My friend thought they would try to save some for fan birds. Several of us have your book and they started reading it again before i got back to the emails for them! Smart people! Merrilee ~~~~~~~~~~~~Merrilee, the sooner you can get the log bucked-up the better (especially this time of year). You can run a hose on the log to keep it moist and also keep it in the shade. That will buy you some time. Get the blanks from the rounds, place them in a pot of water & simmer about 1-2 hrs. Then you can store them in plastic bags in the freezer. _________________________________________________________________ Do more with your photos with Windows Live Photo Gallery. http://www.windowslive.com/share.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_Wave2_photos_022008 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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!

On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks out of her classroom. When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks. Looking around, confused, they asked, 'Ms. Cothr en, where're our desks?' She replied, 'You can't have a desk until you tell me what you have done to earn the right to sit at a desk.' They thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades.' 'No,' she said. 'Maybe it's our behavior.' She told them, 'No, it's not even your behavior.' And so, they came and went, the first period, second period, third period. Still no desks in the classroom. By early afternoon television news crews had started gathering in Ms. Cothren's classroom to report about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of her room. The final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the deskless classroom, Martha Cothren said, 'Throughout the day no one has been able to tell me just what he/she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom. Now I am going to tell you.' At this point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it. Twenty-seven (27) U.S. Veterans, all in uniforms, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk.. The Vets began placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall. By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned. Martha said, 'You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks. These heroes did it for you. They placed the desks here for you. Now, it's up to you to sit in them. It is your responsibility to learn, to be good students, to be good citizens. They paid the price so that you could have the freedom to get an education. Don't ever forget it.' By the way, this is a true story. If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you read it in English, thank a soldier. Yes, it really is a true story.

On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks out of her classroom. When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks. Looking around, confused, they asked, 'Ms. Cothr en, where're our desks?' She replied, 'You can't have a desk until you tell me what you have done to earn the right to sit at a desk.' They thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades.' 'No,' she said. 'Maybe it's our behavior.' She told them, 'No, it's not even your behavior.' And so, they came and went, the first period, second period, third period. Still no desks in the classroom. By early afternoon television news crews had started gathering in Ms. Cothren's classroom to report about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of her room. The final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the deskless classroom, Martha Cothren said, 'Throughout the day no one has been able to tell me just what he/she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom. Now I am going to tell you.' At this point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it. Twenty-seven (27) U.S. Veterans, all in uniforms, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk.. The Vets began placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall. By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned. Martha said, 'You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks. These heroes did it for you. They placed the desks here for you. Now, it's up to you to sit in them. It is your responsibility to learn, to be good students, to be good citizens. They paid the price so that you could have the freedom to get an education. Don't ever forget it.' By the way, this is a true story. If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you read it in English, thank a soldier. Yes, it really is a true story.

Social Studies Classroom Desks In-Reply-To: <004401c8dd0e$df807ec0$a305140a@Joe> Message-ID: VERY, VERY, VERY OFF TOPIC !!!!!! I considered for quite a while as to whether I would reply to the story about the Social Studies teacher and her removing the desks from her room ... I thought ... and have made my decision ... I was very disturbed by that story on several levels. As US citizens we do not 'enjoy the privilege' of an education. Education in the US is a mandatory requirement by both the States and Federal government that is made on any and all citizens up to the age of 18 (this varies some between states) if that citizen is capable both physically and mentally to learn. Our mandatory education system was created by law, governed by law and non-compliance can be punished by law. The term mandatory means that it is ordered by a higher authority, obligatory and demanded. Therefore each and every able bodied citizen must attend an educational system so therefore education can not be a privilege. A privilege is something that is given to a very few above and beyond what the commoner could obtain. A privilege can be awarded because of above average achievement, above average social status or above average financial status. Something can not be a privilege when it is given to everyone within the larger group. You can not 'earn' a mandatory requirement ... you fulfill it ... you complete it ... but you simply can not earn it! Nor can anyone else fulfill your citizen's requirement or earn it for you. To earn something is to have completed an action that is rewarded by another action, an item or financial compensation. With our mandatory educational system there is no action or prior requirement that must be met that is then rewarded with the action of education. So when the Social Studies teacher asked the question, "What have you done to earn the right (privilege) to a desk (education)?" she set her students up for a double failure. She posed her question under two false assumptions ... that an education is a privilege and that privilege that must/can be earned. She further compounded her error by stating that the Veteran's had earned the desks (education) for the students. This also is false. The Veteran's protected, with their own lives and with their energies and with their soul, the citizens and t he laws of our government. The Veteran's protected the laws of the US government that require of her citizens that they acquire an education! Now before any one screams that I am not patriotic ... whoa! Those Veteran's did their job wonderfully, well and with courage in protecting our nation, our laws and our citizens. What I am against is a Social Studies teacher asking false, unanswerable questions based on false assumption and therefore teaching a thrice false lesson.

Not that it is an inappropriate topic at a time when our nations are at war, but that there are better places to carry on the discussion than on the Woodcarver Mailing List. Sorry to be slow in "moderating". My wife and I just came back from a five day road trip to Jasper Alberta, in the Canadian Rockies. We saw a lot of chainsaw carving, BTW, some of it very well done, though I do not know who the carvers were. I will be at the lake for most of the summer, and will have access to the internet via a dial-up connection. In Saskatchewan they use barb- wire fences the carry the signal, and each time cows brush up against the fences, the signal degrades substantially... even worse if it's raining and the cattle are wet. But I will check the list twice daily, to keep you folks in line Blessings and Peace, Bill Bill Judt 46 Harvard Crescent, Saskatoon, SK, Canada S7H3R1 bjudt at sasktel.net On 8-Jul-08, at 11:47 AM, Byron wrote: Gentle Subscribers :-) Please support our List with a donation: http://wwwoodcarver.com/WWWList/WWWList.html Aye, Aye, Mr Moderator -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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.

I have had much better success with my tools since I started sharpening by using his method of hand sharpening. I got the recommendation for this video from this list, and I was so impressed, I showed it to my carving club, many of whom are long experienced carvers, (unlike myself) and most of them found some useful things in there that they had not tried before. If any of you are interested, you can get this video from Ellenwoodarts.com. He helped me tremendously. I'm sorry I don't know anything to help you or advise you about using grinders or any other kind of machine sharpening system.

It will do the job. BUT... keep in mind that Ev's way is not the only way. I'll bet every experienced carver (def: one who has consistently sharp tools :-) has a slightly different method, and each achieves the perfect angle and razor sharp edges. It's just that Ev has been able to explain his method on video in a way that is easy to follow and makes sense to the most carvers. It amazes me how he managed to do that. The only way I can teach my students how to sharpen is by hands-on and one-to-one. Kudo's to Ev!!!

Message-ID: <006901c8e398$dee62ce0$b005140a@Joe> Hi Fellow Carvers, The Woodcarving Class for the Disabled Veterans is still on for the week of August 3, in spite of more bad news. Another disabled veteran committed suicide. I had no idea what an epidemic suicide is with our veterans. I'm told that Sunday night 9PM CDT on HBO there is a special that will give us some idea of what our most recent veterans have gone through. I don't have HBO but maybe some of you do. I'm told that the famous picture of the medic holding a baby when we first went into Iraq, that medic committed suicide about a month ago. Prayers are needed for an end to this war and healing to all who were involved. I'm sorry to bring you such sad news. A meeting is scheduled for July 26 to make sure the class is still on and arrange the final details. I hope that all goes well and Sharon and I will be flying to Camp Pendleton on Sunday August 2. I'm not sure but I think we have 6 students and hoping to get a few more. Again, thanks to all of you who have donated tools and supplies to these disabled veterans. You've made this class possible.

I replaced my Timber Wolf (Suffolk) blade with the WoodSlicer and I love it. Smooth cuts with little sanding needed after the cut. I use it to resaw basswood for my chip carving and other projects. You pay a bit more but I think it is worth the extra money. Of course you can do other types of cutting but this blade shines for resawing. ? I hope this helps.

Generally speaking, deep relief and high relief are the same. (A person might use deep relief to describe carving down into the material, like wood or stone; high relief might be used to describe a sculpture that is built up, as with clay. Most authorities seem to classify relief in three categories: 1. Bas relief (or low relief), 2. Mezzo relief, (or middle relief), and 3. Alto relief (or high relief). Bas relief is like that you see on coins, with the figure just above the surface. In mezzo relief roughly half the figure rises above the background. Alto relief is where a figure, or some of it, is fully away from the background. There are lots of "tweener" definitions--related to undercutting and other matters, but the three categories above are pretty standard in the discussion of relief sculpture, whether in wood, bronze or stone.

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!

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!

The article on canes for vets in the current Chip Chats shows them all as painted. I know it is traditional in the US to paint carvings but walking sticks are dropped very regularly so will they not finish up very chipped and not look the best. There must be some nice woods in US that don't need painting. Over the years I have carved dozens of sticks all for people who need them. The most common request is for a stick that do not stand out and attrack attention. They enjoy having a nice carved one but not if it is causes people to look at it. Again a nice dark wood would suit better than a brightly painted one. That has been my experience.

These Vets treasure the canes and do everything they can to avoid damage. Many aren't even used except for special occasions. Many are will only be needed for short amount of time until the Vets recover from their wounds. Also there are some with natural wood handles. To a US Vet the eagle with bright white head is a very special symbol. Therefore there's more than a strictly utilitarian purpose to those canes. In the internet world theirs often a name for people that try to stir up "discussions" by criticizing, and making unkind statements. We know them as "Trolls". Enjoy your discussion including flames.

James Tipton of the Chattahoochee Wood Carvers is the state representative to the project. The issue has been the confidentiality laws, which I totally understand. Jack Nitz has been able to work around that and has been pretty good at providing names of Veterans for the canes. Here in Maine, we have been able to work with the assistant director at Togus VA hospital. He is referring people to us...that way we don't violate confidentiality at all. We are lucky that he is very much in favor of the project, and is a wannabee carver, to boot! It seems that what we need to do is get the word out about the project and have veterans come to us. Once they know about it, there will be a lot of people wanting them, I'm sure. I was just talking with someone here who is active in either American Legion or VFW....I can't remember which. She is going to get the word our for us too. Good luck. Marcia (aka Mush) > Hey Joe, >A group of carvers of Cobb County GA have carved several canes for >the Vets.

The names of those who were killed is easier to find, but the address's are still a problem. I send a letter out offering the Memorial Cane and wait for a reply.

Tell me Joe, when and where is the next show to take place? Thank you. Vickie ***************************************** Hi Vickie, I'm happy to hear things are better with you. This week I have been working a show at the DuPage County Fair. The North Suburban Carvers have a large booth and I have 5 carvers showing with me on the stage in the large commercial building. Today (Saturday) is my last day there because I'm busy on Sunday with family, community and church activities. There will be 4 carvers on stage Sunday. GOW 2008 is the week of September 15. We outgrew my shop so we're having it at the Sandwich Fair grounds 2 miles from my shop. You can get all the information about classes, camping and activates at Camper John Compton web site. http://www.camperjohn.com/GOWmain.html Make sure you view the GOW 2008 link for the new information. Then look at the pics of the last GOW's. It will bring back wonderful memories. Bob Mau says that some classes are full and others are filling up. Camper John is trying to keep the web site up to date as they fill. I suggest if there is a class you would like to take get your reservations in. The instructions of who to contact for camping, classes and costs are in the web site. The way things are going I'm guessing that we'll have between 150 to 200 students this year. The GOW has been growing about 10% per year. This will be our 8th gathering. Joe Dillett The Carving Shop 645 E.

If I hear of any alternatives, I will let you know. Good luck. It's such a great project, it doesn't seem right that it is so hard to give these away!

We knew we were going to be without some, like Pat O'Dea and Tony Erikson, but then there were a slew of last minute cancellations like yours, Pete LeClair, and a couple others from our MVAWA club. Thankfully we got good news on your Mom, and Tony (we heard he was mowing his lawn, but just isn't cleared by the Doc for travel), and Pete LeClair, but several others are in need of our Prayers. Nick's coronation was a hoot. For those who have not been to the NEWR, it's a NEWR "thing", but our chip carving instructor, Koz, has always complained (humorously) about the building #2 carving instructors having a lower status than the building #1 instructors. This year he was "elevated" to building #1 status. Jack Miller, George & Ann Reinfried, and George Bayshore had his coronation all cooked up before Harold and I got there, but we definitely contributed. Cherry Ridge donated a copper crown, I stitched together a cape from two purple Dollar Store towels, and the instructors formed two lines facing each other and made an arch for him to walk through by raising our knives/gouges and crossing them with the instructor facing us. Oh, and his scepter was a broom. which foreshadowed his new duties in Building #1. Like I said, John Gritschi has it on MPEG, so that will be on the CD I'm burning for you (right now in fact. send me your snail-mail addr privately). Yes, "there is always NEXT YEAR!!!!", but I think we're all gonna need signs. "Will Carve for Gas". My sign, "Will Play N.A. Flute for Gas" just doesn't work for me. Hmmmm. maybe, "Will STOP Play N.A. Flute for Gas" .

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've brought all kinds of 'show and tell' and plan to make it an intro to all kinds of carving. There will be plenty of time for questions and answers though for those of you who are more experienced and have tougher questions. http://www.woodcraft.com/stores/store.aspx?id=559&nav=classes Did I mention that it is FREE! PS- I have brought a bunch of boxes too, most of them carved, and they will have books for me to sign,if you are interested.

I am going to attempt your Wine Spirit Topper project from Carving Magazine. But I don't see anywhere where it tells me the size of the piece of basswood I am to use. So Lynn if your listening could you please forward the dimensions of the wood for your project, as my wife( a huge wine lover) wants me to carve a few of these for her wine bottles. Thanks so much, Talk to you folks really soon Chris Huggins Collingwood, Canada -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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!
