[Woodcarver] Inexpensive tools

[Megargee at aol.com]

Last year my wife and I took a 52 day freighter voyage  from LA to Australia, 
New Zealand, Hawaii, Vancouver and back to LA. With  that long a trip, space 
was at a premium. Even though it is probably not  politically correct, I took 
a couple of X-Acto handles and a bunch of various  blades which I discarded 
when they got dull (inexpensive tools) plus a Carvin'  Jack (expensive tool). 
The tools all fit in my carving glove along with  a  thumb guard, and small 
wooden Flexcut stropper. I managed to  complete two or three love spoons (from 
blanks), several balls-in-cages,  and an eight pointed star. Not fancy, but it 
kept me entertained, there not  being much else to do except read on a frei
ghter.
