Thank you for the lovely Christmas card with pictures of your family and new grandchild.? My dear Paul would be very happy for you!? I appreciate your continuing to remember me as well.? I have even thought of attending some of the wood carvers events just to see some of Paul's friends in this part of his life.? He truly wanted to learn to carve as well as all of you - had all the tools and desire but lacked a really good teacher since George Keilhoffer?(sp?) was called home.? May our Lord continue to bless your lovely family and your business...and your carving!? Jean A. McCain

Happy New Year Jean and thanks for the kind words. Rev Paul is missed by
many of us. During the holidays and challenging times I often think of him.
I keep in touch with Lynn Diel and he has expressed the same feelings. Paul
had carving talent but like most of us, we are our own worse critics and
always striving and sometimes struggling to improve our skills.

 

Please stop by any time you can at an event or anytime in the Detroit or
Harrison (cottage) area.

 

All the best in 2009 to you and your family !!

 

Doug Evans

  Greetings  to all  of you wonderful people, form a struggling carver in Cyprus, the sunny island in the Mediterranean. It's been a joy reading your posts and seeing photos of the masterpieces you produce. 

  I have been lurking in the list  for far too long. I think the time is now  ripe  to venture out and expose my work to your critique. Photos of my efforts can be seen at http://www.picturetrail.com/thermios

Joe- I think we should do whatever we feel like doing! So there.
I personally have dozens of unfinshed projects floating around here. Most of them just weren't coming out right and I lost interest in trying to fix them. One of these was that self-portrait I started in a class in 2001. (remember that link to the blog I did on the project: http://portraitcarving.blogspot.com/  ) Maybe I wasn't ready for that level of carving, or just didn't spend enough time with it- but it was bad. When I took it out a couple of months ago I knew what I needed to do- and so I did it. Now, it is ready for a final sanding and finish and it will be done. One reason for it not being completed yet is because I'd like to think of a way to incorporate this work into something more complete. As it is it is just a class project, and I'd like to turn it into a 'work of art'- or at least something prettier. I hope it doesn't take me another 7 years to do that.

Then maybe I'll tackle another 'failure'- if I want to, that is.
Heck- it is our hobby- we should do whatever floats our boat- right?!

Peter- your work is really, really nice. Why is it that you are restricted in your carving now? If I'm being too nosy just ignore the question.

That is a good question, Joe. I have made the same resolutions every year, but most of them end up not getting done. The seated nude is still a pile of reference photos, some drawings and a hefty chunk of butternut. I really want to get at her, but it needs to be in a space of time when there is nothing else pressing- and I'm not there. 
I sometimes go months without carving or any woodworking at all- that is bad. It is depressing to not make something- not to make a cake that will be eaten, or to clean a floor  that will just get dirty again, but to make something permanent with our own two hands- it just doesn't get any better than that.

Make something- you will feel better for it.

degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is
worth war is much worse.

Message-ID: <20090101233836.JYDG27943.eastrmmtao104.cox.net@eastrmimpo02.cox.net>

This is my first carving of 2009. It?s also the first time I have carved a
wood spirit. It?s carved from Skyler Johnson?s book. Carved on a basswood 10
inch x 1 ? inch stick. Finished with tinted oil and a light coat of satin
lacquer. Fun one to do. I want to do more of these. I have a couple of wood
spirit study sticks on order to help a bit. Picked up Jan?s WCI set as well.
I have posted pics at the following link:

Thanks for looking as always!

Hi Donna, how generous you are to include ideas, samples and even
instructions on your jewelry pages.  Great designs.  I'm afraid I'm going to
have to try a couple of those.  Thanks so much for being so sharing.

You are quite welcome. I cannot personally teach everyone how to make these items, but I hope that anyone who wants to make them will be able to with the instructions. These are the handouts from my classes. If anyone has problems or questions about the projects I'm just a posting away.

One question I'm always asked is about the iridescent paints I use on a lot of my small projects. Dick Blick has them by Jo Sonya in a 6 pack for not too much moola- like $12, I think. That is 6 different iridescent colors- small amounts, like an ounce, but we use tiny bits so it will last most people forever.
Happy carving-

 Hi  Bill and woodcarving friends.....
I am finally home after six weeks away from my beloved home.  Seems we both
had bad timing this last w3e.  I am sitting here admiring the  Santa
ornament you sent me and thinking how much I trully love participating in
the w3e exchange. I am aquiring such wonderful treasures from all over, and
sending a piece of me to so many places I could only dream of ever visiting.

Thank you so very much for the fabulously carved Santa ornament and hope to
meet you~~ and receiving another of your carvings one day.  
Happy New Year to you and your's!!!
Big ole hugs!!

Irwin,
I do dog and cat pins. You can see them on my web site under jewelry. I have the patterns for those three dogs, if you want them I'll send them to you. I also have a poodle, but it is kinda ugly since it was a commission and it was of a certain funny looking dog. 
I bought the Eyewitness Series reference books for both dogs and cats and I used them for making my patterns most of the time- just changing the colors to match a certain dog/cat.
Let me know how I can help you-

I hope that the commissions start once again.  I'm sure the economy has hurt
the pocket books of many carvers.  Good luck to you.

I have a band sawed cowboy that I'm working on right now.  It was a Claude
Bolton pattern.  Does that tell you how old it is.  Actually, I changed the
pattern up a bit and started carving it a couple of days ago. LOL

 

You don't happen to have any of the old Andy Anderson pattern books lying
around collecting dust do you?  :-)

Hey Steve,

 

Only 12 years old ... you don't even want to know how old some of my
projects are that haven't been completed.

 

I've got a couple of Enlow's figures that started as a BANDSAW CUT-OUT ...
that's how old they are!  LOL!

 

Happy New Year to you ... and give that no-account neighbor Glenn a shout
for me.  :o)

I just finished a Santa roughout I started 12 years ago. Turned out ok. "No

Nine more to go.

Hi Tom,

 

Good resolutions except maybe the last one. 

 

Maybe sometimes maybe an idea isn't working out and should be scraped? What
do you other carvers think?

Wow, George, you are a very talented and gifted carver.  I love the depth in
your relief carvings.  You have a great variety in your subject matter,
which to me suggests that you must have been an artist for a very long time
- even before you began carving.  Beautiful work.  
 
By the way, was your house taken from you in the invasion, or is it still
your house?.  It looks like a government building now.  It was so very
peaceful looking in your carving.  I'm sorry to see it changed so.  Thank
you so much for sharing.
 
Arkansas Fran.

It is with great sorrow that I write to you of my mother's passing.

Doris passed away on December 26, 2008.  She had struggled with  
Pulmonary Fibrosis for the last 2 years and her lungs and heart could  
no longer keep her going.

Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive disease, an inflammation of the  
lungs that gradually replaces working lung cells with non-functional  
scar tissue.  Along with this comes weight loss and weakness.  For the  
last few months she was dependent on a wheelchair to get around and  
needed an external oxygen supply to breath.  Throughout it all she  
trusted in God and worried about not being there for her family.

We are going to miss her.

God Bless.

Subject: [Woodcarver] Sunday Woodcarver Chat
Message-ID: <20090104184826.799CA1BF9BA@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!
E-mail me off the list for additional information and instructions.

Hey Chris,
 
Thanks for the heads-up.  I've got my Direct-TV recorder all set-up to record
any Wood Sculptors programs regardless of the time of day.  I sure am glad they
offer the DIY network.  They have a bunch of great shows.  They had the
Jool-Tool Sharpener on one of the episodes of "Cool Tools" as a hot new holiday
gift idea.
 
I'm looking forward to seeing Leah, Ol' Don and you on the tube.
 
Does your episode come with a built-in translator so folks can understand
hill-talk???  :o)

Chris,

I saw your episode this morning. I recorded it last night, watched it this morning, and it was great!! I really enjoyed watching it. I had been waiting for a long time for the wood sculpting show to start up again.

       I am not sure if we saw the same show Larry Fran and Jan but the one I saw had a guy that was a cross between Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt with a voice that sounded like Sean Connery and he was a great carver too. Larry I did not know I had an accent till I was 33. Love you all Chris

Hi Jan:
 
As mentioned, our son-in-law who presently lives in Edmonton is interested
in taking some classes or instruction in wood carving.
 
Could you drop us some names and such of wood carvers in Edmonton who teach
this art.
 
Thanks.

  Chris,

  I saw your episode this morning. I recorded it last night, watched it this morning, and it was great!! I really enjoyed watching it. I had been waiting for a long time for the wood sculpting show to start up again.

       The DIY Series WoodSculptors starts with new carvers starting at 4 am EST in the morning and for the next 3 weeks. An e-mail to DIY would help to get it aired at a better time and would also let them know the interest to their show. This is the 200 series Ol Don will be on this month I think mine is in the morning. Leah Goddard will be on in 2 weeks. not sure of the others its listed as DWDS-201.....thru DWDS-214   4am-6am on the Sunday Schedule but its early Monday morning.

Chris,

 

I saw your episode this morning. I recorded it last night, watched it this
morning, and it was great!! I really enjoyed watching it. I had been waiting
for a long time for the wood sculpting show to start up again.

 The DIY Series WoodSculptors starts with new carvers starting at 4 am EST
in the morning and for the next 3 weeks. An e-mail to DIY would help to get
it aired at a better time and would also let them know the interest to their
show. This is the 200 series Ol Don will be on this month I think mine is in
the morning. Leah Goddard will be on in 2 weeks. not sure of the others its
listed as DWDS-201.....thru DWDS-214   4am-6am on the Sunday Schedule but
its early Monday morning.

       I am not sure if we saw the same show Larry Fran and Jan but the one I
saw had a guy that was a cross between Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt with a voice
that sounded like Sean Connery and he was a great carver too. Larry I did not
know I had an accent till I was 33. Love you all Chris

Hi everyone,

Chris Howard has been talking about the carving series on DIY. Don is scheduled to be on sometime but we can't get that channel on our? satellite tv.

Could someone tape the new shows and send a copy of them to us? We will gladly pay postage.

Message-ID: <20090107224432.5E4171BFC80@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!

Sorry to hear that your band saw is ailing. It is amazing that my 36 year old saw is still going strong with just a new belt and new/used motor to replace the used one we put on in 1973. 
The Carter products are very good indeed. I don't recommend them for people who buy new band saws, but if you need to buy new parts anyhow then it sounds like a good plan.

Dave,
 I am using the Carter Guide on a 14 inch bandsaw and love it, saves  on 
broken blades, makes nice tight curves. 1 guide only on the upper end, throw  away 
the original lower end guide. 
 
the 2 guide system with 2 bearing as i recall is for resawing- but I don't  
have it.

well my import bandsaw is falling apart and requires attention, ? Delta parts fit fine but I keep looking at the Carter roller bearing guides. ? since my broken parts include the guide mount hardware the carter guide system is not much more expensive. ? Any of you using these and if so what are your thoughts? ? also some sites look like they include upper and lower guides in the kit and some it's hard to tell. ? Thanks.

I have a handy dandy info sheet on choosing a band saw that I will be happy to sent to you personally if you want. Contact me off list- donpbk at yahoo.com.
I'd post it to the files here as I have to the Yahoo! groups, but this group is private and it gets more complicated. If the list owner wants to display it I will be glad to send it along.

I have the Carter with one bearing with a slot at the back of the 
blade. This is the less expensive version.  It doesn't work that 
well.  I wish I had paid the extra money for the one that has three 
bearings with one on each side of of the blade.  I've used the better 
one on other saws and it works great.

I don't know if this is appropriate or not but I have a 14" delta (2 
wheeler) band saw that I have used  for less then  an hour total in the 5 
years that I have had it. It is sitting in my basement gathering dust. 
Anybody in the Pickering area (Just east of Toronto) wants to make me an 
offer on it  can contact me off the list.

Message-ID: <20090111193825.73735290946@smtp1.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!
E-mail me off the list for additional information and instructions.

 I have a friend in Springfield who also thinks Grizzly makes a good saw.? 

Think I'll have to make a field trip to the showroom in Pennsylvania.? My understanding is you can actually test drive there.

Thanks Maura.

 Tom,

brand is Chen Seng...?? ya.?? obviously a knock off but seriously the castings and such are spot on with a great motor.? same pot metal stuff as some of the name brands and they held up for years.? I am sure they broke because I overtightened stuff.? age I can't say as I traded for it many years ago and it was old then.? I have to agree with Jan on the three wheeler...? for only half more wheels it was twice the headache.?? Thanks to all who responded, I am getting the list by digest so I get lost on who said what.? :-)

Several years ago I purchased a new band saw.  Right about that time there
was several reviews published about 14" band saws.  Going strictly from
memory, highest ranked was the Delta, then Jet,  and then a couple others. 
Near the bottom was Grizzly.   The price follows pretty closely.  
Jet and Delta are very close, the biggest difference, besides color, is
that Delta and angled lower blocks.  This puts the lower blocks closer to
the cutting area.  I settled on a Jet and it's given me a lot of good
service.

I don't respond very often, but I really appreciated the opinions about
Band Saws. Especially the personal experiences shared.

Just watched the wood sculpting shows I recorded last night from the DIY channel. What a treat, seeing Ol Don and Sandie on TV. I really enjoyed watching Don draw, carve and of course, play guitar. It was a really nice show that I enjoyed very much. If you are missing this series, then you are missing out on some real quality TV. 

Be very proud, Don and Sandie.

Unfortunately not everyone is blessed with access to DIY.
Cablevision in Jackson, NJ does not carry it. Boo Hoo.

I just received this note tonite.
I just thought I would drop you a note to tell you Cliff passed away 
late last week.  His service isn't until this Saturday, Jan. 17 at Hope 
Lutheran Church in  Moose Lake. 
Visitation is at 1:00 and service at 2:00.  He went down hill pretty 
fast.  He even wasn't able to do his famous pancakes on Christmas Day.  
He sure was blessed with a great talent.
And a wonderful spirit!!! 
I have not found an Obituary but will pass it on if I do.

I have a friend in Springfield who also thinks Grizzly makes a good saw.  

Think I'll have to make a field trip to the showroom in Pennsylvania.  My
understanding is you can actually test drive there.

Thanks Maura.

Personally I have the grizzly 14" with 6" riser and I just love it.  And if
you can get it at a grizzly tent sale, you really can't beat the value for

Hey Donna,

I'm sure we will be traveling with a copy of the show. See you in April at Kerrville. Don got asked to do something at the Rhode Island NEWC Retreat so we will be there in the fall instead of going back to Kerrville.

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!

	2009
Message-ID: <496EBCDA.6070900@usfamily.net>

Paradise Center for the Arts announces the Marv Kaisersatt's display of 
woodcarvings

Faribault, MN- January 2009 - Paradise Center for the Arts, a 
multi-purpose art center located in Faribault, MN, is pleased to 
announce an exhibition of the "Marv-elous" woodcarvings of Marv 
Kaisersatt. Humorous, smart, funny, charming and amazing - words that 
apply equally to Marv and his work.

Each small vignette is carved from a single piece of basswood (Marv's 
"signature") and tells a story: The window that doesn't QUITE fit into 
the space made for it by the bricklayers; the fishermen who reel in a 
fish twice the size of their boat; or the dragon whose flaming breath 
lights the cigarette of the female knight on her horse.

Born in 1939 in Montgomery Minnesota, Marv chose to make his career from 
yet another area in which he excels: math. As a teacher in the Faribault 
school system for nearly 30 years, Marv has been carving for even 
longer. In 2007, Marv held his first, and, he insisted at the time, last 
exhibit of his work. However, some well-placed wheedling leveraged his 
insuppressible enthusiasm and a second show will run from February 20 - 
March 28th, 2009. This second exhibit will showcase new work as well as 
some of his "classic" pieces as well as his "rejects." Interactive, 
educational, and fun, Marv Kaisersatt's February exhibit at the Paradise 
will inspire and fascinate. This show will also include original 
drawings, an interactive "Name That Piece" element, and answers to FAQ's 
that Marv gets about his work.

An artist reception for Marv will take place February 20, 5:00 - 7:00pm. 
The public is invited to attend, and we look forward to hearing Marv 
talk about his exhibit, his ongoing work, and future plans.

Hello Corey,

 

Great job on the Goose Egg--nice face!!  However, you are going to have to
slow down, or there won't be any good wood for the rest of us carvers. :>)

Finished this one today at the carving club. Its a Santa egg carved from a
goose egg size.  I think I will just leave this one natural.

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

Chris,

 

"I was hoping for the semi nude shot of me sprawled across the Caddi."!!?
Gee, thanks for that bit of mental scarring <G>.  What a great caricature
though. already know where the antlers and the monkey are gonna go (what
year was that Caddi?).

 

Unfortunately I missed the first four episodes which included yours.  Can't
wait to hear why you got thrown of from Leah's set, and what's this 4am in
the morning ****!  I know it's biased on my part to think the show rates a
prime time slot, but burying it in the wee hours of the AM on the episodes'
first run!?    Is there bad politics between the producers of Woodsculpture
and the DIY management or somethin'?  

 

Keep on Carvin'

episode it was filmed at Arrowmont in Gatlinburg.(I got thrown off the
set...go figure TV people)  Hope to get a couple ready for Congress the new
place looks great. As far as TV its about time they got rid of the has beens
Vic Hood  Peter Ortel....... seriously it was an honor even to be considered
for TV, I think they just wanted a foreigner when they called me. Its funny
3 days of filming for 30 minutes.I was hoping for the semi nude shot of me
sprawled across the Caddi.  Best wishes to all for the New Year.

    Mike,

   It was a 78. I think it has to do with sponsorship, but an email to DIY will help to show interest in the Woodsculptors series. I am home in Tennessee now for a few days got cold while I was gone. I am going to be teaching up your way in August talk to Ken Kohl he is setting up the class if interested. Fletchers Farm in Vermont is going to have a quilting and woodcarving event the last week of August David Sabol and Leah and me I know will be there its a beautiful place

Chris,

 

Thanks for the warning.  Don't think I'll be at Fletcher Farms. have a
teaching gig of my own up in the Adirondacks.  Lessee.If you're driving, one
way or the other you're going to pass through NY on the way to VT.  I'll
make sure to alert the proper authorities <G>.

 

Gee, I've seen you in action at the NEWR (though not for a loooong time),
and think you're a pretty fair teacher, but teaching at the same event as
Mush?  Now I am impressed.  

 

Seriously, if you happen to go East-West on Rt90 getting there or coming
home, give us a yell.  

 

Keep on Carvin'

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 have been busy teaching my class, carving miniature wolves, doing antique

 family. Wondering now if I should paint or stain or some combination of the  
two.  Of course my back has chosen this particular week to go out on  me, 
never had a problem before, I hope it isnt a foreboding of my future.  Feeling a

Well, getting ready for a long carving week and show in the Valley has given me lots to do for the past few weeks. New class is the full-sized hummingbird with inserted tail feathers. I made a 17 page instruction booklet in color with illustrations and patterns for my students to start with. Then I was making go-bys when someone wanted one for a present- so there went my example. Then I got the 'brilliant' idea to make some of these out of hardwood- like I do the hummer pins. Weeeelllll- easier said than done. I put together one in lacewood and one in figured maple yesterday- and it wasn't easy. Today I'll put some oil on them and they should look real good- if not, then I've wasted a lot of time and energy and fingerprints. Next time I will consider using power instead of only my hands.

Meanwhile, a lady ordered more than $200 of the hummer pins blanks in a bunch of different hardwoods- Amboina burl to zebra, and even one in ebony. After cutting all those out I decided to make a few to sell and to promote the blanks. Again with hand power I did 6, with one each in Redwood burl, Amboina burl, Box Elder, Ambrosia maple, lacewood, and koa. I'm looking forward to putting some finish on them today- they should be pretty.
So, between making copies of instructions, cutting out blanks and sanding my little heart away I've been as busy as possible. Funny- it takes 2 weeks to prepare for a one week class, and then 2 weeks afterwards to recover. Ya gotta love it.

Hi, Charley,

I am not an expert, but I can tell you what has worked for me.  I 
made a photo area in my studio for a relatively small investment.  A 
lot depends on what you are photographing and the sizes.  Since I 
have limited space and I need to photograph both free-standing 
in-the-round items and wall hangings I needed something more 
versatile than a small photo box.  I have posted a photo of my setup 
on picturetrail at 
http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/13574569   For wall 
hanging items, the backdrop is a sheet of peg board covered with the 
gray fabric.  I use "modified" drapery hooks for hanging.... don't 
laugh, it works.  :)  For in-the-round items,  I used a window shade, 
replacing the shade with the gray fabric. It works great for me.

I like a neutral gray background rather than the white or blue that I 
have seen in some of the boxes.  As you can see there are two 
swing-arm lamps with incandescent flood bulbs.  There are also two 
small gooseneck lamps on the shelf.  When I shoot, I place those in 
front of the subject at about 45 degrees to the sides and often below 
the subject.  They also have incandescent bulbs.  I have full 
spectrum overhead fluorescent shop lights that are on for ambient 
light as well.  My camera can be used in manual mode,l so I never use flash.

Good luck!!  IMHO you are on the right track looking for ways to take 
the best possible photos!!

Marcia (aka Mush)
South China, Maine, where we are also going back into the deep 
freeze.  We're expecting -20 tonight!  Brrrr!

This last summer i did a Indian head bust out of a 15 lb block of walnut,, turned out really well and my neighbor who used to work for Disney as a carver? said it was very good and would have valued it at over $1000, anyway i
 sent it to my daughter for a Xmas present, would you believe that the PO in her town got broke into and now all the police and PO inspectors say they can find it even tho the guy who did the breakin turned himself in the next day,, something smells here lol.?? Yea i had it insured but am being told that i have to prove how much i paid for the wood and all the red tape the govt throws at you.? Am so upset over this?? it was a one of a kind.??? almost made me want to give up on doing anymore carving work.? In fact i did for awhile and now trying to get back into it.? Now im looking for any roughouts i can get ahold of to get back into the swing of things?? have some hand tools and power carveing tools.? i enjoy htis alot as it keeps me busy and the mind from thinking about this heart stuff,? had a ICD implanted 5 years ago and now might have to go in and get it changed out? the battery is whereing down,, they dont just replace the battery?

just plugging way with the knife :)? Learning as I go.? Take care of that

Well, getting ready for a long carving week and show in the Valley has given me lots to do for the past few weeks. New class is the full-sized hummingbird with inserted tail feathers. I made a 17 page instruction booklet in color with illustrations and patterns for my students to start with. Then I was making go-bys when someone wanted one for a present- so there went my example. Then I got the 'brilliant' idea to make some of these out of hardwood- like I do the hummer pins. Weeeelllll- easier said than done. I put together one in lacewood and one in figured maple yesterday- and it wasn't easy. Today I'll put some oil on them and they should look real good- if not, then I've wasted a lot of time and energy and fingerprints. Next time I will consider using power instead of only my hands.

Meanwhile, a lady ordered more than $200 of the hummer pins blanks in a bunch of different hardwoods- Amboina burl to zebra, and even one in ebony. After cutting all those out I decided to make a few to sell and to promote the blanks. Again with hand power I did 6, with one each in Redwood burl, Amboina burl, Box Elder, Ambrosia maple, lacewood, and koa. I'm looking forward to putting some finish on them today- they should be pretty.
So, between making copies of instructions, cutting out blanks and sanding my little heart away I've been as busy as possible. Funny- it takes 2 weeks to prepare for a one week class, and then 2 weeks afterwards to recover. Ya gotta love it.

Hi John, welcome to the group! I am in Council Bluffs over on the  muddy
misouri :) across the river from Omaha. Sounds like you are doing well in
your carving, enjoy it. Too bad about the lost or stolen carving. That
really stinks! Hope it turns up some where.

Subject: [Woodcarver] Photo box
Message-ID: <a06020401c5a13c33ed44@[192.168.0.111]>

There is something you can purchase called a Cloud Dome for very 
small pieces.  You can also make a box frame of 2 x 2 s of the 
appropriate size and cover the outside with  white plexiglass.  The 
purpose of the box is to defuse the light you use to light the piece. 
You will need a hole in the plexiglass to point the lens through. 
Use a tripod, a low ISO setting, 200 or less, and the highest 
resolution your camera allows.  You will need to 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.  Take the photos in a dark room 
and use at least two flexible stand lamps that can be aimed from any 
angle.  Experiment with the lighting until you get what you want. 
Sometimes it's better to aim the lights away from the box.

There are also some good tips at this site 
http://www.silversmithing.com/1photo.htm
It's for photographing jewelry but a lot of the information is 
useful.  I find that the reflection off the finish on the carving is 
the most difficult to deal with and this site addresses that issue.

Friends,

For photos on the cheep, I spent 57 cents at Wally-World (what my son calls 
Wal-Mart),  and bought a light blue on one side and dark blue on the other 
side poster board.  I layed it on a chair - it'll stay put when a carving is 
placed on the chair, taking care not to crease it but have it gradually 
sloped.  Then lights may be setup around it, but I just use my flash camera 
on a tripod.  I found that when the carving is placed away from the 
background, no shadow shows in the picture.  I have used a single poster 
board for several years now with adequate luck, BUT, my goal is to place 
pictures on the web.

Just my cheep 2 cents worth.

Hello,

I just found this email list during the past week and was happy to 
see it. I've done a variety of wood working over the years. Got me 
through college and grad school. I'm basically a whittler who enjoys 
picking up a piece of wood and carving things for family or friends. 
I did work for a scale miniature furniture company a number of years 
ago and found I had a knack for carving miniature Queen Anne chair 
legs and miniature duck decoys by eye. I enjoy making static ship 
models of 18th and 19th century naval vessels and am investigating 
doing some miniature ship figureheads..

I recently stumbled into chip carving and have been attempting to 
learn the techniques from books and DVDs. Just worked up to my first 
simple practice rosette (which looks like a first attempt), but I got 
hooked pretty quickly on the variety of things that can be done using 
the techniques of chip carving with relatively few tools. Hope there 
are some others on the list who are also interested in chip carving 
and willing to discuss it. I'm sort of working backwards with wood. 
Did most of my early miniature work in cherry and walnut and now 
using basswood and other softer woods.

Wood carving is a great diversion from my job which is working in IT 
as a systems manager, etc. at a nearby university. Definitely a good 
change of pace.

I botched up my first carving today so I decided to try another egg. Didn't
turn out to bad.  I call him Frankie Linquini.. Frankie is carved from a
basswood hen egg, painted in oils and acrylics and finished with oil and
satin lacquer

Message-ID: <20090125174919.DB9901BF95E@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!
E-mail me off the list for additional information and instructions.

John- if you go to my web site and then to my students' page you will see a very nice Panda that my daughter carved. We just got some images from the web and made a pattern from them. Feel free to use that design if you want.

Subject: [Woodcarver] Carving pouch
Message-ID: <6.2.3.4.2.20090128124319.056a8370@cumail1.campus.cu.clemson.edu>

Hello all,

Does this list have a FAQ for routine questions/answers that can be 
checked out?

I've been trying to locate a carving accessory that I saw in a 
picture recently (I believe it was in a chip carving book) but there 
was no reference. The item appeared to be a relatively small open top 
denim "pouch" that appeared to be hooked over the wearer's belt or 
waste band and sat easily on top of one leg with a wire or plastic 
loop at the top to hold it open to catch wood chips from hand carving.

I have a full sized carving apron with a similar pouch that covers my 
lap completely, but seeing this smaller version caught my eye since 
it would lend itself much more to carrying it around when I get to go 
shopping or other places where I invariably find myself waiting. I 
also spend a fair amount of time waiting for my wife at times (a good 
bit of time over almost 40 years :-)). The thought occurred to me 
that something along this line would work well in a car or on bench 
and allow me to carry small projects with me on shopping trips.

If anyone happens to know of something similar to what I'm 
describing, I'd love to get one. Guess I can always sweet talk my 
girl into sewing something together for me, but I'll pay one way or another.

Regards,

Jay Henson

Thanks for the reference, LarryO, but it sounds like he's talking about
something not as large as our Pouch Carving Apron.  Ours pretty much covers your
entire lap with the pouch out front to catch chips.

Jay ... I'd be interested in seeing a smaller version if you find one. 

Thanks!

Carving Lap Pouch Sounds interesting! I got a camping dishpan, vinyl and 
folds flat, and is square from Cabela. I carve into the openned dishpan. 
When getting this I was looking for and was thinking about an army surplus 
canvas wash basin that I remember my family used camping when I was young.

This sounds interesting.

Subject: [Woodcarver] Wednesday Woodcarver Chat
Message-ID: <20090128230645.338E12908BE@smtp1.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!
E-mail me off the list for additional information and instructions.

Maybe we should as a few questions, like what are you carving? (maybe over used),  Benefits of power vs sharps carving? (been done but could worth a revisit),   Who's gonna win the Super bowl?

Hi Byron -

I was just thinking things were unusually quiet and wondering what  
would generate some new traffic.

How about:  What topics re folks interested in seeing discussed?  I'll  
keep a list and interject a new topic when things get slow.

What are you carving?  Nothing ... I know ... really sad!
 
Power VS Sharps carving?  Power for birds and fish is the only way to go ...
sharp edged tools just for the pure pleasure of shearing through a nice piece of
wood quietly.
 
Who's gonna win the Super Bowl?  Hoping for the Cardinals - 21 to 17 ... but it
probably will be the meal ol' Steelers - 35 to 14!  :o)
 
Who's going fishing next weekend?  Got to do a carving show in Cedar Rapids, IA
next weekend ... besides, can't see the point of ice fishing.
 
ValentineS Day carving for my sweety?  In her wildest dreams!   LOL!
 
Good try on getting things going Byron!

Well it's been exactly one year since I began carving. As I have said before
I have enjoyed carving so much more than any hobby I have ever had. Thanks
to all of the folks that have helped me out!  Here is my latest carving, a
new woodspirit that I hacked out today :)  It's carved on the corner of a 1
1/2 x 1 1/2 x 6 inch long basswood stick. Finished in tinted oil and satin
lacquer. Thanks all for looking at my crap for the last year and looking
forward to learning much more from all of you! You can check the woodspirit
out here:

All righty I'll open up a discussion if you'd all like to help me out a bit.? This year will be my first year of formal teaching at a woodcarving roundup.? This is basically a free class but I can charge for the wood blank.? 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?? Any?else you can?think of?would be great and all suggestions will help alot.? Thanks

?

I would start with a chainsaw myself.
 
Actually I have carved several pine type trees lately for a miniature  
carving seane I working on.  I took a 1/2? inch dowel and used by table  disk sander 
to tapper it from about the 2 1/4" inch mark and then mixed the  paint color 
I wanted with snow tex and they came out pretty good.  I also  turned a 4x4 on 
the lathe and did the same paint job and it looks pretty good  also.

Hello,

I am currently working on a relief carving of a sailing ship. I got the pattern/insloiration from Bill Judt's Relief Carving Treasury. So farm I have completed the removal of the background, and began to carve some of the detail. I'll post a picture when completed.

PS: The last time the cardibals won a championship, they were the Chicago Cardinals.

What are you carving?? Nothing ... I know ... really sad!

Power VS Sharps carving?? Power for birds and fish is the only way to go ...
sharp edged tools just for the pure pleasure of shearing through a nice piece of
wood quietly.

Who's gonna win the Super Bowl?? Hoping for the Cardinals - 21 to 17 ... but it
probably will be the meal ol' Steelers - 35 to 14!? :o)

Who's going fishing next weekend?? Got to do a carving show in Cedar Rapids, IA
next weekend ... besides, can't see the point of ice fishing.

ValentineS Day carving for my sweety?? In her wildest dreams!? LOL!

Good try on getting things going Byron!

Like the old days Byron mentioned, Jan - first find a tree (Pine spuce maple? ect ect ????), Cut tree, sharpen carving tools and knives, then carve away everything that does not look like a tree.

Well it's been exactly one year since I began carving. As I have said before
I have enjoyed carving so much more than any hobby I have ever had. Thanks
to all of the folks that have helped me out!? Here is my latest carving, a
new woodspirit that I hacked out today :)? It's carved on the corner of a 1
1/2 x 1 1/2 x 6 inch long basswood stick. Finished in tinted oil and satin
lacquer. Thanks all for looking at my crap for the last year and looking
forward to learning much more from all of you! You can check the woodspirit
out here:

All righty I'll open up a discussion if you'd all like to help me out a bit.? This year will be my first year of formal teaching at a woodcarving roundup.? This is basically a free class but I can charge for the wood blank.? 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?? Any?else you can?think of?would be great and all suggestions will help alot.? Thanks

Hi, Maura,

Personally,  I would opt to do the acanthus leaf design.  It's just 
something I've wanted to do and haven't had the opportunity to do 
it.  And I like it! :)  As a teacher myself, especially with students 
with a range of experience and skill levels, I would want to go 
through the entire process, from design, to transferring, to 
carving.  I think there is something valuable to learn in every 
step.  You are right...not many people do teach this, so I am glad to 
see you doing it.  Good luck...wish I could be there!
Marcia (aka Mush)

Hey Maura - certainly sounds interesting to me. I'll sign up. I'd be more interested in leaves - acanthus or preferably oak leaf & acorns. I would be more interested in oak since that's the type of stuff I'd be more likely to carve for greenman, arts & crafts style trim, etc.  I'd be fine either way - but would prefer to try transferring the pattern myself. What kind of wood would you be using? Basswood? How thick?
 
I am still working my way through Chris Pye's Introduction to Relief Carving book - where he uses a V tool to outline, then gouges to lower the backgorund. I think your class on this type of work will go over well at NEWR - as long as the tool requirements aren't too heavy.

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.

Or you can look up the pattern by Mack Sutter's two books, Floral  
Woodcarving and Flower pattern Woodcarving. Better go basic relief pattern and  few 
patterns but not to many patterns, Less patterns will make teaching easy as  
possible and less hassle. Or Basic grapes & leaves or Shell design or  acanthus 
would work but not too advance or expert level.  Few patterns in  different 
groups. Depend on student knowledge, ability, skills and  type of tools they own.  
Good luck Maura, have fun teaching.
