.org/cgi-bin/irc.cgi (This one will have the fastest connection) Type in a nickname where it says"nickname"i Where is says, "channel", type in #woodcarverchat (don't forget the #). ******* If you are using an mIRC chat program: 1. Log onto your ISP. 2. Open mIRC. You should see a box "mIRC Options". If you don't then click on View then on "Options" Fill in the information there...you do NOT have to put in your real name or email address. For security purposes, make them up. Do put in the nickname you want and an alternative. 4. Click on the button with the sunburst icon, just to the right of the button that says, "Connect to Server". Where it says "IRC Network", scroll down until you see "Starlink-IRC" and highlight that so it shows in the window. There is also a Starlink network, so make sure that the one you select has the "IRC" after it. Now click on the arrow next to the IRC server window. That will list a number of Starlink-IRC servers....select one of them. The Starlink-IRC random server will automatically pick one of the servers for you, so you can use that one. With one of the Starlink-IRC servers in the window, click on "Connect to Server" If the Starlink Random Server is not in your mirc program you can add it: Click the "add" button. Where it says "Description" type "Starlink Random Server" Where it says "IRC Server" type IRC.STARLINK-IRC.ORG Port should be 6664,6665,6666,6667,6668,6669 (all of those with no spaces between them) and "Group" is Starlink-IRC 5. Once connected, you'll see lots of scrolling text. When that stops, type /join #Woodcarverchat in the window at the bottom and hit your "enter" key. (you need the / and #, and Woodcarverchat must be spelled exactly right) I have put these instructions on a web page with direct links at http://artwebmaine.com/woodcarverchat.html You may want to bookmark it. ******* See you there!

I have the superjaws and love them. However, I cannot imagine why anyone would want to put wheels on them. One of the things I like about them is that they are so stable and I think wheels, even if they lock, would detract from this nice feature. Also, the superjaws are not really heavy and are very easy to move around a shop while set up - just lift and move them. I am a fairly small person and do it easily - even after back surgery 6 months ago. Also, the superjaws are designed to easily fold up to store or put in a vehicle to move and putting wheels on them could detract from this space saving feature. I'd recommend trying them without the wheels for a while to see if you really think the wheels are necessary.

I have in mind to put two wheels on one end and a handle on the other so that these become usable once the jaws are folded, not in the open position. I should then beable to pull it along behind me. The weight will be reduced by half because the wheels will support one end. Two years ago Alex I would not have considered them heavy but now I can only swing a mallet for a short time and then it is stop and rest. Anything that keeps me carving is worth the effort because I am certainly not going to give up.

I will look for the book at either Treeline or WoodCraft (our two local carving stores) and buy it. I will then get what patterns I need, and donate it to the Woodcarving Group for PTSD Veterans at the Salt lake City VA Hospital, where I am both a member of the group and a volunteer. I also want to say that I thoroughly enjoy being a part of this group. I have gotten several good ideas and suggestions. I have always been interested in woodworking, and because of some of the things I am dealing with as a PTSD veteran, was referred to the woodcarving group, where not only do I learn more about woodcarving (we have an Excellent instructor), I also get the opportunity to work with and get to know fellow veterans. As a side note, I am always looking for easy carving patterns for myself and the other veterans in the group and will pass them on to Mike Scott ( the Recreation Therapy Director).

Well are we at that time again. Last year my New Year?s resolution was quite different than the one I am planning on making this year (second tour to Kandahar last year). This year I?ve decided to build a new webpage and to add another 9 new carving books to my list and another 15 free lessons and 15 new free patterns on the net. But I am also planning on carving a sculpture for the Canadian War Museum and the Canadian Forces National Defense Headquarters in Ottawa, which should take up most of the year. But the bottom line is?? I am going to relax and enjoy a year of carving (after work) because next year I should be on my way back to Kandahar. Chimo !

I discovered carving last February. I don't think I have enjoyed as any hobby I have enjoyed carving. I started out with a couple knives and now have a chest full of tools thanks to Larry :-) Lots of carving books. It didn't take me long to discover that carving is a blood sport :-) Even earned a purple carving heart from my friend Will Hayden. But I got my head together and take the needed precautions now and have been cut free for 2 months :-) Speaking of carving friends I have met so many this year. from folks on line to the fine people at my carving club. Mid America Wood Carvers in Omaha. So many people have helped me out and woodcarvers are just that way. It's a fine hobby and I am glad to be associated with it. A special thanks to all of you on this list for your encouragement as well. In 2009 I just want to continue to carve and continue to improve. Practice, practice and more practice. Good luck to everyone with their carving this year. I plan to do my first show in October of this year as well.

Living here in Thailand over half time now, I have been unsuccessful in finding other wood carvers. There are many very fine professional carvers here in Thailand that turn out amazing work. However, all the carvers I have met live and work in rural villages. They are carving for a lively hood and do not speak english. It is hard to believe how few tools they have and turn out their amazing carvings. Power equipment we are so used to does not exist with these carvers. (The exceptions might be a electric drill and a homemade single wheel grinder made from a salvaged old motor.) As a result it is obvious that the Thai carvers are not interested in any part of a Carving Group/Club as we are accustomed to in the states. They learn to carve mostly via what we would call an apprentice program so they are not available for teaching. The Thai's are very friendly, and are happy to visit to the extent possible with the language barrier. I am also having difficulty finding wood similar to Basswood, Butternut or Chestnut. They carve mostly in very, very, hard Teak and Cassia wood, which when I even think about carving in either again, my elbow starts to hurt. lol Any contacts, referrals or suggestions from any of you will be greatly appreciated. You can reply via this site or you may write me directly at my email address below.

Message-ID: <81E3CF9E-CCD8-4B99-B2C6-C119208D5B31@sasktel.net> Gentle Carvers: My resolution is rather short term.... I want to finish building my new tilting/rotating carving bench, and then I have to find a real job. I started the carving bench as a Christmas shop project, and designed it myself from the ground up. My aim was to build a table that others could replicate, without and exotic hardware or tools. It's almost done. Pictures to follow. Might even publish the plans. About the new job... I have not had any commissions since June 2008... and have been relying solely on carving class income since September. I'm not ready to retire. This means I need a part time job to pay the bills, unless some fresh commissions reach me before then. I've been carving full time since 1982, and this is the year that it might come to an end. Pray for me, please, as the Spirit leads you. Bill "See if you can count your blessings..." My books are for sale at: http://www.wwwoodcarver.com/Home/CD_Books.html W.F.

Good thread Joe! 2008 was a bad year for many but a great year for me! I discovered carving last February. I don't think I have enjoyed as any hobby I have enjoyed carving. I started out with a couple knives and now have a chest full of tools thanks to Larry :-) Lots of carving books. It didn't take me long to discover that carving is a blood sport :-) Even earned a purple carving heart from my friend Will Hayden. But I got my head together and take the needed precautions now and have been cut free for 2 months :-) Speaking of carving friends I have met so many this year. from folks on line to the fine people at my carving club. Mid America Wood Carvers in Omaha. So many people have helped me out and woodcarvers are just that way. It's a fine hobby and I am glad to be associated with it. A special thanks to all of you on this list for your encouragement as well. In 2009 I just want to continue to carve and continue to improve. Practice, practice and more practice. Good luck to everyone with their carving this year. I plan to do my first show in October of this year as well.

Friends in Carving: Please support our List - visit the Carvers' Campanion Shop at http://cafepress.com/woodcarving ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gentle Carvers: My resolution is rather short term.... I want to finish building my new tilting/rotating carving bench, and then I have to find a real job. I started the carving bench as a Christmas shop project, and designed it myself from the ground up. My aim was to build a table that others could replicate, without and exotic hardware or tools. It's almost done. Pictures to follow. Might even publish the plans. About the new job... I have not had any commissions since June 2008... and have been relying solely on carving class income since September. I'm not ready to retire. This means I need a part time job to pay the bills, unless some fresh commissions reach me before then. I've been carving full time since 1982, and this is the year that it might come to an end. Pray for me, please, as the Spirit leads you. Bill "See if you can count your blessings..." My books are for sale at: http://www.wwwoodcarver.com/Home/CD_Books.html W.F.
