Mine is from a sitting dragon of Floyd's that I bought from him the 2nd year we taught at the NEWR together. He also had one lying down. The style of the one I carved is very similar to the shelf sitter he has in the recent WCI. The shelf sitter is lying on its stomach and has its claws and head dangled over the edge of the shelf. Its wings are relief carved against its body for strength and easier carving I would guess. I haven't put my finger on them yet, but there are small differences in this one that I like better than the others (and the others are worth carving still). Bottom line...

I just joined the group two days ago and I have done nothing but just drool over all the emailings and websites that everyone has. I have been carving for 10 years but am still a novice carver of which I can not complain. I am happy to be able to carve as a hobby, I was a carpenter till a car accident disabled me so had to do something with myself and always wanted to carve so I have a few carvings I have done. I have some reliefs, very few in the rounds that is hard for me to do, bird carving I happen to be lucky to live a mile away from a bird carver who teaches at his house so I do have some nice birds and do enjoy them, I have done chip carving and like that when waiting at doc's offices and the such, and right now have started getting into some golf ball carving which has turned into a lot of fun. I am not that computer literate either but am going to try to join in once in awhile so you may see me lurking around in the corner but I will have a smile on my face.

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!

It has been a pet project of mine to get one started for awhile now and I have to say it was a great success. We had 13 members attend. We discussed the goals of our club, first and foremost to be for friendship, to promote woodcarving and for education and networking purposes. We then voted on our official club name. We made plans to have an announcement placed in our local paper. It is to be free, non political, no work, no commitments and open to all carvers, burners, scroll saw and lathe artists, marquetry, stone carvers and fine furniture builders. We went around and did introductions and then had a show and tell. I am very happy that all went well and I couldn't be happier with our location. It was held in a local church parish house. The building was beautiful, almost 150 years old and kept in pristine condition. It is situated on 144 acres of parkland which includes one of the oldest cemeteries in the country. It is the family cemetery of the wealthy Vanderbilt family so of course it was also quite beautiful. We will be meeting on the 1st wed of every month.

Tonight we had the very first monthly meeting of the brand new Staten Island Woodcarvers club. It has been a pet project of mine to get one started for awhile now and I have to say it was a great success. We had 13 members attend. We discussed the goals of our club, first and foremost to be for friendship, to promote woodcarving and for education and networking purposes. We then voted on our official club name. We made plans to have an announcement placed in our local paper. It is to be free, non political, no work, no commitments and open to all carvers, burners, scroll saw and lathe artists, marquetry, stone carvers and fine furniture builders. We went around and did introductions and then had a show and tell. I am very happy that all went well and I couldn't be happier with our location. It was held in a local church parish house. The building was beautiful, almost 150 years old and kept in pristine condition. It is situated on 144 acres of parkland which includes one of the oldest cemeteries in the country. It is the family cemetery of the wealthy Vanderbilt family so of course it was also quite beautiful. We will be meeting on the 1st wed of every month.

Besides, that's a low blow. The North East Retreat is only 5 hours away from my section of NY and is on Columbus Day Weekend. Even if I could make the GOW, Sandy Holder has first claim on me in Michigan since she invited me to the Woodcarvers Roundup way back and I owe her for the fine hammer dulcimer music that's on my DVD. And then I already get Heck from a certain Ohio woodcarver 'cause I buzz down route 90 too fast on my way to the Artistry in Wood. Ah, it's tough being in such demand (eyes rolled Heaven-ward and a "yeah right" grin on my face). Your right though, someday I need to make a pilgrimage out that way, catch the Swedish-American Museum and other things Scandinavian. teach Doug Evans how to carve .etc. FYI, I already got the good word about you an Ol' Don being there. how to you think Tony pitched the invite to me?

Don keeps saying that we will go to fewer events the next year but then more events sound too good to pass up. We are already booked through the first half of 2010. Rhode Island was a late addition to this year but will give us an excuse to visit friends in Mass. and see my grandchildren in NY. We are expecting twin grandbabies in June. Can't wait to see them.

Compared to the MVAWA show we used to do near Amsterdam and Albany, it was better because it had more vendors. Lots of vendors, very high level woodcarvings (and wildlife art) on display, and great attendance. The foot traffic even had some non-carver/collectors mixed in which is rare for a show that size. Met a whole lot of students from my classes at the Northeast Woodcarver's Roundup (and Lancaster) and everyone is looking forward to July. Even met "Young John" and his dad who were there from Ohio.

A relaxed time to whittle and share those tall stories. For the Lancaster County WoodCarvers' Festival "Spit and Whittle" was the room Fox Chapel Publishing / Woodcarving Illustrated had at the Lancaster County Woodcarving Festival where attendees were encouraged to come and whittle and share stories. The Club had some demonstrations lined up for the room like Jim Sebring demonstrating and helping others do his tramp art, and Jack Kochan sharing about power carving (mirco ) and Fox Chapel had Jan Orgema there sharing carving with children of all ages. Chris Lubkemann was also there for a short time doing his twig carving. It was a popular spot. Hope Fox Chapel will work with us to do it again next year!

Like Maura and others and I said. someone like that is very rare in woodcarver circles. It makes me wonder sometimes why they let me hang around . I've got to e-mail Andy, but if you talk to him first, apologize again for me if I came on a little too. ummmm. over agitated when I discovered the shorted table. I know how tough organizing a show is, and he didn't need me adding to the problems. I was pretty jazzed about Yvonne having a table because even though we do arts-n-crafts shows together, your show was a unique chance to have her participate equally at a woodcarving show. It's going to be a hard sell, but there's next year, and I can probably sweet talk her into another go. I'll just owe her a pound of flesh. well. another pound of flesh.

Unfortunately we didn't get to set-up until late Friday and thanks to some selfish, "that'-their-problem-now" action by one of the artists, we only had one table when we got there. Not the unusual behavior we're used to from folks in woodcarving shows, which made it that much harder to swallow. Then that artist, after pointing fingers elsewhere, packed up and left Saturday night when her sales weren't that great. I'm hoping the organizers have long memories because despite saying they wouldn't be back anyway, I believe this artist counted on the incident and their early exit having been forgotten by the time applications go out for next year. I'm a firm believer in bad karma coming around to bite you in the arse .

Can anyone enlighten me? Sorry for your troubles Mike. There always seems to be one in every crowd. I always said the best part of carving for me was the wonderful, friendly and helpful people I met along the way. I had one guy in my parks dept class who always thought that I was his personal tutor. He would monopolize my time to the dismay of myself and my other people. He was very arrogant and pushy, although on his way to being a great carver. One day I had to cancel at the start of the class due to car trouble on route. Everyone was there waiting for me but they all understood and began to carve amongst themselves and have fun and made due without me, except for Roberto. He threw a huge foul mouth fit, insulting and scaring all my good people. It went on for about 20 minutes until he was asked to leave by the centers security staff. When I heard what he had subjected my people to, I was livid but I absolutely refused to call him. He never came back. I and my students have been so much happier since. Funny how it only takes one to disrupt an otherwise good time. Hopefully your problem person will also disappear off the face of the earth.

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.

Not because I'm mentioned in it(although that's nice) but I guess I didn't realize how much I missed that section. I had noticed it was missing for a while now and was hoping you hadn't done away with it. When I saw it in the index today, I immediately smiled. It is nice to see related posts put together with input from all different carvers, sometimes its difficult to keep it right in my head when reading my emails because there are so many other emails jumping in the middle. Thanks Mike for having done it as long as you did. Thanks Doug and Loren for putting the effort into bringing it back.

I have many different style chucks. Some are threaded some are MT's depends on how big your turning. I would also suggest just like in woodcarving we all have to have lots of toys to play with. So you could go to the AAW (american association of woodturners) which is the home page and find a club near where you live, I would bet that you could find at least one club if not more. Turners are always buying and selling toys and that is a good place to maybe pick up used turning items plus ideas. Our clubs are always open to guests just like carvers.? I see that you are wanting a chuck for turning platters, etc for chip carving so you may want to look into oneway's they are a little on the pricey side but only need one hand to use them. You can get them threaded with threaded adapters for all types of lathes or you can get MT's(morse tapers) which fit inside. On that note you can also make MT's out of wood I have several of those and you can also make homemade jigs for holding platters onto the lathe. Check out local library, also they usually have good selections of dvd's, books, vhs tapes. If you want more info let me know cause I got lots.

Attach a round wooden disc (3" diameter, 1.5" thick or so) to your faceplate. Flatten the outer flat surface using your lathe. Rough cut the plate blank you wish to turn. Using white or yellow glue, attach the plate blank to the wooden disc on your faceplate sandwiching a piece of brown paper bag between your plate and the wooden disc. After turning the plate use a chisel to separate the plate from the disc. The brown paper bag allows for easy separation. Scrape and sand smooth. For small plates, try hot glue to cut down on the wait time for your glue to dry. For turning an occasional plate, this is another option. This Dutchman likes to save some $$$.

Message-ID: <20090609200926.7511C6DCA7@six.pairlist.net> Hey there everyone, This is an odd question, but it is carving related because it has to do with the International Woodcarvers Congress. We are moving into the brand new $26 million dollar Waterfront Convention Center in downtown Bettendorf, Iowa. That's the good news. The bad news is that our seminars are going to be held in an area that is carpeted with very expensive commercial grade carpeting. We have thought of different things to use to cover the carpet ... plastic sheeting / too slippery ... canvas material / too expensive ... masonite sheets / again too expensive, etc. etc. Then we had a suggestion of using a product that landscapers use. It's called "underlayment fabric for under rip rap". We have a sample of the item and it looks and feels like a cheap grade of indoor/outdoor carpet. Now the question ... is there anyone out in woodcarving land who might have a connection to a landscaping firm that might be able to supply us with such a product. I understand it comes in rolls up to 16' wide. We would need about 260' of the 16' material. It would be nice to find a place in the Midwest that wouldn't be excessively far from the Quad-Cities area if it would have to be picked up. Being that the Affiliated Wood Carvers Ltd. (sponsors of the Congress) is a non-profit organization that runs on a very tight budget, we're in "begging mode". :o) In other words, the cheaper the better. LOL! Thanks for your time. If you do come up with something, please send it to me direct so we don't clog up these chat sites. Even though it's carving related (somewhat), it's not a typical carving question that wouldn't benefit a whole bunch of folks unless you would be putting "rip rap" in your yard.

At first I thought they were OK with the idea of chips being clean up fairly easy from a good industrial carpet. When we first talked to them we invited them down to the shop while a Mike Shipley seminar was going on to show them what the "mess" would look like. But as time went on, they were liking the idea less and less. So that's where we're at. Carol and Larry Yudis, Show Chairs International Woodcarvers Congress Affiliated Wood Carvers, Ltd.

I have had 2 very recent experiences with carpeting and carvers. The first was on the carving cruise where they had a short nap commercial carpeting down in the meeting/carving rooms. After the first day of seeing the mess we made they came in and covered the whole thing with plastic sheeting that was like heavy-duty Saran wrap. The seams were taped with duct tape and it kept well for the whole week of walking and chair moving. It wasn't slippery at all because your shoes went down into the nap of the carpeting. The second was at our new location for the TWG seminars in Kerrville, TX, a new convention center too.

The important thing here is that the owners of the carpet were doing what they deemed necessary. Some place would frown on anybody but them putting down some protective covering that could possibly do more damage than prevent, at least in their eyes. In all cases talk to the managers of the any establishment used for carving. Tell them what you're going to do, and let them decide what to do. Let them be responsible for any damage done by any covering or not covered.

Cause yep just like the rest of us I am always looking for the inexpensive side of things but also want safe and easy, too.

Hello all, There is a great way to turn plates, platters on the lathe and save the?large expense for?a chuck. Attach a round wooden disc (3" diameter, 1.5" thick or so) to your faceplate. Flatten the outer flat surface?using?your lathe. Rough cut the plate blank you wish to turn. Using white or yellow glue, attach the plate blank to the wooden disc on your faceplate sandwiching a piece of brown paper bag between your plate and the wooden disc. After turning the plate use a chisel to separate the plate from the disc. The brown paper bag allows for easy separation. Scrape and sand smooth. For small plates, try hot glue to cut down on the wait time for your glue to dry. For turning an occasional plate, this is another option. This Dutchman likes to save some $$$.

Hi Pat, I guess my first place to start would be are you wanting to do platters for chip carving? If answer is yes than you want to think about a chuck that holds a tenon that is easier to sand off than the other way which is where the chuck jaws set on the inside edge of a recess not usually seen on platters that are chip carved. Then you have to decide how much money you want to spend cause you can get some that are very reasonable but take a little extra work to get them on the wood correctly (some you need to grow about 8 hands), others just one hand but they all range in price. That is why I suggested looking at the national website for a chapter(club) that might be close to you. But watch out cause if you think carving is addictive, the lathe is worse trust me, the husband says I could be gone for years and never know how long I have been gone lol.

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.

When loaded down up, you know it's loaded but I can easily carry it just the same and it's proabably close to half the weight of the tackle box with storage boxes that I was using. So it is very carryable... sorry I know that is not a word. The holes are designed so that the tools I have sit in it nicely and seat themselves. At least for Ramelson, Denny, Two Cherry and Flexcut it works great. The tools do not clang together either. They will not fall out and clang if tipped sideways, of course if you are practically turning it upside down it will be a problem. The holes can be enlarged if need be with a sanding sleeve on a drill to fit a specific tool. The only thing that does not fit is my Ron Wells/Mike Shipley knives as the have a larger handle on them. I suppose I could enlarge a couple holes but I would rather not do that. They fit nicely in the drawer as it is. The whole center section could be converted to more palm tool storage. It was noted that Phil and Vicki Bishop are using this tote and also Bob Clarke made the smallest one he makes especially for Dave Stetson. I don't think the pro guys would mess around with it if it didnt suit their needs. So that is my take on it, hope this helps Merrillee.

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.

With one of the Starlink-IRC servers in the window, click on "Connect to Server" If the Starlink Random Server is not in your mirc program you can add it: Click the "add" button. Where it says "Description" type "Starlink Random Server" Where it says "IRC Server" type IRC.STARLINK-IRC.ORG Port should be 6664,6665,6666,6667,6668,6669 (all of those with no spaces between them) and "Group" is Starlink-IRC 5. Once connected, you'll see lots of scrolling text. When that stops, type /join #Woodcarverchat in the window at the bottom and hit your "enter" key.

I found the pattern in the Carving Magazine. While I was working on it, I thought about doing a carving of Smokey Bear (Only you can prevent forrest fires!). Anyways, I have searched on Google for a pattern, but have spent too many hours looking at links. I was wondering if anyone on our list would have a pattern for Smokey Bear, or knew of some where I might be able to get one. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You all!

Well my wife and kids got me a new tool box for Fathers day. I was really tired of fishing though the tackle box storage containers. I saw another carver have one of the smaller ones and checked out Bob Clarkes website and had to have one. I really like it and it's perfect for taking to the club, has room for a carving book or two, project, gloves and 44 carving tools. Here are some pics and a link to Bob Clarke's page. I have a full woodworking shop and like to make boxes but honestly for the time and money, it is hard to beat. http://iowacarver.tripod.com/id4.html?

Message-ID: I did a Smokey Bear from the pattern in the Carving Magazine. Change the paws so they come out from the body instead of across the front, add shovel and a hat. I have carved a baseball bear, tennis bear, gardening bear and a chef bear by changing the arms and adding a hat of different sorts. You can see a couple of my bears at: _http://houseofharpool.webs.com_ (http://houseofharpool.webs.com) go to photo gallery then carvings by Arthur. I know it is not a great web site but it does what I want it to do for now. Arthur Carving in Oregon. YIn a message dated 6/14/2009 5:22:24 P.M.

It's been a while since I have been on the list. Recently I have been carving a characature of a bear standing on his hind legs. I found the pattern in the Carving Magazine. While I was working on it, I thought about doing a carving of Smokey Bear (Only you can prevent forrest fires!). Anyways, I have searched on Google for a pattern, but have spent too many hours looking at links. I was wondering if anyone on our list would have a pattern for Smokey Bear, or knew of some where I might be able to get one. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You all!

But I'd think if there is a young man entering the family it's GOT to be a requirement for permission to marry that he carve your daughter a Love Spoon. No? You're going to have to educate that young man! :-) Looking forward to NEWR and especially your Bamboo NA Flute class. I have found a whole stand of bamboo across the Hudson from me that I have the owner's permission to harvest as much as I want. I'll bring some samples. See you in a few short weeks.

When loaded down up, you know it's loaded but I can easily carry it just the same and it's proabably close to half the weight of the tackle box with storage boxes that I was using. So it is very carryable... sorry I know that is not a word. The holes are designed so that the tools I have sit in it nicely and seat themselves. At least for Ramelson, Denny, Two Cherry and Flexcut it works great. The tools do not clang together either. They will not fall out and clang if tipped sideways, of course if you are practically turning it upside down it will be a problem. The holes can be enlarged if need be with a sanding sleeve on a drill to fit a specific tool. The only thing that does not fit is my Ron Wells/Mike Shipley knives as the have a larger handle on them. I suppose I could enlarge a couple holes but I would rather not do that. They fit nicely in the drawer as it is. The whole center section could be converted to more palm tool storage. It was noted that Phil and Vicki Bishop are using this tote and also Bob Clarke made the smallest one he makes especially for Dave Stetson. I don't think the pro guys would mess around with it if it didnt suit their needs. So that is my take on it, hope this helps Merrillee.

I didn't envision it being this skinny as this was to be a test for a larger piece. I cut it out and man was he skinny. I sat down and just started carving it and I decided halfway through to make it a farmer. I think it turned out ok. He is about 4 inches tall without the base.

Thank you for so much details. I am getting a little tired of the rolls and shoe box I carry my tools in. Perhaps its time to get a little more professional :) Later! Merrilee _____ Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2009 11:35:25 -0500 From: iowawoodcarver at gmail.com To: woodcarver at carverscompanion.com Subject: Re: [Woodcarver] Early Fathers Day Gift Merrilee, this is the largest box he makes. When loaded down up, you know it's loaded but I can easily carry it just the same and it's proabably close to half the weight of the tackle box with storage boxes that I was using. So it is very carryable... sorry I know that is not a word. The holes are designed so that the tools I have sit in it nicely and seat themselves. At least for Ramelson, Denny, Two Cherry and Flexcut it works great. The tools do not clang together either. They will not fall out and clang if tipped sideways, of course if you are practically turning it upside down it will be a problem. The holes can be enlarged if need be with a sanding sleeve on a drill to fit a specific tool. The only thing that does not fit is my Ron Wells/Mike Shipley knives as the have a larger handle on them. I suppose I could enlarge a couple holes but I would rather not do that. They fit nicely in the drawer as it is. The whole center section could be converted to more palm tool storage. It was noted that Phil and Vicki Bishop are using this tote and also Bob Clarke made the smallest one he makes especially for Dave Stetson. I don't think the pro guys would mess around with it if it didnt suit their needs. So that is my take on it, hope this helps Merrillee.

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!

Hearing about those old tricks of Harolds reminds me of all those old tricks and tips of yours.? I think you mentioned at one time that you had maintained the copyrights on all those tips and tricks you have published in your columns in Chip Chats.? Have you ever thought about coming out with a series of CDs covering your columns over the years? Recently I remembered a series of columns you did on eye mounds on the face, and tried to find the?old issues that covered the larger and smaller eye mounds.? Not remembering how many years ago you did that, I could not even begin to find them. I would gladly purchase a CD that had those columns and others?readily available and catalogued in some kind of retrievable format. How about it?

I had been working on a little generic pattern and yesterday I cut this out as I wanted to see if the pattern as I had it would work on the bandsaw. I didn't envision it being this skinny as this was to be a test for a larger piece. I cut it out and man was he skinny.

Message-ID: Hi All, It seems that it has been pretty quiet on the list lately, but I'm busy carving right now. I am frantically working on a relief carving of a Great Blue Heron on a slab of cypress. I want to enter the carving in a local juried Art Exhibit that could get me some great exposure if accepted. I need to have it finished by July 8th for the judging process. I have it pretty well roughed out but that was the easy part. Now I have to get down to the nitty gritty and start detailing. That is where I am having problems and need your help and expert guidance. I have encountered several problems and am not sure which way to go. First, I plan on painting some of it with acrylics and not being very knowledgeable on the painting scene, I will need some advice in that area as to sealing it, color choices, mixing, etc. Secondly, I haven't done much bird carving and am not sure whether to burn or carve the feather details Third, what would be the best way to do the background--smooth it, stamp it????? Finally, I goofed up one part and am not sure how to correct it,. The part in question is the two feathery "doo-dads" that come off the rear portion of the top of the head. I stupidly removed too much wood in that area and am not able to carve them in. Should I try to glue a chunk of wood in that area and then carve it or would it be better to carve two thin strips and glue them into position? HELP!!!! I will take some pics of it and put them on my picture trail page sometime this evening so if you want to see it better, check there later on tonight. I know "youse" guys will come through and give me the guidance I need as you have never let me down in the past. Thanks all and will keep you posted on the progression.

He was pretty much a full-time carver until the economy started to go south and he had to go get a real timeclock job. At one point he was driving truck, and if he still is, that could account for unanswered email. We reviewed one or two of Greg's CD's in some older issues of WOM - since 2000. (Really do need an up-to-date index for all these years of WOM.) ;=) Matt *********************************************** Matt Kelley: Woodcarver, E-zine Editor, W3E Coordinator Woodcarver Online Magazine, W3Exchange Programs, Carver Resource Files at: http://carverscompanion.com Carving Shirts & Gear at: http://carverscompanion.com/cclogostuff/logostuff.html CelticCarver WoodWorks: http://celtcarver.com On Jun 29, 2009, at 7:41 PM, Corey Hallagan wrote: > Friends in Carving: Please support our List - visit > carverscompanion.com/List/Support.html to donate. > > > Anyone familiar with an indian carver by the name of Greg > Wilkerson?

See ya at Cherry Ridge! Merrilee ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dry is one thing, crumbly is another. You can spray it with 50/50 water/alcohol. I have also soaked wood for a few minutes in the kitchen sink. Just enough to penetrate into the top layers. I don't know if anything will help "crumbly" except for getting a new piece of fresh basswood.

We use ca glue (superglue)just another term for it to fill cracks,voids while we are still turning but we also have power and very sharp tools that allow us to be able to cut the wood unlike carving. True crumbling is a bad issue no one wants to talk about but from a turners stand when your done with the carving you seal the wood with wood hardner it should last a very long time. I have used it on many items I have turned that have had termite damage, wormholes,etc only downside is that you are stuck with is that nothing will go over the top of wood hardner or none that I know of. There may be a ton of people out there that know some other ideas. Good luck.

The other possibility that the wood was not stickered and dried adequately when first milled. Basswood is very touchy and can be ruined easily if not milled and dried properly. Usually the best basswood is cut during the late fall or winter and milled in the early spring while the temps are cool. The milled wood needs to be stickered and exposed to sufficient air movement to remove the moisture. If you see lighter or white colored pockets in the wood, you will probably find they are softer and punky. This will also mean that the pockets are probably thru the entire piece of wood and will often be difficult to carve for any detail, even with sharp tools. Best would be to use as a practice and learning board. Dick Allen Merrilee Johnson wrote: > > > Hi Phil, > There aren't really any bad areas - the whole thing is punky.
