[Woodcarver] Placing tools on the bench

[Ivan Whillock]

Ivan, what is the "proper" way you were taught (by Eduardo) to place tools on the bench? 
Sally

1.  Put out only the tools you're using for the job so you don't have a lot of tools in front of you to search through to find the tool you want.

2.  Lay them on the bench with the blades facing you so that you can quickly identify them.

3.  Avoid the "pick up sticks" technique whereby the tools are scattered around and/or randomly set down with the blades facing every which way.

4. One can often identify a "trained" carver simply by the way the tools are set on the bench.
