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 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) ******* If you are using Windows XP, You will probably have to disable the XP firewall to connect. If you need help doing this, please email me off list for instructions. See you there! E-mail me off the list for additional information and instructions.

They were so excited about their new hobby - as were the parents! - so they have rounded up two more beginner classes for me as well as last years group wanting to come back again. Have projects picked out for the beginners using just a knife. The "advanced" beginner class was wondering about adding another tool. Guess I'd suggest two - a gouge and a v-tool - but I know that cost is a factor. These kids are 9 to 14 years old. My questions: Do any of you have patterns simple enough for this age group that you're willing to share? (Saw Marcia Berkall's article in Carving Mag. and thought the pretzel and the snowman were good projects) Would you add another tool at this point or just stick to the knife? What additional tool would you add? Thanks for any help you can give. These kids are so excited and I'm please to be assisting in adding to the "new generation" of carvers.

DO NOT wear a tie and keep your sleeves rolled up to the elbow. The lathe is generally a fairly safe machine to run but it will grab anything flexible and loose and wrap it around the spindle being turned ! ! ! Start at slow speed initially until the work piece is round. Then increase the speed. Keep your gouges sharp the same way you keep your carving gouges sharp. Keep the tool rest close to the work or the tool will grab. Have your friend get you started and you'll be OK.

Join in on the fun!!! 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!!!

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.

Another fun thing to do with the kids is to teach them to carve a face in a sweet potato. It carves easily and still takes some details. Besides when you finish if you don't like it, you can wash it and bake it. This lets them learn the fundamentals of the face while not worrying about the grain direction. Guess they probably wouldn't let you do that in school either??? Have you tried organizing an after school activity? Our school used to have clubs meeting after school and we got to do things that you couldn't do with 30 in a class. Sandie -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I found Ivory to be the best for an intro because it is soft and can be repaired by wetting the breakoff and attaching it and letting it dry. For the first try I used my beagle as a model and had them carve it sitting so that it had no thin parts to discourage them. After that we used harder soaps and more difficult poses. We carved inside a three-sided box to cut down on flying chips. Ivory soap also washes off easily...both hands and clothes and contins no irritants. We used both popsicle sticks and plastic knives. I filed the sharp points off the edges so that there were no lines. We used them with the cutting edges for hair only. Their pride at the finished product knew no bounds. Some of them even preserved them but I can't remember what they used on them.

The first day I did wood carving demos, took questions, etc. The last 2 days were hands on soap carving. They carved a lion, the school mascot. Some of the tools I have found that work great with soap...Ivory soap...are: ... Bamboo skewers cut to aboout 5" with one end cut at an angle and the other to a point ... Plastic knives. An assortment of different sizes/brands. The different serrations give different textures. ... Paper clips. I used 2 different sizes. When they are opened up, each has 2 different size "U" shapes that can be used as gouges. The flat sides are great for smoothing/ The kids had a blast, especially the cleaning up part :) Some well places tarps and some bins for the shavings worked well. I was afraid these teen-age kids would feel that this was beneath them, but they all had a blast. One student even stopped and bought a bar of Ivory soap on his way home one afternoon and carved a wizard. How cool is that!! Enjoy!!

Frumer mfrumer at yahoo.com ****************************************************** Hi Michael, White oak stands up good to weather where red oak does not. Red oak may work with paint but white oak will outlast red oak by 2 to 1. I would incise the letters into the wood rather then raise the letters out of the wood. It gives the letter a deeper shadow and is more durable. Because of the deeper shadow I would paint the letters darker then the background. I would use white oak, paint the letters a dark brown and leave the background natural white, protecting it with several coats of exterior grade polyurethane. I use either a V-tool and mallet to cut the letters into oak or a RotoZip with a lettering bit (router bit that comes to a point at either 45 or 60 degree with a 1/4 inch shank). Try the RotoZip on some scrap oak and you'll find how easy it is to carve using the lettering bit. If necessary I use the chisels to clean up the letters after the RotoZip. To paint the letters I first varnish the whole sign with clear sealer. Then I slop several coats of paint into the letters with a brush not worrying about how much is on top. After the paint dries I belt sand the top of the sign cleaning up all the letters. Then I put several finish coats of varnish over the whole sign. Instead of varnish you would use paint being careful not to get it into the letters. Using this method I can make a sign, the size you're talking about, in just a few hours.

You can choose any font style and set the size to match what you need. These letters can then be traced onto the sign board. Then do what Joe says.

Then when we were done we could take it to the Life Skills kitchen and make a sweet potato pie! :) I might try those next year! They might like it and school would be ok with it and I have paring knives in my kitchen so I wouldn't have to come up with extra cash. The allergies and equipment cost was probably the worst. I did try "stone" carving using plaster of paris and pearlite (I think). When the head custodian found out he was all over my room asking questions - It was crazy! But saftey is saftey I guess. But several ideas shall be tried again. The kids do like it and I like the idea of less mess. On a different note.... I'm glad to hear you 2 will be in Evart! Several won't be able to come this year sadly. It's nice that you can. So we'll see you there! Merrilee See you soon in Evart????? Another fun thing to do with the kids is to teach them to carve a face in a sweet potato. It carves easily and still takes some details. Besides when you finish if you don't like it, you can wash it and bake it. This lets them learn the fundamentals of the face while not worrying about the grain direction.

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) ******* See you there! E-mail me off the list for additional information and instructions.

As many of you may know, Terry was proud to have been a Master Sergeant in the US Marine Corps (1961-1981.) Terry was a member of the very first W3E Secret Pal exchange, and the raccoon carving that he sent me sits proudly on a shelf in my shop.

I knew Terry only from the woodcarvers list and from some emails we had traded some time ago. I think he was a good man and a dedicated carver. He will be missed by many and his legacy will stand the test of time. When I went to the GPO site the first picture was of a friend of mine who has also passed away. We first met in Evart during the second year of the Woodcarvers Roundup. My wife and I camped beside him that year. I remember that he was in a tent and we were sleeping in the back of my Suburban on an air mattress that kept leaking air. It was miserable, it was raining and it was COLD. But this guy beside us was really helpful to us and his name was Bob Gallandt. Since then Bob and I had become friends- he had taken several classes from me in Evart and Cadillac. He was always reminding me of safety issues with carving. Bob has passed on, but I think of him often especially when I look at his fish decoys in my carvings collection. We traded decoys for three years. Bob made my stay in Evart tolerable as did others there including Bob and Sandy Holder, Jim and Virginia Huffman, and Ed and Margaret Joslin. Ed and his wife offered Winnie and me housing for a few days. I miss Bob who passed away a couple of years ago after his heroic struggle with cancer as I will miss Jim Huffman who died this winter. Friends like these have helped me so much in my development as a carver and as an instructor of carving that I can only hope to pass on their legacy by encouraging others to try this wonderful and creative endeavor and to tell their stories whenever I can. I hope to retire after next school year and be able to devote myself even more to traveling and teaching carving classes and to attend as many caving seminars as I can. I look forward to coming to the GOW in Illinois and the Chipping Away program as well. God be with all those who have passed on and also with those of us who cherish their memories and try to pass on their legacies.

I too have several of Bob's spear fish decoys in my collection. One was from a W3E Secret Pal exchange and the other a swap for a proof-of-concept carving of fish wrapped around a cane segment. I could never get Bob into a friendship cane exchange because he said all he carved well was fish, so I had to prove to him that you could carve fish on a 2x2x3" cane segment! ;-) I can certainly see Bob talking about safety issues, as he was an industrial safety officer for Bear Archery (if I recall correctly.)

From ron at carvedbyramsey.com Fri May 16 16:46:01 2008 From: ron at carvedbyramsey.com (Ramsey) Date: Fri, 16 May 2008 13:46:01 -0700 Subject: [Woodcarver] Carving letters in oak boards Message-ID: Carving letters with a router is not difficult if you use the right bit and have your router set up for it. The trick is to use a tapered spiral bit with a small tip. This allows for more control. A flat bottom bit wants to go all over the place. Use it only for wasting excess wood. The bit is available as a tapered end mill from Travers Tool Co. I use the 5% taper with a 3/32 tip. (This is the bit Ray Kinman used to sell) I also use a fixed base router because of the low center of gravity makes it easier to control. I cut out the front of the router base for better visibility and replace the plastic bottom surface with Teflon for smoother action. A router has two handles and the Roto-Zip doesn't. It's also underpowered for cutting letters in oak. On routed in letters, travel in a counter clockwise direction. On raised letters travel in a clockwise direction. Practice first on a scrap. If you have a hard time following the line exactly, route a 1/6" inch or so away from the line and trim the excess with a skew. -- Ron Ramsey http://www.carvedbyramsey.com Be sure to look at the incredible nature inspired art jewelry hand fabricated by my wife, Karen Olsen Ramsey.

I had the pleasure of meeting Terry and Annette a few years ago when they were vacationing in Maine. Wonderful people, and Terry will truly be missed. I also got to meet Bob Gallandt and Harry Stewart at our Jackstock get-togethers. I never got to meet Dick Cater, but all of these people were at one time regular members of our woodcarver chat group. We have lost some great people. In an effort to help in the healing process, I thought it would be nice to have a "place" for people who are so inclined to get together to reminisce, share stories and memories of those we have lost. It seemed that our woodcarver chat room would be the perfect place. For anyone so inclined, the room will be open and I have set up a web page with instructions for getting there. http://artwebmaine.com/woodcarverchat.html If you would like to set a specific time, that is fine. If you would like to just drop in to see if anyone is there, that is ok, too. Our thoughts go out to Annette and the rest of Terry's family.

You had a old time Santa on the corner point. She was only in 5th grade I think. Bob and his saftey issues! :) She didn't have a glove and he said - GET a glove on her. After that she drew blood. He was so helpful cleaning it up, encouraging her and keeping me from fainting! What a guy! A heart as big as.... well BIG! Jim Huffman was another one that was so giving and helpful to everyone and making them feel as if they could do anything. Both will always be in my prayers and memories!! Merrilee~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I went to the GPO site the first picture was of a friend of mine who has also passed away. We first met in Evart during the second year of the Woodcarvers Roundup. My wife and I camped beside him that year. I remember that he was in a tent and we were sleeping in the back of my Suburban on an air mattress that kept leaking air. It was miserable, it was raining and it was COLD. But this guy beside us was really helpful to us and his name was Bob Gallandt. Since then Bob and I had become friends- he had taken several classes from me in Evart and Cadillac. He was always reminding me of safety issues with carving. Bob has passed on, but I think of him often especially when I look at his fish decoys in my carvings collection. We traded decoys for three years. Bob made my stay in Evart tolerable as did others there including Bob and Sandy Holder, Jim and Virginia Huffman, and Ed and Margaret Joslin. Ed and his wife offered Winnie and me housing for a few days. I miss Bob who passed away a couple of years ago after his heroic struggle with cancer as I will miss Jim Huffman who died this winter. Friends like these have helped me so much in my development as a carver and as an instructor of carving that I can only hope to pass on their legacy by encouraging others to try this wonderful and creative endeavor and to tell their stories whenever I can. I hope to retire after next school year and be able to devote myself even more to traveling and teaching carving classes and to attend as many caving seminars as I can. I look forward to coming to the GOW in Illinois and the Chipping Away program as well. God be with all those who have passed on and also with those of us who cherish their memories and try to pass on their legacies.

My shop opens into the office of the storefront that will be the museum. When I build the building I planned it so I could use adjoining storefronts in the future. I'm using the smaller store for the museum, only about 800 square feet. The larger one, about 1000 square feet, I've had a beauty shop in there for 8 years. If they ever decide to move, and if I can afford it, I will expand the museum into that area too. Currently my shop is the overflow, studio and classroom area for the museum. Sharon will have fun setting it up and finding stuff for display. Joe Dillett The Carving Shop 645 E.

I think you'lls museum is a wonderful thing to do. Vickie in Chicago ********************************************** Hi Vickie, Are you keeping those tools sharp? Feel free to bring them back to my shop for sharpening. Thanks for your encouraging words about the museum. My wife Sharon has a real eye for art and how to display it. She will be the Museum Director deciding what goes in, how it will be displayed and event planning. I will be the business manager providing her with the framework to use her talent. One thing we have to insure is what happened to another carving museum doesn't happen with us. I don't know all the details but heard they swindled the carving community out of almost $1/4 million. Here are some thoughts we are working on. We are working with our attorney in how to protect everyone involved. One suggestion that Big Dog had, for donated items, was to have it set up to pass those items to another museum after we are gone or if the museum closes. I feel it important to get that in writing to the donor so they are assured the item will be passed to another museum if and when ours closes. We will also be adding to our personal collection by purchasing items for display and/or as an investment that may be re-sold in the future. On purchased items the seller knows that we may or may not re-sell the item. We will also have some selected items on consignment of which we will take about 10 to 20% commission where other museums typically take 40 to 50% commission. Items on loan will typically be items by one artist, such as for a one-man show that would last a month or two. Loaned items may also come from another museum or individuals for short periods of time for special shows. Loaned items, other then an artist one-man show where they are here, are a very special case used rarely because of the liability. There is a lot to think about. We hope to bring awareness that woodcarving can be elevated to a fine-art-form and not just a craft. We hope to do this by displaying other art forms but keep the focus on the fine art of carving. We plan to be open every day except Sunday but don't expect more then a dozen people all week. Our advertised show openings, special shows, classes and evening events is where we expect most of our traffic. Included in the museum is our educational area. The center focus of this educational area is my old workbench (almost 200 years old). There will also be examples of different wood and different types of carving. This is where I will be doing carving demonstrations. Back in my shop area is where we'll have classes and activities for groups from the local schools. The museum will have very little income. We don't expect it to meet our expenses but we should be fine as long as we keep our costs low. That is why we are going slow as money becomes available. I think that it will take about a year to open. We hope to have a nice museum display and be open by GOW 2009, (September 21-26, 2009). Joe Dillett The Carving Shop 645 E.

Wrap your brain around this one. It's a 24-point star, created by Glen Kiekintveld. http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2687345710054204302HiPxLf This began with someone wanting to know how to do an 8-point star. Glen came to the rescue, but he didn't stop there. He's still adding points. For those of you going to the Woodcarvers Roundup in Evart, MI June 11-14 you'll probably find Glen in the OJ North building (his usual spot unless there's a change). Glen's forte is chip carved canes/ walking sticks. I don't know if he'll be teaching the star but I'm sure he'd be willing to talk about it & show you how. In the meantime, see if you can figure it out. (smiling) See ya in Evart. Sally http://www.FanCarversWorld.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Last year it was a wonderful clown carving from Ol' Don - this year the carving was a great little whimsical house carving by Sandie Burgdorf. I got to hold it for all of about five seconds before the lovely Catherine scooped it out of my hand. The last time I saw the caving it was headed into her purse. I've been after Sandie to participate in the Secret Pal exchange for a long time, so it was a delight to receive her first carving in her first exchange. Truth be told, we didn't drive all that distance only for Sandie's carving. Figured we'd get a little dancing in while we were down that way. So after lunch at a local watering hole, we turned the car around and headed back to Nashville, where we spend the next four days at a swing dance event hosted by the Music City Bop Club. Boy, those Nashville folks know how to party! Thanks Sandie for a great carving and an all too short visit with you and Ol' Don. Carve On! (and Dance On!)

I find it interesting to read the posts from names I don't remember seeing before but then my memory isn't the best. If all of those old members and a whole bunch of new members are all out there lurking and waiting for someone else to throw out a carving gem wouldn't it be grand if they decided it was their day to throw out the carving gem? I think activity has been slow...at least the posts that make it to my inbox so it would be great to hear from oldies and newbies alike.

The "virtual Porch" was a carving project that many of the early member of Bill's list participated. If was displayed in several place around the country by the participants. After the last showing in Salem, Oregon, Cliff Page transported the project to Canada and presented it to BIll.

The Virtual Porch was definitely a special project. I distinctly remember how the whole thing started.... There was a conversation that involved several people about how great the list was and how it felt like a bunch of friends sitting around on a porch carving. Someone said, "Let's call it the Virtual Porch"...and I believe it was John Jellies who said, "Hey, Let's CARVE the Virtual Porch". It was then decided that it would travel to some shows for a while then find its permanent home with Bill Judt as a thank-you for all the work he did for us and the list. The spirit of the "Porch" was amazing. I was one of the lucky ones to have it here for our annual Downeast Show. The carvings came from all over and were all just wonderful!!! Everyone did put a lot of thought into their little "self portraits". The keyboard and computer-shaped porch were awesome!. The problem became one of logistics...crate, shipping. It was too big for UPS so it had to be trucked, which can be costly, or moved from place to place by individuals across the country. I'm glad I had a van at the time! Mike Parker came to Maine for our show and brought the "Porch" back to Virginia with him. It somehow found its way back to Oregon and as Byron said earlier, Cliff and Avril Page delivered it to Bill Judt. It's hard to believe that was in 1999...LONG time ago. I don't remember when I joined the List...but I do remember there was a lot of excitement when membership reached 150...so, although I wasn't in the first 100 that I know of, I did join pretty early on.

For anyone interested in learning a new skill in carving or to developing their present skills, this is a great opportunity. There are typically 50 or more instructors there volunteering their time to teach carving in all its facets. The web site WoodcarversRouindup.com should get you more information. The only cost for instruction is the cost of blanks and there are some of the best instructors in the country offering their talents. In mid July I'll be teaching a class on rainbow trout fish decoys in Harrisburg PA and would welcome any list members to contact me or the Woodcraft Store about attending the class. A fortnight later is the Northeast Woodcarvers Roundup in Honesdale, PA. Honesdale is located near Scranton, in the northeast corner of Pennsylvania. There are twenty five or so instructors lined up for this seminar program which is also free except for the cost of blanks. The roundup, modelled on the Evart one, is smaller than Evart but just as spirited and friendly. George and Ann Reinfried and I coordinate this program. I would be happy to forward any requests for information to George and Ann, the real workers. Over Labor Day weekend I'm travelling to Chincoteague Virginia to exhibit my carvings at a show in one of the hotbeds of bird carving on the East Coast. I've never attended this show, but I am really looking forward to going. One of my carving friends is Bob Hudson, grandson to Ira Hudson, one of the masters of decoy carving who lived in Chincoteague. Finally in October the Mystic (CN) woodcarvers sponsor a seminar in Rhode Island at a campus of the University of Rhode Island. There will;l be about ten instructors , and though there is a charge for the seminar, this charge carvers housing and food for the weekend, The program is conducted each Columbus day weekend. Again contact me for info on this program if you are interested in this or any other of the programs I've listed. Happy carving to all and I hope to meet up with some of you this summer in my travels. Jack Miller Please visit my new Picturetrail album at http://www.picturetrail.com/carvingjack.
