ANd if so I - if we make it this year - will be there! So to answer your question I think having students put a pattern on the wood if they don't know how is useful but also takes more time away from the carving part. Any of your suggestions would be GREAT! Could you have all three choices or would it be only one for everyone to do? How big would this project be to be finished in 6 hours? Oh my I hope you are doing this at Cherry Ridge so I can sit in! Merrilee I want to do a classical style relief carving which can be finished by most in roughly 6 hours of carving. My original ideas were to do either, grapes and leaves, an acanthus leaf design or a traditional shell carving. Now my topics for discussion are, if you were to come and take my class.... first which design would you be more interested in doing and why. Would you rather the design already be on the wood or should I make my students transfer the pattern lines themselves? Would you find this class interesting? Any else you can think of would be great and all suggestions will help alot.

Its a good thing you aren't the carving sherriff there. We can only have one sherriff and that's George Bashore. He teaches with a 1/2" wood chisel and gets cranky if you use anything eles ! Just as Sheila! Good idea again! Merrilee To: woodcarver at carverscompanion.com Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2009 23:11:37 -0500 From: linehan718 at aol.com Subject: Re: [Woodcarver] Maura's class questions Yeah Chuck, the tool requirement will be the sticking point. I will allow people to use whatever tools they have but will be demonstrating the proper way to do it. I'm not the carving sherriff and if they must use stop cuts I won't send them to the corner. I guess I can make some of my tools available also. As for the wood I think I will be using Aspen as it is readily available here in the city. My parks dept class uses it and we all seem to like it. You just try getting basswood down here in New York City. LOL And the price of basswood would skyrocket if I had to have it shipped in. 3/4" is sufficient for a relief if I want them to finish in a day but I'll poke around in Jersey and see what I can come up with. Oak Leaves is a good Idea esp. since Iv'e done quite a few of them. So maybe it will the students choice of oak leaves or acanthus. And they will start with a blank piece of wood. Thanks Mush wish You were in my class too, it would be nice to finally meet you I was also thinking of doing a quick evening class on carving those little miniature wolves. I've carved and sold close to 150 now and I have it down to a science. Only problem is that I see wolves in my dreams. LOL Okay keep the comments coming.

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!

Okay....Okay, it sounded good. I just finished carving a wood spirit for an article if the picture are good enough this time. I have struggled in the past with my photographs. I believe they worked out this time. I will submit the article tomorrow and see how it goes. What is everyone else carving?

However, I like acanthus carving so I may be partial. I think I would have the blank drawn out and then just discuss the methods of transferring the design for the sake of time. In my longer classes, I have my students draw on their designs. However, I don't think your time is sufficient for this. If you don't intend to finish your project in class I would suggest that you have some finished pieces available so you can discuss the merits of your finishing technique. Good luck with your class.

Your love of carving will help make you a great teacher, I am still learning how to teach. I still remember the ship in relief you did many years ago now it was powerful. Dogwood Blossoms are popular and fairly easy and it makes use of most of the tools. I have been carving women lately,a Madonna I finished and sold in December is featured on Chipping Aways News Letter this month. Also I had an article in Carving Magazine on power carving eyes next issue I believe will be nose.

Perhaps if your design had a repeating factor - that is, one section that you could help to completion and the other section they could attempt on their own. That would give them immediate practice if they had time in class but gives them a finished section to look at if they don't have time for the whole thing. Having them put the design on is great but again you have to judge the time. You will have to do a dry run of putting the design on and carving it - giving yourself lots of breaks. Then triple the time to see how long it might take the class. And if you have a large class sign up - it will take even longer to get them through it. Hope it helps, Sandie -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If not..if you can scan a picture of a bulldog's head at that 3/4 view and convert it to black and white, it might give you a good idea of how to carve it. Some more involved programs will allow you to find edges, resulting in just an outline. Good luck..hope this helps.

I found that a leaf design is easier to teach to a beginner level carver. There is value in having the student transfer the pattern to the wood, not only to teach them the steps but it helps them become acquainted with the design as they transfer it. However most classes I taught it was difficult to have the average student finish the most basic design even without them transferring the pattern. The difficulty with doing relief carving at most roundup's is the setup isn't right. In our shop we have the luxury of clamping the piece from the sides leaving the top clear to maneuver the tools and the bench height high enough to stand and utilize our whole body to power the tool. At most roundup's they have tables, so the clamps are on top of the piece getting in the way of the tool. Those tables are not the right height to stand, so using classical techniques it is very difficult to get enough power without using a mallet. Their carving time will be longer because the setup is not ideal. When I carve the project at a moderate speed I figure it will take the average student 4 times longer because they don't have all the necessary tools, not the right height to work, the clamps get in the way and if you have more then one carver per 8-foot table it's unstable. One thing that helps is to make a clamping setup that allows the clamps to be below the carving surface. Mount the carving to a clamping board. Many students will not have a full-size set of tools. Typically they come with palm chisels, which wouldn't be to bad except rarely do they have selection of larger tools. I generally have to take along a considerable number of tools to loan out.

We go to the Suwanee (Florida) Roundup every spring. We like to stay with an instructor for three or four days instead of switching to a new one each day. It helps if instructors have sample carvings in various stages of completion that we can use as examples. I would like to learn to do grapes and leaves. I have a piece of titanium in my backbone that makes it impossible for me to stand for extended periods of time, so I need a stool to lean on if I work on an elevated surface. However, if forewarned I could bring one. Similarly, if long-handled tools are needed, we could bring some if warned in advance. We prefer instructors who tell us what to do and demonstrate on a separate piece of wood rather than working directly on our carvings. My wife says, "Use your words." One solution to the time issue is to do an exercise in class, focusing on the main elements of the carving, rather than trying to complete a fully executed work in the limited time available. I see by the TV that you all have been having some challenging weather up there. Try teaching in Florida some spring. Ned Megargee, Havana, FL **************Great Deals on Dell Laptops.

I thought I was subscribed to a carving list - I did not realize it was a closed list of friends that wanted to chat about everything from some carving to snowblowers with more on stuff that has no relevance to those outside of the closed group. I feel like I am intruding into someone else's private territory, additionally I can not handle all of those emails (again, mostly not related to or helpful to me as a carver). I know, as has sometimes been the case in the past when others have left the list for similar reasons, you will chastise me as a non-participating list member that was disgruntled. I have participated on issues that were pure carving issues and quite frankly only received a very few responses. So to those of you that do want to keep the list pertinent to carving thank you--- again, I can not handle all of these unrelated e-mails.

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 just can't seem to get motivated enough to either start something new or complete some started projects that I told myself I would get done this year. Can anyone tell me what has worked to get them motivated to get back to carving after a dry spell? Second, I have a recurring problem with getting good photos of carvings. My standard method of trial and error with the lighting, inside and outside works sometimes but not consistently. On my last fish for example, I took one photo (after a couple of tries) using a piece of light blue foam from an old camping bedroll and the color and contrast came out very well. However, when I tried to set up with a cloth maroon cloth background to take more photos, it looked good but my camera did not like it at all. The photos were either too dark or too bright and glarey and the colors did not look true. There must be a way to set up for photos that provides a good background and lighting for true color without glare. Can anyone suggest something simple and reliable that might work.

Just enjoying the smell, sound and feel of a sharp chisel slicing through wood is stimulating. Most often after a few cuts the block decides what it wants to become so I just help it along its journey. One book I just read, Drawing From Within says that some of the best pictures are created when we are not trying to create a picture but just let our mind loose to draw. Maybe some of that is true for carving too? I think Byron's comment about the photo cube is good. Other things that are helpful is always use a tripod. I always put something white in the photo, even if it's in the corner that will be cropped off, so the camera has something to use it for white balance. Shadows help define depth. I like using one light source, generally from the side, to show shadows. Natural outdoor light seems to be ideal however indoors the daylight type of bulbs yield good results.

There was a time when I was almost obsessive with my carving. Now I give thanks for commissions, seems nothing motivates like money sometimes. When I have really been stalled, there are three things I found would get me back into it. One was to clean my shop. Seems I just can't stand it when its just too organized. Another was to sharpen and/or hone all of my chisels. Theres just something about a wonderfully sharp tool that begs to be used. But the best motivator that I ever found was to help another carver along. Perhaps theres a youngster around who would like a few lessons or a bunch of seniors who you could volunteer to teach a small class for. As for pictures, I just bought a new Nikon and the difference in my pictures is amazing. I also thank god for digital cameras.

I like to call it "the best little show in the Midwest". It's held at the Longbranch Hotel and Convention Center, 90 Twixtown Road, Cedar Rapids, IA 52402 (319) 377-6386. The show is open from 9 to 5 on Saturday, Feb. 7 and from 10 to 4 on Sunday, Feb. 8. They have a judged competition, a raffle with all sorts of donated carvings, a banquet with a raffle and live auction and a whole lot of very nice carvers who you can gain all sorts of knowledge from. A couple of notables, besides ourselves, that I know will be there are John Burke (Yes ... the one and only!)with a table full of tremendous carvings and Denny Neubauer, the creator and maker of the famous "Denny" line of excellent tools. Rumor has it that Denny will be having some of his new, heavy-duty, mallet-type tools for us to show off to you. You can't use the Super Bowl as an excuse for not coming since it doesn't fall on that weekend this year. You know you're getting cabin fever all cooped up for the last couple of months. The weather is supposed to be marvelous over the weekend in the Cedar Rapids area, so come on out and see us.

There was a time when I was almost obsessive with my carving. Now I give thanks for commissions, seems nothing motivates like money sometimes. When I have really been stalled, there are three things I found would get me back into it. One was to clean my shop. Seems I just can't stand it when its just too organized. Another was to sharpen and/or hone all of my chisels. Theres just something about a wonderfully sharp tool that begs to be used. But the best motivator that I ever found was to help another carver along. Perhaps theres a youngster around who would like a few lessons or a bunch of seniors who you could volunteer to teach a small class for. As for pictures, I just bought a new Nikon and the difference in my pictures is amazing. I also thank god for digital cameras. I often take up to 20 pics of the same thing, changing the lighting, changing positions, changing backgrounds. Then load all the pics into my pc and pick out the best one or two.

But I went for a walk one day into the Canadian Parliament buildings and found myself in surrounded by outstanding carvings of all shapes and sizes. When I walked out I was ready to launch out and carve. Now I don't have enough time in the day to do anything but carve. Bottom line is go to a museum or some where's you can witness other carvers or carvings could be just as simple as picking up a new carving mag.

You want to be able to control ALL of the light on your carving. Too much light in the wrong place will cause the colors to be washed out or the carving to have too much glare in some areas. This why it's NOT RECOMMENDED TO TAKE PHOTOS OUTDOORS! Go to a framing store and buy a large piece of medium grey poster board. Bend the poster board so that has a curve at the back and is vertical against the wall at the top and horizontal against the table at the bottom. Some thumbtacks outside the edge will help hold it in place. Use a minimum of two lights that have swivel bases and adjustable arms. Use CFL bulbs. Natural light bulbs are better if you don't plan on processing your photos on photo software. The bulbs should not be more than the equivalent of 40 watts incandescent. The reason you need two or more lights is that you will need to direct the light from at least two directions to fill the shadows. You will still be able to get shadows to show the detail but there wont be areas that are lost in shadow. Cover the light bulbs with semi-transparent tracing paper taped to the lampshades. This is to diffuse and soften the light. Professional photographers have special lights that work essentially the same way. Experiment with the adjustments of the lights. Do not point the lights directly at the carving. I sometimes point the lights at the ceiling to reflect the light off of the white sheet rock. The ideal lighting will be much darker to your eye than what appears correct. Sometimes it appears too dark to take a picture but don't be fooled. EXPERIMENT! EXPERIMENT! EXPERIMENT! If the photo appears too dark when you upload it, experiment with the brightness and contrast. USE A TRIPOD! Set the ISO at 200 or less, and the highest resolution your camera allows. Too high of an ISO will cause grainy photos. Set the camera on manual and don't use the flash. Use the timed release to release the shutter so there will be no movement. You will be taking the photo at a very slow shutter speed and any movement will cause blur. Most digital cameras will set the exposure for you. Use a 10 second time delay to allow the camera time to settle down after you push the button. I prefer to take under exposed photos and then work with them with photo processing software. This allows me to enhance the brightness and contrast and adjust the colors and saturation. The computer processing can take a bit of experience to master but it's possible to get quality raw photos with the photography techniques I've outlined above. Take lots of photos, upload them to the computer and analyze the weaknesses. Adjust lighting angle etc. and take lots more. You will learn what works for you and what doesn't -- 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.

Lynn Diel had an article in Carving Magazine a few issues back that told how to make the light tent. My best results have come with a light blue background. I use three lights. My light tent is wrapped with a bed sheet. I use a clamp-on light fixture on top with a standard incandescent bulb that shines through the top of the light tent and onto the light blue back board. I then light the front with two light that have 13 watt daylight (florescent) bulbs in them. I direct one light on each side of the carving. This setup seems to work better for me than any other method that I have tried. I too had a terrible time with light. As a matter of fact, I had an article turned down for a carving magazine because of the pictures. I've worked hard on the photographs and the above worked better for me than anything. By all means, don't use a bare flash. As far as getting your carving mojo working, good luck. I think we all go through those time. I went through one not long ago. I love caricature carving. I got out some books on caricature carving and read them thoroughly from cover to cover, discovered a couple of new things I wanted to try and yahoo, I'm carving once again. Good luck and get back to carving as soon as you can. You're too good not to get back on it soon.

Where I live it's not cloudy that often and when it is, it's usually raining or snowing. With the indoor method you can take photos on any day or night. Color casts can be a problem so it's a good idea to get familiar with a software program that allows you to change the brightness, contrast , saturation and color hue. The cloudy day method is a good option but I find I have much more control over the shadows and details by using lights. That's why professional photographers use a studio to take photos of art.

Professionals use color corrected lights and polarized filters on the lights for direct lighting. Many use umbrellas for soft non direct light. The lights are still color corrected. I managed to find couple 5000?K CFL lights. from the pictures I don't think they're exactly 5000?K. I'd like to find some 5900?K light without paying an arm and leg for them. I also use the photo cube which provides a nice soft light. I prefer to use 3 lights. 2 at approximately 45? and one overhead slightly behind the subject, sometimes refereed to as a halo light. With the halo light slightly behind the subject is sperated from the background appears to float. Many catalogs us that technique.

He has been referenced in some websites and on the lists. He is currently getting ready for the Mesa, AZ show and will be leaving for that next Sat. We spent the day working on orders and he is currently at home tallying the wood that we finished today. He usually does not have a ready stock of wood but does have some finished wood in various sizes. The majority of his wood is basswood but also has butternut. When ordering wood, if the dimensions are flexible, it makes it easier to make up an order. By flexible you can set a minimum for thickness and/or width as well a maximum. Example instead of 3x3 indicate minimum 2 3/4 to 3 1/2 square by length in 8" increments or RL (Random Length). This would come out as a squares that would be packaged in available packaging of 16 , 24 or 32 or random lengths. Another method would be to get wood from some thickness of varying sizes and RW (Random Width). By using a little flexibility we can make up the order much easier but if you require an exact dimension we will do that but sometimes John will have to get the wood from other locations which could delay the order. The best return for the money is to ship a box of 70lbs which is about 30 bd ft of basswood or butternut.

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 had a hand piece that got so hot that I slid a piece of heater hose over it to protect my hand. I later learned that too much grease on the cable can leak down into the hand piece and cause overheating. I was under the mistaken impression that if a little grease is good, then more is better. Unscrew the back off your hand piece, and remove the excess grease, if that is your problem. Ron -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The suggestions will be very helpful and have already started moving me in the right direction. I did purchase a photo cube (36" x 36") on e-bay (still waiting for it to arrive) and that plus all of the lighting and other suggestions should help me get consistent and good results. My carvingbody also contacted a carving buddy to try to set something up and I am seriously thinking about what I really want to carve (there does seem to be too much of that). I also got some really good deals on carving books and DVD's in Fox Publishing recent supersales and am looking through them. Anyway, things are better than stagnant now and promise to get better. This group is really helpful when needed. ALEX -------------- 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!

Sandi and Joe gave you some excellent advice. It takes a lot longer to teach your students how to do it than it takes for you to do it yourself. You didn't say what level these students would be. Absolute beginners take longer than more experienced carvers. If you allow beginners then you may have to teach them how to carve- hold the tools, etc. I require my students to have some experience because I don't usually teach the basics. Have some step-by-step go-bys so that they can see what you are getting at. Something they can hold in their hands is a big help in understanding. I'd do one for the bossing in, one removing the background, one starting to shape the subject, and one finished. These could all be on one board with 1/4 section for each stage. I always have some written instructions for them to take home. That way they can repeat the steps by themselves later. They can also use the paper to take notes as you are speaking. If you keep to one design for everyone it will make it easier to teach the group- no changes for design. Transferring the design is something you could talk about and demo to them how best to do it. To up your pay you could have extra blanks for them to buy. You could have a couple of different designs on them so that they could just take them home and do another relief. Joe had an excellent point about the facilities being less than ideal for relief carving. I think his idea of attaching the board to be carved to another larger board that could be clamped to the table is very good. You could use some woodworkers' double-sided tape to make the attachment and it would not move.

He went to spell check an email in Outlook Express as he usually does and the computer tried to give him the French spellings of every word. We went into the setup part and found where it said French instead of English. However, on our other computers, a drop down box opened with choices of other languages. On Don's computer, there was no drop down box - French was the only choice. Don compared what's on this computer with what's on his desktop and can find no difference.

Don had Office 2000 on the computer and installed 2007 because he needed one new capability. Everything was ok until he decided that he could uninstall 2000 to save room - his memory was running out (on the computer, that is). It was then that the 2007 started talking French. Thanks to all who took the time to answer. So now we will try to install another spell checker - probably from the 2000 version, if we can, when we get home. We are spending the weekend at Reelfoot Lake in northwestern TN, looking for eagles. We saw some yesterday and are heading out again today. The eagles are so neat to see. Reelfoot Lake was created when a big earthquake hit the area and the Mississippi River actually flowed backwards and covered some areas. When everything settled the water remained in what is now Reelfoot Lake. The eagles and other waterfowl love to spend time here in the winter.

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!

What I would like to teach is?an introduction to?classical carving which really isn't being offered much at any of the roundups.? Classical carving, just to clarify things, means some tool specific carving.? This means minimizing the use of the stop cut and emphasizing either a veiner or v-tool to cut around and outline, chisels and shallow gouges for grounding out and gouges for doing rounding, the sweep of the gouges matching the curve of the carving, rather than whittling away with any tool till you get what shape you want.?No power tools in this class. ?I will be touching on the history of carving and an explanation of the sheffield numbering system and some advanced carving techniques, but imparting that knowledge during the course of the day rather than giving a boring lecture.? People in my class will range from beginners to intermediates.? I want to do a classical style relief carving which can be finished by most in roughly 6 hours of carving.? My original ideas were to do either, grapes and leaves, an acanthus leaf design or a traditional shell carving.? ? Now my topics for discussion are, if you were to come and take my class.... first which design would you be more interested in doing and why.?? Would you rather the design already be on the wood or should I make my students transfer the pattern lines themselves?? Would you find this class interesting??

I have added a new album to my picturetrail site in the last couple of weeks. It's called "Recent carvings." Please take a look and let me know what you think. Many of the carvings (all right, all of them) I show on the picturetrail site I will teach others how to carve. I will be retiring in June, 2009 so I expect to have lots of time to serve as an instructor and would welcome any and all invitations to do so. For any persons or club members that are interested I have attached a copy of a letter I have sent to carving clubs in Florida for next winter, but I am available to come just about anywhere to teach classes. For more info on this please contact me as I am building my schedule now for this summer and beyond right now.

Have you downloaded and printed out the free plans and instructions? That is what they are there for. Make some bugs for your father. Dragonflies are easy. Dragonflies in cherry are very pretty- especially figured cherry. For making such tiny cuts in basswood- like for butterfly eyes- you have to have very sharp knives. I've taught hundreds of people how to carve my bugs- and we have never run into a bad piece of basswood. I have had to touch up a few knives though.

The basic > "triangle" chip is not a problem now. Hi Jay, I have been chip carving now for a few years, and still get some chipout. Here are some of the "secrets" I have found that help avoid chipouts. Sharp knives, Very, VERY sharp knives Use a spray bottle to mist the wood as you carve it if chipout is a problem. if carving a chip right beside another chip already carved, carve the line next to the carved chip first. then carve the others so there is less chance of putting too much pressure on the newly carved ridge. If carving a big chip, or one that seems like the wood is being difficult, carve out a much smaller chip in the middle of it first. That relieves the pressure for the final cuts on the side walls of the chip. Lastly, practice, and don't be discouraged, chip carving takes time. If I do a relief carving and carve of a hunk of a tree limb, I can fix it so no one will know there should have been a tree limb there. Chip out a triangle, and it stands out like a sore thumb! Happy carving! Vic H PS: Small Christmas ornaments are easy to carve, lots of good practice, and make nice package decorations, etc when done.

A lot of helpful information and web site resources to go through and more to learn. I did find one tip that I think addressed a big part of my problem. I need to use "stacked" cuts when I have multiple chips terminating in a center point. After going back and looking at various pictures more closely, I see where that was where I was trying to squeeze to many cuts in the same spot. I did show my wife a practice panel about 4" x 18" of repeating patterns in one inch squares and a little rosette about 5" diameter. She thought they looked fine, although I know where all the rough spots are. I won't quit my day job yet, but I think I'm hooked now.

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! E-mail me off the list for additional information and instructions.

Wonderful color when finished. Black walnut or cherry would be super but also super hard if you're not used to it.

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.

I was part of the first cane exchange, along with 15 others including Matt Kelley, Loren Woodard, Bill Russell and a few others who are still on this list! My finished cane stands proudly in my office here at home as a reminder of the fun we had carving and sending segments to each other. The basic segment is carved from a 3" tall by 2" square block of wood, with a 5/8" hole drilled from top to bottom. The segment can be carved with any design or motif that you desire, the sky is the limit. The finished cane is a wonderful display piece for your carving collection.

Accordingly, I have updated the web pages for my two CD books in the Relief Carving Revelations series, and for the CD book containing the plans for my new Carvers Bench (a do-it-yourself project) to allow online purchase and download. The online purchase/download method allows me to reduce the price of the CD books and allows you to get them onto your computer the same day. I call this a win-win situation. After the books are downloaded they can be backed up to CD, DVD or Hard Drive. The Relief Carving Revelations series is available for download at: http://www.wwwoodcarver.com/Home/CD_Books.html The Carvers Bench plans are available for download at: http://www.wwwoodcarver.com/Home/Carvers_Bench_Plans.html Thanks for your time. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Bill For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.

Great to be back to carving after a week on the road and a brand new computer as well :) These are another project from Will Hayden's website. These are 2 sided stoppers carved on a 1 1/2 x 3 inch basswood block. Painted in acrylics and finished with wipe on oil poly. Thanks for looking as always, you can check them out here: http://iowacarver.tripod.com/ -- Corey IowaCarver http://iowacarver.tripod.com/ http://picasaweb.google.com/IowaWoodCarver -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
