Hi Ed.  I was again impressed by your carving prowess - you do such a good 
job.  All of the pieces in your 2008 album were great but I especially liked 
the fleur de lis on the armoire.  Is there a particular reason why you chose 
that decoration for the armoire?  Also, since there does not appear to be an 
"A"I in your name, I am also wondering about the "A" carved on the top front 
of it.  If it is not too personal I would like a bit of insite into your 
creation of the design for it.

Hi Alex;

         The Fleur-de-Lis reflects our Canadian heritage.  My dad was 
born in Canada and I try to maintain an awareness of this heritage
in my family.   The A is for my grand-daughter Alexandra for whom I 
buitl the Armoire.  Thanks for showing interest.


Ed

Thanks Ed.  My wife especially likes the fleur de lis design and it is found 
in many places around our house.  I know it has many noble connotations and 
was curious as to how it was significant to you.  And would you believe it - 
I also have a granddaughter named Alexandra!
ALEX

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!!!  Just click on one of the links

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.

I've been getting ready for the GOW which startes on Monday. It will be different not having it here at my shop. It's growing larger every year. This year we have 17 awesome instructors plus myself. There's a lot of stuff I have to take to the Sandwich Fair Grounds, where we moved the GOW. We still have room for more. Come and join us. You do not have to sign up early, just come, register and jump into a class. Check it out at http://www.camperjohn.com/GOW08_main.html .

Last week was the Sandwich Fair. My apprentices and I had a large display booth where we demonstrated from Wednesday through Sunday. I began working on a large relief (24 X 60) of the Last Supper. It is all one piece of mahogany that was lumbered out by hand with a chain saw about 20 years ago. The fellow who lumbered it out was very skilled. The thickness ranged only from 2-1/4 to 1-3/4 over the entire 76-inch length. A missionary brought it back from Guatemala and gave it to me about 5 years ago. It had only a slight bow before I began. Carving the background from the heart side, to about a 1-inch depth, has removed all the bow. I plan to keep the chainsaw marks on the back to preserve the history of the board.

Normally my Last Supper scenes include the backdrop of the upper room. On this one the figures are raised from the background about 1 inch and I plan to carve faces of modern-day saints and modern-day people in shallow relief throughout the entire background.

Joe-
That sounds like a wonderful project. It would be great to see it as you are working on it. Have you thought about making a blog so we could watch how it develops? If not, at least a page where we can see updates every so often? That would be a great learning experience for us.

What a great project, Joe!!!  There's nothing like working on 
something that has history and meaning!  It'll be nice to see the 
progress you make on it!

I, too, have been getting ready for the GOW.  I'm looking forward to 
seeing my old friends and to finally meet in person those I've only 
met online. This year our chat gang decided to hold our 11th 
Jackstock at the GOW.  We'll miss those who are unable to make 
it.  Right now I'm finishing up my cane segment to bring with me and 
working on putting together what I'll need to bring for the classes 
I'll be teaching.  I suppose I ought to think about packing! :)

I've been commissioned to carve a life size Maine Coon Cat for a 
private collector.  I love those commissions....I would otherwise 
never have even thought of this project.  To keep my client 
up-to-date on the progress, I set up a blog at 
http://cahvah.wordpress.com/ if anyone wants to check it out.  I'm 
also trying to keep all the galleries supplied with carvings, and 
have been working on Veterans' Eagle Canes.  Too much to do, too little time!

I had a new friend drop in to visit and he plans to stay here!  His name is Blyant the XXIV.  Kenny Green casrved him from a pencil while sitting on a pier in Washington state.  Blyant told me his life story and I decided he will make a wonderful addition to my carving exchange shelf.

Thanks to Kenny & Matt for keeping up the exchange tradition and providing us all the expense of "what" from "whom" will be coming in the mail!

        Last week was the Sandwich Fair. My apprentices and I had a large display booth where we demonstrated from Wednesday through Sunday. I began working on a large relief (24 X 60) of the Last Supper. It is all one piece of mahogany that was lumbered out by hand with a chain saw about 20 years ago. The fellow who lumbered it out was very skilled. The thickness ranged only from 2-1/4 to 1-3/4 over the entire 76-inch length. A missionary brought it back from Guatemala and gave it to me about 5 years ago. It had only a slight bow before I began. Carving the background from the heart side, to about a 1-inch depth, has removed all the bow. I plan to keep the chainsaw marks on the back to preserve the history of the board. 
         
        Normally my Last Supper scenes include the backdrop of the upper room. On this one the figures are raised from the background about 1 inch and I plan to carve faces of modern-day saints and modern-day people in shallow relief throughout the entire background.

I've been getting ready for the GOW which startes on Monday. It will be
different not having it here at my shop. It's growing larger every year. This
year we have 17 awesome instructors plus myself. There's a lot of stuff I have
to take to the Sandwich Fair Grounds, where we moved the GOW. We still have room
for more. Come and join us. You do not have to sign up early, just come,
register and jump into a class. Check it out at
http://www.camperjohn.com/GOW08_main.html .
 
Last week was the Sandwich Fair. My apprentices and I had a large display booth
where we demonstrated from Wednesday through Sunday. I began working on a large
relief (24 X 60) of the Last Supper. It is all one piece of mahogany that was
lumbered out by hand with a chain saw about 20 years ago. The fellow who
lumbered it out was very skilled. The thickness ranged only from 2-1/4 to 1-3/4
over the entire 76-inch length. A missionary brought it back from Guatemala and
gave it to me about 5 years ago. It had only a slight bow before I began.
Carving the background from the heart side, to about a 1-inch depth, has removed
all the bow. I plan to keep the chainsaw marks on the back to preserve the
history of the board.
 
Normally my Last Supper scenes include the backdrop of the upper room. On this
one the figures are raised from the background about 1 inch and I plan to carve
faces of modern-day saints and modern-day people in shallow relief throughout
the entire background.

Gentle Subscribers...

After a quiet summer, the List seems to be waking up again. I hope  
that ALL the subscribers will contribute a snapshot of their summer  
goings-on as far as woodcarving is concerned. It is always nice to  
hear who has done what over the summer.

Good news from my desk... I've received the first of the fall  
donations in support of the List.
Vickie MacPherson sent her donation in via PayPal, and I've added her  
name to the Supporters page at:

http://www.wwwoodcarver.com/WWWList/2008Supporters/2008_Supporters.html

Thank you Vickie, for your kind support.

Message-ID: <69C86E2A-67FA-41C1-B56E-AE51C0A524E2@sasktel.net>

Gentle Carvers:

I've got to admit it, and I expect to have a lot of company in this  
admission... I did no carving all summer. Once my June Relief Carving  
workshop was over, Deb and I headed to the lake where we spent the  
better part of 9 weeks enjoying the lake and the outdoors. There I  
built decks, shingled a roof and puttered at various tasks throughout  
the summer. We also had a lot of guests.

But fall is here, and my carving classes have resumed, and I am really  
enjoying being back in the shop. My carvers are keen to take on new  
projects and to visit with their classmates. Some of the new projects  
are quite innovative, I must say.

As for me, I am continuing my "Stations of the Cross" project. Right  
now I am near the end of station 3, with only eleven left to go. Each  
station is unique, drawn from photos I have taken of live subjects, so  
this project will not be an adaptation of someone else's work. I can't  
wait to show you all the finished series.

Hi Bill, well where to start, after I returned from Kandahar, I spent some
quality time with the family and ?licked my wounds? I did however 
find time
to carve and work on my new books. During my leave I had what I call an age
epiphany and came to realization that woodcarving is not just something I love
to do but something I need to do, without it ??.I just wouldn?t be me. 
Needless to say I am working on several projects and building new ideas for
future projects. One such project is a new digital pattern & carving book
called ?Carving Canadian History? which I am very excited about. If you
have ever been to the Canadian Parliamentary Library and studied the carvings
you would be amazed at the details and hidden woodcarvings that sit in the
shadows of the Library. "Keep Carving"

Hi;

Does anyone on the list own a 1" belt sharpener called Carversharp or 
Carver-Sharp, it's somewhat similar to the Chipping Away Ultimate Sharpener?
A few years ago this belt sharpener was regularly advertised in the 
Mar-Apr issues of Chip Chats but I haven't noticed the ad since about 2005.
 From the simple picture in the ads It looked like it might be a well 
made piece of equipment, just wondering if anyone has one and if they 
have any comments on it's operations etc.?

TIA

Gord.

I believe Lee Valley Tools sells a sharpening system like this...  
simple and well made.
Check is out at www.leevalley.com/

Their catalogues are searchable online.

I have a 1" standard belt sander that I use the for sharpening.  I bought a set of belts with grits for shaping and sharpening blades and a leather belt.  I actually prefer it to a grinding wheel.  The belt runs slower, and because of it's length it runs cooler with less chance of taking the temper out.  I use to sharpen both my carving tools and my turning tools.

Thanks for the replies guys  BTW the Lee Valley unit is the same unit 
as Dennis Moor (Chipping Away) sells as the Ultimate Sharpener, which 
in turn I believe is manufactured by Viel Inc. in Quebec, and yes 
almost any 1" belt sander can be used  .

I just happened to be looking through some older Chip Chats and saw 
the advertisement again , got me wondering if someone on the list 
does own a Carversharp or Carver-Sharp and if they had any comments 
on the unitt.(G)

Hi,
The basic machine that both Chipping Away and Lee Valley sells is manufactured by Viel Tools of 33 Beland st.L'Isle-Verte, Quebec, Canada, G0L 1K1.? Their website is: http://www.vieltools.com/index.php
They
also produce many jigs for this grinder.? As well as sharpening carving
tools I also use the scissor,? and knife blade jigs a lot.? I see they
also have a new jig for carving tools available.? I made up my own jig
for carving tools both palm and mallet tools so I haven't tried
theirs.? The blue zirconia belts they sell work very well and don't
heat up tool blades if care is taken.
They sell the basic machine both with motor or without.? Check out the Trizac belts they sell for this rig.? Excellent for putting an usable edge on kitchen knives (dull to sharp in less than a minute).

Hi Gord,
I've put some pics of my rig on my Picturetrail album titled "Sharpening".? Go to:
http://www.picturetrail.com/workinginwood

The
tools set in center punch holes in handle ends on the point.? The
distance from the point to the belt can be set by eye or more
accurately using the sine value of the bevel angle you want.? It
probable seems anal retentive to set bevel angles on carving tools but
I find it faster in the long run.? By setting the angle the same every
time less material must be removed to maintain the edge and therefore
the grind goes faster, not to mention all the tools cut at the same
angle.? This is more important in cabinet chisels and plane blades.
To
set a specific angle measure the total length of the tool and multiply
the value by the sine value of the angle you want.? For example the
length of the #8 gouge pictured is 9 and 1/4" and the sine value of 18
degrees is .30902.?? Soooo- 9.25 x .30902 = 2.86" or approximately 2
and 7/8".? No problem.
Hope this helps.

Hi Gord,
Sure, I would like to get a look at the pictures of the other jigs.? Send them along if you get a chance.
Colchester is the small village I live in, and Harrow is the mailing address (big deal - they have a post office - we've got the lake!? lol).

Hi Larry;

Thank you, great pics and explanation.

The CrarverSharp system (which nobody seems to have) has a similar set
up.

They used square tubing , one sliding inside the other , actually two
setups, one that dropped down below the bench level? to handle
longer tools and the other just? at bench level.

Actually the basic CarverSharp itself looks quite similar to the unit you
have except the lower pulley/wheel is much smaller and they managed to
construct it in such away that the belt and platten are even with the
frame holding the motor at the bottom pulley.

As I said previously I have discovered how that can be achieved on your
type of unit, rather simple solution, if you want I can send a pic
showing how...not my invention just a pic I found while surfing.(G)

Also I found pics of another jig that seems to do the job of holding the
tool on your type of unit.

It started off it's life as a jig for sharpening gouges on a Delta belt
sander, but a slight modification made it usable on your type of unit. I
can send pis of it as well if you are interested.


BTW I noticed you use to list your location as Colchester now it's
Harrow, have you moved or just a name change for your local
area?


Thanks again for taking the time to post pics of your jig, looks like a
handy jig.

Much appreciated.


Gord.

Hi Larry;
Thanks for the reply.


Is it possible to see some pics of? the jig you created for
sharpening carving palm and mallet tools?
As I remember one of the short comings of? unit carried by Lee
valley? was that any fair sized (over 1" wide) gouges/chisels
had to be sharpened high up on the belt as the unit frame projected out
past the belt and prevented any movement across the belt to the left side
on the lower portion of the belt (down near the large wheel/pulley), to
me it made about half the length of the belt and platten unusable for
large tools ?
This drawback and also what I considered as too high a rate of speed
of the unit was the reason I got rid of the one I had purchased from Lee
Valley many years ago, of course I have since discovered how I could have
got around the belt and frame problem, aah too soon old too late
smart.(G)
Even though I don't have that particular unit anymore? I would
still be interested to seeing what kind of a jig you made up for the palm
and mallet tools, if possible.
I've sent this private as you can't send pics to the list.


TIA


Gord.

Gord,
The pics came through just fine.? The Denny system seems to be overkill for the job at hand. I don't think I like the way the tool handle sits in a cup.? With the handle perched on a pin I have great control of tool pressure and location on the belt.? I've never had a problem with short tools on my grinder since I don't have any palm tools with blades wider than 1" (do they exist?) and there is plenty of clearance for my 1-1/2" wide longer blades.? The jig I use is simple, quick and accurate to set at any bevel angle I want.? I did have one tiny little tool that I had to make an extended pin jig to grind but that was no problem.? I never power strop (a real quick way to round over a bevel) so the belt runs into the tool.
The Carvesharp looks interesting but I do most of my woodworking with hand tools and use the grinder on many blades other than just carving tools so I like the other jigs available from Viel.? As I mentioned before, sharpening anything from kitchen knives to scissors at accurate and repeatable bevel angles is very quick and easy.
Thanks for the photos Gord.

Hi Larry;

Here's the three other pics of the Denny tool holder jig mounted on a 
unit like yours.
One shows the jig up close mounted with a palm tool  positioned, 
another pic shows how the jig is actually mounted to the unit using 
the slot provided to mount the platform your unit comes with.
The last pic shows how a extra piece of shaped metal is attached to 
the platten so the belt runs out farther from the original platten 
position and brings the belt surface out so there is a clear space 
on  the left hand side of the belt on the lower portion of the platten.
As I suggested previously any tool over 1" wide couldn't be 
sharpened  down that low on the platten, maybe this is not a real 
problem for some people but it must have been to some individuals , 
me included otherwise the modification wouldn't have been made.(G)

Again I don't think any of these should be posted on web sites, just 
for personal use only.

Please let me know if they all arrive ok and hopefully you will have 
some comments.

Thanks again for your help.

Gord.

WELCOME HOME GARY!!!!
I think as most of feel that are here from Canada we are very proud of our 
Canadian Military that have gone over seas.
again welcome home!!!
I have used your website many many times for help, insight in my endeavours 
to be a better carver and well that you and I just live down Hwy 26 from 
each other(I living in Collingwood you in Meaford) I had sent you some 
emails a while ago about your carvings and general questions but as you were 
in Kandahar I am sure sometimes it has been hard to check email all the 
time.  there is no carving club here in Collingwood which is a shame because 
there are times when I need help aplenty This is something I would like to 
build is a club here in Collingwood. But since you were the closest person 
to me like I said I have used your site for help many times.  Well I have 
babbled or drippled(as was once said on this list) long enough.  I hope at 
some point Gary our paths cross and I can learn somethings from you :) Well 
I am off to the GNE aka The Great Northern Exhibition.
Bye for now,
Chris Huggins
Collingwood, Canada

Gord,
You mentioned the Ontario Wood Carver's Association.? I've been meaning to join for a couple of years now (one of those jobs that just don't get done - see reference to post office in past correspondence).? My memory was jogged by one of their semi-monthly publications at the carving museum in Windsor last week so I downloaded the application and now all I have to do is complete it and put it in the mail.? One step closer.
I enjoyed the exchange on sharpening;? seem to always learn something from the way others do things.? Thanks

Message-ID: <d5e.34795193.36070651@aol.com>

Gord,
 yes I have the machine and love it. I believe the machine is still  being 
manufactured.
 
While more expensive than the "other" 1 in belt machines, it has several  
advantages: 
1. a small 2" pulley on the motor with an idler pulley instead of the 6"  
pulley on the "other" machine. This results in a much slower belt  speed with 
less possibility of burning or over grinding small  tools. 
2. an adjustable arm for setting the grinding angle and assuring you get  the 
tool back to the same angle each time you check your grinding progress. This  
is the biggest advantage for me.
 
I use a digital angle gauge with it to set the angle. They are available  now 
in the $30 range. they work best on straight shanks but with some  
experimenting you can figure out how to compensate for bent shanks. With the  angle 
gauge I can set angles to 1/10 of a degree accurracy. The problem now is  knowing 
what the "right" angle is. 
 
When I first got the angle gauge I checked many of my gouges and found that  
when I was setting them by eye and thinking I was following what the  
manufacturer had used, I now had angles from 14 to 25 degrees on my tools.  Course 
this was after many sharpening's on each tool so there is no telling what  angle 
the manufacturer oginally used. 
 
I know theoretically it also varies with what wood you are using it on etc,  
but for softwoods and with the ability to re sharpen quickly and easily, I 
want  the smallest angle I can get without breaking the edge off too often.
 
I suspect that the manufacturer is a little conservative on his angle and  
that the angle set at the factory varies with the quality of the steel used. So  
the "right" angle may vary for each line of tools.
 
Larry in his response mentions 18 degrees as an example. 
Since getting the angle gauge 9 months ago, I have been using 20 degrees  for 
most gouges with a few down to 16 degrees to "test". 
 
Hope this helps
Jim O'Dea

Hi;

Does anyone on the list own a  1" belt sharpener called Carversharp or 
Carver-Sharp, it's somewhat similar  to the Chipping Away Ultimate Sharpener?
A few years ago this belt sharpener  was regularly advertised in the 
Mar-Apr issues of Chip Chats but I haven't  noticed the ad since about 2005.
>From the simple picture in the ads It looked  like it might be a well 
made piece of equipment, just wondering if anyone  has one and if they 
have any comments on it's operations  etc.?

TIA

Gord.

I received an inquiry from a insurance claims handler looking to have
a carving repaired. It is an award that has a eagle with outstretched
wings. One of the wings was broken off.

The carving is in Louisiana and I am in Texas. I suggested that it may
be good for someone locally to look at it. If you are near Ruston, LA
(between Monroe and Shreveport) and are interested in this repair, I'd
be glad to give you his contact information.

GOW 2008 was a roaring success. Thanks to all who taught, took classes and helped out. The 20 great instructors over 4 days made for a lot of fun and an exciting learning experience. Even though many who attended before could not make it this year we had the biggest crowd ever. Because of our great instructors, all indications show more growth for next year. 

 

It was very lucky that we planned on having the GOW at the Sandwich Fairgrounds (about 60 miles west of Chicago) instead of at my shop like all the other years, because with the heavy rains the days before we would have had to cancel it. As it was the fairgrounds worked out perfect. The weather was awesome. Many friendships were renewed as well as making more friends.

 

We sure hope that you all can join us next year. Mark your calendar for GOW 2009, the week of September 21, 2009. Put http://www.camperjohn.com/GOW08_main.html in your favorites for exciting news as we plan for GOW 2009.

Hey Lil' Joe and everyone!
 
I'm so glad to hear GOW 2008 went so well in spite of me having to miss it this
year.  :o)
 
I want to thank everyone who signed the walking stick that was brought back by
my buddy Rick.  I appreciate all your kind thoughts and prayers.  The surgery
went very well and I'm fully on the mend.
 
I also want to thank all you who weren't at the GOW for your concern.  It's nice
to have such a wonderful family out there pulling for you.
 
Best regards,

Message-ID: <20080924215830.2B6811BF6AF@smtp0.av-mx.com>



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!!!  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!

Hi Charley,

I can't determine, from you note, exactly what 15 books you need? Is the title of the book "Soap Carving For All Ages"?

May I suggest carving sweet potatoes instead of soap. Soap is very messy. Sweet potaotes can be carved easily with a paring knife. Clean up is easy. They can also eat the parts they cut off. Sweet potatoes take on a very unique look after several months of drying and shrinking.
