Checking my files, I found plans for Christmas ornaments in the following

Issue  25; 2005, Issue No. 33; 2008, Issue No. 45. There are probably more, but 
those  are the ones I noted in my personal carving index.

Good Evening All -

When I finally made it to the PO on Saturday,  I found a box waiting  
that journeyed all the way from Fife, Scotland.   Inside was a very  
nicely done carving of a heavily mustached gentleman with a scarf  
around his neck, standing with his hands behind his back.  Thanks to  
John Archibald for another wonderful addition to my collection.  After  
all these years there are a considerable number of exchange carvings  
in this house,  but I always manage to find room for another.

Thanks again John!

Matt

Donna,
This will give you an idea of the style.  I've been a big fan of Floyd's
dragon patterns.  This one I carved guarding a stack of books (for my
daughter).

http://www.woodendreamz.com/images/bookdragon5.jpg

IMHO his shelf sitter is the best yet of the three patterns I've seen.

Thanks Merrilee,

My oldest, Laura, tried to beg the original off me.  I convinced her to let
me keep it, and I would carve her one on a stack of books.  When I completed
it later and forgot about the books I recovered by carving the stones he was
on into a book and attaching it to a second piece carved into more books.
Sometimes there's nothing like an "Oooops" to make you creative <G>.  A
couple of the titles were "Draco, the Legend" and "Fire Breathing 101"

 

There are more pics.

Well I did manage to get two of the Santa/Elf ornaments carved this last
week and just finished painting them last night.  I received this style
ornament from Bill Russell in New York State in the latest W3E and he was
nice enough to include a blank for me to carve one myself. They are carved
from 1/2 basswood and approx 2.5 x 6 inches. Finished with acrylic and oil.
You can view the photos on my website at the link below. In the one photo
with 2 ornaments in it the painted one is Bill's version and the nude one is
my first one. You can view them here: http://iowacarver.tripod.com/id5.html

Thanks as always for looking!

Thanks, Mike, I get the idea. That is a very cute dragon- and a good idea to put it on books, but that makes it not a shelf sitter. Does Floyd's have an extended tail or how does it sit on a shelf?

Sorry,
Didn't 'splain myself very well.  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... If you're a dragon lover you're gonna wanna copy of
this issue, fer sure.

Keep on Carvin'

Thanks, Mike, I get the idea. That is a very cute dragon- and a good idea to
put it on books, but that makes it not a shelf sitter. Does Floyd's have an
extended tail or how does it sit on a shelf?

Wow the dragon picts are great but the carving is better!!!! 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.

Thanks Merrilee, 

My oldest, Laura, tried to beg the original off me. ?I convinced her to let me keep it, and I would carve her one on a stack of books.? When I completed it later and forgot about the books I recovered by carving the stones he was on into a book and attaching it to a second piece carved into more books.? Sometimes there?s nothing like an ?Oooops? to make you creative <G>.? A couple of the titles were ?Draco, the Legend? and ?Fire Breathing 101? 



There are more pics?

Hey Mike,

Just read that you will be teaching at the Retreat this October. Don is going to be heading up the special project so we will see you there.? By the way if you can get time off to go to the Retreat, you need to take time to come to the GOW.? :)

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.

Message-ID: <ca4.40364817.375886bc@aol.com>


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.

Great to hear of a new carving club! Being part of the Lancaster County
WoodCarvers has helped my carving greatly as well as my fun and fellowship
time.

Yeah, and if I had an RV and was finished with the 8 to 5 "thang", Yvonne
and I would make ALL the carving gigs like you two, and the decorative
painting shindigs too.

 

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 <G>.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?  Look forward to seeing you there.
You haven't been to the NEWR in a long while. you owe me HUGS.

 

Keep on Carvin'

Just read that you will be teaching at the Retreat this October. Don is
going to be heading up the special project so we will see you there.  By the
way if you can get time off to go to the Retreat, you need to take time to

Hey Mike,

Why don't you just give up on that 9 - 5 thing and join in on all of the fun? Seriously, it will be good to catch up with you guys for more than a flying visit at Dayton. 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.

Off to Alaska for a couple of weeks - no motorhome - no carving - no computer - just vacation. I know - it's a tough life....

Sandie

Got a wonderful W3E exchange carving from Lon Oleson of Aberdeen, South Dakota in today's mail.  It's a perfectly sized bark carving of a light house that fits nicely on the door frame to my work shop.  Thanks Ole.  The light white stain on the structure works great in contrast to the natural color of the bark.  Super piece.

I'm sorry to read of your physical problems.  I wish you a full and speedy recovery from the surgery.  Thank you again for the very impressive exchange gift.  I join you in your praise of all the work performed by Matt Kelly that makes this possible.

I see your headin to MO, that is where I was born and raised and yep even worked at silver dollar city for several years but just don't go to many rendevous cause I can't carve for long periods of time and I have way to many unfinished carvings of which the hubby says makes good wood stove starter materials :-). So thanks for the welcome and will be checking in loved your website.

Hey, hey, hey.... The Lancaster Woodcarving and Wildlife Show made it onto
YouTube.  Unfortunately they didn't make it back into the Spit & Whittle
area where Woodbutcher was teaching.  Some pretty good footage despite that.
This is just the 1st of 5 clips (and the shortest).  Enjoy.

I talked to her prior to the filming and in her defense; she was shooting it
with her still camera in movie mode and had limited memory.

 

Jan didn't have a booth. he was in the back teachin' youngins which was even
more worthy of video time IMHO.

 

Yeah Jan we did have fun, and it was a very good omen running into you and
Thea at the Info Center on route 81 <G>.  I was hoping to scoop you and tell
stories about it before you got back from teaching, but.  Despite a really
bad start personally, the show was very, very good.  For its size, I'd say
great.  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.

 

The bad personal start?  Yvonne and I were each supposed to have adjacent
tables.  She does decorative painting and had several pieces that qualified
for the "Wildlife" part of the show.  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 <G>.

Mike

                We apologize for the bad start! Wish we could have avoided
it. Please be assured our memory is quite good and long! That exhibitor will
not be invited back!

                We did have a good show for all the changes that this one
represented with Place and Date changes and the great addition of the "Spit
and Whittle" Hope more carvers, non-carvers, and collectors will come next
year!

I talked to her prior to the filming and in her defense; she was shooting it
with her still camera in movie mode and had limited memory.

 

Jan didn't have a booth. he was in the back teachin' youngins which was even
more worthy of video time IMHO.

 

Yeah Jan we did have fun, and it was a very good omen running into you and
Thea at the Info Center on route 81 <G>.  I was hoping to scoop you and tell
stories about it before you got back from teaching, but.  Despite a really
bad start personally, the show was very, very good.  For its size, I'd say
great.  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.

 

The bad personal start?  Yvonne and I were each supposed to have adjacent
tables.  She does decorative painting and had several pieces that qualified
for the "Wildlife" part of the show.  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 <G>.

I have heard the phrase "spit and whittle" many times but have never had  
the opportunity to see or be involved in one.  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.

Maura,

                "Spit and Whittle"  in my mind would be sitting on the front
porch whittling and spitting watermelon seeds or tobacco juice or whatever
off the edge. 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! Thanks to Shannon
Flowers for taking the initiative!

Jeff,

The bad start was far outweighed by others at the show and the show itself.
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
<G>.  

 

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.

 

Keep on Carvin' 
-Mike B.->

I talked to her prior to the filming and in her defense; she was shooting it
with her still camera in movie mode and had limited memory.

 

Jan didn't have a booth. he was in the back teachin' youngins which was even
more worthy of video time IMHO.

 

Yeah Jan we did have fun, and it was a very good omen running into you and
Thea at the Info Center on route 81 <G>.  I was hoping to scoop you and tell
stories about it before you got back from teaching, but.  Despite a really
bad start personally, the show was very, very good.  For its size, I'd say
great.  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.

 

The bad personal start?  Yvonne and I were each supposed to have adjacent
tables.  She does decorative painting and had several pieces that qualified
for the "Wildlife" part of the show.  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 <G>.

 

Keep on Carvin'

Hey Pat

                I agree! I wish she would have shown much more of the
carvings!

                I took Pete's 2 day at the Lancaster County Carve Around! He

Maura,

Pretty bizarre behavior (even for NYC <G>).  Sounds like it turned out well
though.  Tell you what. the student-from-Hell story that takes the prize is
Lori Corbett's run in with the second coming of Jesus student from another
Galaxy.  'Course it was told only as Lori can tell them and she had to send
it to us off-line.  She gave him a full refund so he would leave.

 

The first time I heard of a "Spit-n-Whittle" I think, was one the Michigan
Roundup folks have later in the year at the same fairgrounds.  The NEWR
folks have one at Cherry Ridge in September.  Haven't been to one (yet), but
gather it's a minimum organization, highly spontaneous, let-the-chips-fly,
coming together of woodcarvers.

 

Keep on Carvin'

I have heard the phrase "spit and whittle" many times but have never had the
opportunity to see or be involved in one.  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.

joe, i got told by the dr. that my blood sugar was too high.[145] and i told them did not want meds. would take it down naturely.

put myself on a low calorie, diet, watched my carbs, walked on a treadmill all winter, come spring treadmill and my bike.
still watching my calories and carbs. got 10 more i want to lose. but it is coming off hard.lol.

 i like myself better and my blood sugar was 99 this morning.

 my blood pressure is way down also. was 115/66 when last checked.

 feel so much better. but like i told jan. now to get rid of all the wrinkles. lol

Hi Pat,

With your sugar dropping from 145 to 99, does that mean that you aren't as sweet?

I too went on a diet dropping a little over 40 lbs since we came back from Puerto Vallarta the end of January. I still should loose a little more but don't know if I will. My blood pressure is already low that I have to stand up a little slower or I get dizzy.

How's Gene doing and did he go on your diet by default?

That would be interesting. . . . but I'm really waiting for the report of success in getting rid of wrinkles. I have both and wouldn't mand a 'magic-bullet' that got rid of excess weight and wrinkles too.
I'm afraid if I lost the 20 pounds I should lose then my wrinkles will worsen!

Hi Kathleen,
Even though it's not my style of fan carving, it is a fan and it is  
wood.  I'm always surprised at what comes up under the name fan-carving.

I really appreciate you thinking of me and posting this item.  It is  
heartwarming!  Thank you so much.
Best to you.

Hi Pat, 

Tell me what brand is your lathe and I might be able to help you out. I turn and own a few lathes so there are lots of websites just like the carving ones. Just have to know what the brand is and size or if you know your thread count.

Friday I was doodling and came up with this ornament after some refining.
Saturday the carving club had a table at a local craft show to bring in some
new members. I did a 6 hour shift yesterday doing demos and carving this
ornament. I really like how it turned out. He is carved from 1/2 x 5 1/4
tall x 2 3/4 wide basswood. Finished with acrylics, BLO and satin lacquer. I
have included the pattern for anyone who would like to carve one. Thanks as
always for looking.  You can view it here :

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.

Thank you Pat, I haven't gotten to do much carving really, just an ornament
for about the last week. Next weekend I have the place to myself while
everyone else is away ... YeAH!

I do enjoy the painting Pat. I kind of feel that when the carving is done
and the painting begins the hard part is done and I can't screw it up to bad
now... lol.  Would love to see old "ricky" raccoon!  I have a large 10 inch
cowboy body cut out and a seperate head. I might work on that or maybe a
couple more ornaments. Not sure yet if I am ready for a 5 day project like
the cowboys are.

Matt----Thanks for all the work you do putting the WOM together.  It  is a 
great resource and I look forward to each issue. I for one am so glad that  
"notes from the Net" is back. 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.  Now we all have to start posting  again so 
that there is some good material to pick from.

Thanks for a great issue, Matt!  As Maura said notes from the net was one of my favorites and its nice to have it back!  The other favorite are the show pictures (this one Metro Photo Gallery).  Seems like I can't get to them even when in Michigan so its nice to have a peek at what is happening!  Thank you again - all of you that take the time to do this for all of us!

Pat-
I have that same lathe- circa 1947. To get the faceplate you need the adapter that has the same threading. I got mine at Woodcraft.

Hello Pat,

Penn State Industries carries faceplates and chucks for your lathe. Old Craftsman lathes (single tube and double tube) accepted MT#1 (morse taper) adapters and had a threaded headstock spindle sized at 3/4 x16.

http://www.pennstateind.com/
The Old Woodworking Machines web site has information on many old woodworking machines and probably has info on yours as well.
http://www.owwm.org/

I have a working single tube Craftsman lathe probably from 1960.

Hi Pat, 

You can go online to technatool which carry a wide variety of styles of chucks, also I so that someone sent you a link to Penn State they do have some good things but be wise sometimes you get what you pay for. 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.

I really enjoy Williams work. That is one thing I have not tried, burning on
an animal.  I have a Tom Wolfe raccoon carved that I will give it a try on
one of these days. Looking forward to seeing it.

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. 

Karen (spit)

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 $$$.

Make some chips,
Marty

Hi Pat, Go to Sears and get what you need for the lathe. The last time I checked they still carry the 3/4" x 16TPI  face plates and other stuff. A whole lot cheaper than woodcraft.

  Pat-
  I have that same lathe- circa 1947. To get the faceplate you need the adapter that has the same threading. I got mine at Woodcraft.

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.

Oh yes, Byron, we've had long discussions about the situation.  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.

Hi Larry-

I'm gonna answer here in case other clubs have similar questions. 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. They had a similar type of carpeting and told us to do whatever we wanted and they would clean it up afterward. They put plastic down in a few areas where it was especially dirty- bark carving; or where there was a lot of painting and there was a possibility of spilling paint.
Most commercial grade carpets in places like convention centers are made to be cleaned up with a good vacuuming.

Very good answers, Donna.  

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.

Byron

Hi Larry-

I'm gonna answer here in case other clubs have similar questions. 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. They had a similar type of carpeting and told us to do
whatever we wanted and they would clean it up afterward. They put plastic down
in a few areas where it was especially dirty- bark carving; or where there was a
lot of painting and there was a possibility of spilling paint.
Most commercial grade carpets in places like convention centers are made to be

Excellent point Byron.

We're gonna get everything down on paper before proceeding.  This isn't anything
like out at the fairgrounds where "anything goes".

But then we weren't in such a beautiful building out there either.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Very good answers, Donna.  

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.

Byron

Sounds like "Visqueen" to me and it is available in large rolls at 
almost any lumber yard or hardware store.

Hi Jan and Big Dog,

I don't know what that material was they used to cover the carpet. It did 
seem to work well but I imagine it wasn't cheap. It seemed to survive the 
whole week. It must have been some material that they had aboard because 
after the first day, when they saw the mess on the floor, they covered the 
carpet.

Cloth painters tarps would work but they would be expensive.

Jan, did you ever use up that Amber Oil you won on that cruise?

Hey lil' Joe,

I figured anything you were involved in would be expensive being the classy guy
that you are.

Even to the point of covering the very floor you walk on!!!   :o)

You gonna make it to the Congress again this year?  Hope so ... we'd love to see

Chris Whillock, Editor of Carving Magazine, and Shannon Flowers, Editor of

Hope you two can make it.

I used to use chucks all the time for turning platters but now am using a vacuum system, like I said the one with the most toys wins :-).... pretty easy to make a simple vacuum chuck but I had all the equipment since I am a retired carpenter so having air compressor, etc, but I have even before that just turned platters between centers with tennis balls on both sides so as not to put dents into the wood. 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 $$$. 

Make some chips,

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.

You can usually get used carpet pad from carpet installers for free. 
BTW it is a great surface to lay carvings on to protect them when 
carving or to wrap them in for transporting.  It is also very non 
slipping.  I use it to set large carvings on in my truck so that they 
don't slide around.

We'll have to check all these great possibilities out.
 
We really appreciate the feedback we've gotten.
 
Hopefully it's helped other carvers who may come across the same situation.

Hey lil' Joe,



I figured anything you were involved in would be expensive being the classy guy

that you are.



Even to the point of covering the very floor you walk on!!!   :o)



You gonna make it to the Congress again this year?  Hope so ... we'd love to see

Sharon again ... oh yeah, you too.

Hope you two can make it.

BD When we had our carving  cruise There was a WONDERFUL materil used to cover

the rugs Most likely Joe D might know more about it Blow in his ear and see what

he has to say



                                   Woodbutcher Jan

****************************************************

Hi Jan and Big Dog,



I don't know what that material was they used to cover the carpet. It did seem

to work well but I imagine it wasn't cheap. It seemed to survive the whole week.

It must have been some material that they had aboard because after the first

day, when they saw the mess on the floor, they covered the carpet.



Cloth painters tarps would work but they would be expensive.



Jan, did you ever use up that Amber Oil you won on that cruise?

Another great idea, Ron.  Thanks a bunch.

I just wish I would have known we had to cover the floors earlier so we could
have time to check out everything.

We need to get something done by a week from this weekend. 

Arghhhhh!!!  Panic time!!!  :o)

You can usually get used carpet pad from carpet installers for free. 
BTW it is a great surface to lay carvings on to protect them when carving or to
wrap them in for transporting.  It is also very non slipping.  I use it to set
large carvings on in my truck so that they don't slide around.

Larry,

     I haven't heard anyone mention it yet but you can sometimes
get fairly large rolls of heavy wrapping paper which, with a little
duct tape , will cover the floor fairly well.

Hey Jersey Tom,

We're checking into that heavy paper that they use as an underlayment under wood
flooring when they install it.

Just don't know if it will be tough enough with folks sitting on chairs and
moving them in and out.

Thanks for the idea.

Subject: [Woodcarver] Wednesday Woodcarver Chat
Message-ID: <20090610214708.04D59290BCF@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!

Thanks a bunch for the kind words, lil' Joe, but Carol and I wouldn't be able to
pull off such an extravagant affair without the untiring efforts of our Board of
Directors, their spouses and the countless volunteers that help out each year.

That's what makes the International Woodcarvers Congress the "Greatest Show on
Earth"!!!  :o)

Hi from beautiful downtown Anchorage,

Don and I were also at the event in Kerrville. Everyone was so worried about the carpet but the hotel manager said not to worry - that it would vacuum up without a problem.

Larry, perhaps you can contact Bill Bang of the Texas Woodcarvers Guild and/or the Inn of the Hills Convention Center in Kerrville, Texas. Perhaps the Center could talk to your Center and convince them that clean up was not a problem. Nothing like the word of one manager to another to help ease the situation.Again plastic was put down under the bark carvers and under the sharpening class. But you would need much less plastic that way.

If I'm out of touch, Donna can probably give you the contact info.

 Hey Doug,
If your in the Marietta area Thursday morning, try to come to East Cobb Senior Center and carve with us. Carving from 9:00 TO 11:00 AM. There's usually 20 to 25 carvers show up every week.

 Let me know if directions are needed.

Well the wife and daughter are away for the weekend and I had yesterday off
so no honey-doo for me this weekend. 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. 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. The blank was cut out of a 2 x2 basswood and it was carved
on the base. Finished in acrylics, BLO and satin lacquer. You can view it
here: http://iowacarver.tripod.com/id5.html  Thanks for looking as always!

  Well the wife and daughter are away for the weekend and I had yesterday off so no honey-doo for me this weekend. 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. 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. The blank was cut out of a 2 x2 basswood and it was carved on the base. Finished in acrylics, BLO and satin lacquer.

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.

the shop photos.

What a great gift!  The tote looks wonderful.  How is it to carry?  Especially loaded... it is heavy?  The tools look like they stick into the box well.  My friend's husband made one for her but the tools tip out easily if she even tilts the box a slight bit.  So tell us the whole scoop ;)  Thanks!

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.

Subject: [Woodcarver] Sunday Wooodcarver Chat
Message-ID: <20090614163857.715641BFB52@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.

Finished up a new woodspirit today. Nothing special really just like to
carve these for a change of pace.
 It's approximately 10 inches tall, carved in basswood and finished with BLO
and Satin Lacquer.

Message-ID: <443006.37253.qm@web55701.mail.re3.yahoo.com>


Hello all! 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!

Corey,

Nope, butternut.  Thanks for asking
 should have put that in the
description.  Wait until the satin poly hits it.  It will be VERY obvious.

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.

Mike,

If it were basswood, that would be my first choice, but not butternut.  The
grain and wood color is too special.

 

I have seen butternut carvings where non-brown areas are painted
 have a
Clydesdale by Anita Karl done that way.  I always thought that technique
would work well on a whitetail deer.

 

Keep on Carvin'

Hello all! 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!

Mike,

If it were basswood, that would be my first choice, but not butternut.? The grain and wood color is too special.

?

I have seen butternut carvings where non-brown areas are painted? have a Clydesdale by Anita Karl done that way.? I always thought that technique would work well on a whitetail deer.

?

"fix you take progress photos?" ?  Ummm... fix no, I didn't <G>.  Wish that
I had.  This spoon was cut out Wednesday and worked on parallel to studying
for a Network+ certification exam next Friday (the company pays for the exam
only IF I pass it).  Now that the spoon is finished, I have a cake topper to
carve for the wedding, which is July 3rd.  Much pressure?  Heck no, none
whatsoever <G>.

I do have something though... found a series of step-by-step photos I did
for a 3-D kokopelli (my design from pteroglyphs).  It wouldn't take much to
finish the series.  Is there anyone out there interested?

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.

Nice spoon Mike. 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. Theresa will be with me this year but no Celine. She has to stay behing to catch up on some school work this summer. <grrrrr>

It does help indeed Corey!  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 :)

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.

Corey

Hi Dick,

 

Thanks for the offer. I didn't read this until Saturday morning. I stayed
near the airport and did not have a car. I was in class from 3-11:30 Pm
Friday, Saturday 9-9:30 and then left for the airport to swing back at 8 AM
Sunday. One of the business owners in our class was from Marietta -Allen Cox
Automotive. I also have a niece that teaches in Marietta.

 

Thanks again for the offer! It would have been more fun but paid less bills
!!

 

Doug Evans

 

 

 

Hey Doug,
If your in the Marietta area Thursday morning, try to come to East Cobb
Senior Center and carve with us. Carving from 9:00 TO 11:00 AM. There's
usually 20 to 25 carvers show up every week.



 Let me know if directions are needed.
Dick Phillips

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.

Well the wife and daughter are away for the weekend and I had yesterday off
so no honey-doo for me this weekend. 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. 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. The blank was cut out of a 2 x2 basswood and it was carved
on the base. Finished in acrylics, BLO and satin lacquer. You can view it
here: http://iowacarver.tripod.com/id5.html Thanks for looking as always!

How about a cigar box?  That's how Harold Enlow does it.  If it would make
me carve half as good as he does, I'd carry my tools in two cigar boxes.

It does help indeed Corey!  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, 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.

Corey

Not only does Harold carry his tools in a cigar box, somehow they bang  
around in there, yet come out sharper than anyone else's tools!!

Harold once said that he puts fine sandpaper on the bottom of the cigar box and the motion of the airplane hones them.

Message-ID: <20090621200827.66C4229067A@smtp1.av-mx.com>


Happy Fathers Day to all you Dads!!



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.

Not only does Harold carry his tools in a cigar box, somehow they bang around in there, yet come out sharper than anyone else's tools!!

Matt Kelley 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Some years ago we had the pleasure to host a carving seminar with Harold Enlow 

Two sessions of 3 days and 12 students in each session 
They came with HUGH tool boxes  some on wheels  and tools galore 
They all came early as to be REALLY ready for it 
Harold came out of our kitchen and had a 6x6 zip lock  bag in his hand with 2(TWO ) knives and 3(THREE) small chisels 
It just was a real sight to see the looks on those people faces 
We had a great chuckle about it and had a great time carving with Harold

I am not sure what you call something like this. I don't think it is a
spirit but anyway I started this at the club yesterday and finished it this
afternoon. Carved in butternut, about 3 1/2 x 8 inches tall. I really like
carving butternut and it finishes so nicely. Finished with BLO and satin
lacquer. I really like carving butternut. This one is the first one I have
carved in this manner. Got the nose a little to deep but like the way the
droopy eyes came out which is what I wanted.  Check it out here:

Corey,

Did I read that right? Started it yesterday. finished it this afternoon?
Ok. it's official. I hate you! <G> Jealousy is a terribly ugly thing though,
isn't it?

 

Seriously, great job, and you don't need to categorize it anywhere except
beautiful.

 

BTW, feel like carving a wedding cake topper?  Needs to be finished by July
3rd. "piece-o-cake" for you, right? ;-)

Keep on Carvin' 
-Mike B.->

Hey Ivan!? 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?

Thanks Joe and Mike. Mike it really isn't that big of a carving. Hey, no way
on the cake topper! Talk about pressure on having a carving turn out well. I
have until fall 2011 to fret about mine... lol.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


  I am not sure what you call something like this. I don't think it is a spirit but anyway I started this at the club yesterday and finished it this afternoon. Carved in butternut, about 3 1/2 x 8 inches tall. I really like carving butternut and it finishes so nicely. Finished with BLO and satin lacquer. I really like carving butternut. This one is the first one I have carved in this manner. Got the nose a little to deep but like the way the droopy eyes came out which is what I wanted.  Check it out here: http://iowacarver.tripod.com/id5.html   
  Thanks as always for looking!

Subject: [Woodcarver] Wednesday Woodcarver Chat
Message-ID: <20090624173709.C54C91C02AD@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.

Message-ID: <6C4D04CA-CDBC-497F-9B32-D74066ADE531@comcast.net>

Friends in Carving -

The Woodcarver List has been in constant use since 1996, and many  
folks have been members since the early days. The result is some  
friendships of long-standing, and the conversational short-hand that  
sometimes comes with such friendships.

To help new members more quickly "meet" other members, a List Member  
Who's Who has been established, and is open for business effective  
today..

For more information or to submit your biography,  visit the List home  
page at http://carverscompanion.com/List/List.html.

Right now there is just one lonely biography in the Who's Who, so I  
encourage all of the 850 plus members to submit their entry and  
photo,  especially those who are particularly active or are members of  
long standing.

Carve On!



Matt

Matt,

   Much as I might like to add my biography the index for Who's Who doesn't include the letter "W", which makes it kind of hard for a guy with an email that starts with that letter!

   I lurk and learn at the feet of masters, please keep up the good work!



Thanks,

Greeting Everyone!

    Hope you are having a great summer.  Here in Illinois it is extremely hot and humid and my shop is located in my garage.  I usually wipe my gouges down with a little oil to prevent rust.  My father was saying that they used to have a bar that you put with your tools to prevent rusting.   Have any of you heard of such a thing?

Thanks

I don't know about the bar but I save the little packets that come in
vitamin pill bottles etc. I dry them on *very* low heat in the oven then
toss them into my tool boxes to absorb moisture. They need to be redried
every few weeks-the more you have the less often they need to be dried.
Hope this helps.

Shoot! I should be just about as good as Harold then... cause I am carring my stuff in shoe boxes and zip lock bags too.  It does make people look funny when I start rummaging around in it to find stuff.  I thought I'd get better if I had "real nice looking" equipment!

How about a cigar box?  That?s how Harold Enlow does it.  If it would make me carve half as good as he does, I?d carry my tools in two cigar boxes.

It does help indeed Corey!  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!

Message-ID: <20090628154738.8BFBD1BF8C7@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 Corey,

I went back to the midwest so did just a little chip carving since it is easy to just have one knife and a few pieces of wood made some coasters and gave them all away to family members but did not get any picts of them. One of these days I will have to give a try to a figure cause I really like your farmer guy like I said reminds me of some of my neighbors. Keep those picts a comin'.

Well the wife and daughter are away for the weekend and I had yesterday off so no honey-doo for me this weekend. 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. 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. The blank was cut out of a 2 x2 basswood and it was carved on the base. Finished in acrylics, BLO and satin lacquer. You can view it here: http://iowacarver.tripod.com/id5.html Thanks for looking as always!

Well the wife and daughter are away for the weekend and I had yesterday off so no honey-doo for me this weekend. 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. 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. The blank was cut out of a 2 x2 basswood and it was carved on the base. Finished in acrylics, BLO and satin lacquer. You can view it here: http://iowacarver.tripod.com/id5.html Thanks for looking as always!

Thanks Karen! BLO is short for Boiled Linseed Oil.  Sorry I shouldn't do
that! Give a figure a try. Most folks like to start with little figures,
check out Jack Prices book Carving Small Caricatures
http://www.littleshavers.com/All_Books/20175.jpg. You won't waste a lot of
wood either as they are carved out of 1 x 1 sticks.

Hey Corey, 

I think I actually have a couple of those books and I just may have to go downstairs and get some wood and start one after I mow the yard this afternoon. I know Rick and Theresa and consider them to be good friends, Rick is always giving me great tips I just don't get to carve and practice and much as I want to. I know stop my whining and suck it up :-)....After reading some of the posts I can tell you if carrying my tools like some of my friends or rubbing elbows with those friends, I should be a great carver haha. But the point for me is I enjoy it and have fun and that is what is important for me. Enjoy the day.

Hey Corey, 

I really like the face in butternut great job!!! I have to ask a question since I am fairly new to computer lingo or maybe it is painting language but what is BLO mean????? I went back to the midwest so did just a little chip carving since it is easy to just have one knife and a few pieces of wood made some coasters and gave them all away to family members but did not get any picts of them. One of these days I will have to give a try to a figure cause I really like your farmer guy like I said reminds me of some of my neighbors. Keep those picts a comin'.

Message-ID: <ce5.53a91a4b.377a1a8e@aol.com>

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.

Been  pretty quiet out there.  You all must be busy carving. I got up at 
6:00  AM and started carving my mini cane segments for the WCI project 2. Mr.  
Bloomquist, I hope your carving that cake topper!!  :)

Good Afternoon all!

  I am in need of your great knowledge concerning wood.  I am carving a welcome sign on basswood that has wormholes in it (I like the look :) so that's not the problem) but it is terribly dry and crumbly.  Is there any way to rejuvenate it so it's easier to carve or am I doomed to pick it until it falls apart?  Thank you all in advance for your great words of wisdom!

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.

Yep.....50-50 with alcohol and water.   spray on and let sit for a tiny bit and carve away.   Works great......

Message-ID: <49d3fd9d0906291641y71dfa2dbu28337f6cea65f0de@mail.gmail.com>

Anyone familiar with an indian carver by the name of Greg Wilkerson?  I was
interested in one of his CD's and had some questions but have not heard
anything after several emails over a two week period.  Wonderful carver. I
am wondering if it's one of those inactive websites now and don't want to
send money thru paypal if it is inactive. Does anyone here know if he is
still at it or if the email address has changed.  Here is his website:

Hi Corey -

At one time Greg was quite active on the lists (this List,  I think.)   
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

Good Afternoon all!
  I am in need of your great knowledge concerning wood.  I am carving a welcome sign on basswood that has wormholes in it (I like the look :) so that's not the problem) but it is terribly dry and crumbly.  Is there any way to rejuvenate it so it's easier to carve or am I doomed to pick it until it falls apart?  Thank you all in advance for your great words of wisdom! 
Merrilee

Good morning Maura!

   I was wondering if soaking it in water would help.  Because its so long I wasn't sure if it would be a good idea or not.  I might just set it outside now since its raining!  I'm not sure what I think would happen if I soaked it or not but I really like how its going and haven't gotten to the point of wanting to start over yet.  Thanks for your thoughts!  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.

Good morning Jan!

    I may have to get rid of it but I was hoping to get a different solution to the problem before I burn it!  I do like the look of old and skunky stuff but it may not be worth it in the end.  Thanks for your wonderful words of wisdom! LOL

If the basswood is crumbly, you may want to consider how it will hold
up after the carving is done. Will the sign be in a place where it
will be dry and undisturbed? If not, it may not last very long if the
wood is in this poor condition.

How about plugging the bad areas. Match grain and direction glue it in 
and away you go. Wood turners use instant glue to solidify punky wood also.

Pat,

     If you simply wait you'll learn, it isn't hard.
At least it's nowhere near as hard as the things
you ram your head into every time you fall
until you figure it out <VBG>.

Hi Merrilee, 

I agree that 50/50 works great, I also read one from someone that said about woodturners. 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. 

Karen (spit)

Good Afternoon all! 
? I am in need of your great knowledge concerning wood.? I am carving a welcome sign on basswood that has wormholes in it (I like the look :) so that's not the problem)?but it is terribly dry and crumbly.? Is there any way to rejuvenate it so it's easier to carve or am I doomed to pick it?until it falls apart?? Thank you all in advance for your great words of wisdom! 
Merrilee?

Merrilee, as a *very last resort*, after all the alcohol has evaporated you
can try soaking in the generic brand of Mop N Glow from your local dollar
store. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It will take a couple of
hours to dry and its a polymer so you will no longer have pure wood.

Hi, Merrilee,
Just had another thought on this subject.  There is a book out on 
carving flowers in which shellac is used cut 50/50 with denatured 
alcohol to stabilize and strengthen the wood while carving.  No 
guarantee, but it worked for that project and could possibly help 
with your+ project.

Good Luck!
Marcia

Good Afternoon all!
  I am in need of your great knowledge concerning wood.

Is there any way to rejuvenate it so it's easier to carve or am I doomed to pick it until it falls apart?  Thank you all in advance for your great words of wisdom!

Hi Karen,

   Could you put the finish (paint - stain- etc) on first (after the carving is finished that is) then put the wood hardner on?  I just saw that at the hardware store.  Funny that you mentioned it :)

Thanks for your imput!

Merrilee

Hi Phil,

   There aren't really any bad areas - the whole thing is punky.  When I get up against the design that's where its the hardest to get the cut clean it just sort of does funny stuff.  Maybe I'll try the glue and then sharpen my tools really good!

How about plugging the bad areas. Match grain and direction glue it in and away you go. Wood turners use instant glue to solidify punky wood also.

It will basically be covered in liquid plastic which will also soak  down 
into the fibers of the wood a bit.  It shouldn't affect your carving  but 
thought should be given to the finish you would use. My vote would be for a  
clear oil based poly-urethane.

Man alive!  I haven't been on the list writing in so long and now 1 question has dominated my life!  Thanks for this explaination Maura!  And for all the help from all ofyou!

Merrilee
 





 






Thank you!  But now what does   "its a polymer so you will no longer have pure wood."  mean? 
Merrilee

It will basically be covered in liquid plastic which will also soak down into the fibers of the wood a bit.  It shouldn't affect your carving but thought should be given to the finish you would use. My vote would be for a clear oil based poly-urethane.

If you get it carved, I would treat it with wood hardner before putting the final finish on it to strengthen the wood.

If the basswood is crumbly, you may want to consider how it will hold
up after the carving is done. Will the sign be in a place where it
will be dry and undisturbed? If not, it may not last very long if the
wood is in this poor condition.

I am carving a welcome sign on basswood that has wormholes in it (I like the look :) so that's not the problem) but it is terribly dry and crumbly.  Is there any way to rejuvenate it so it's easier to carve or am I doomed to pick it until it falls apart?  Thank you all in advance for your great words of wisdom!

Hi Merrilee, 

Yes you can stain or color or both anything that you like before you put the wood hardner on.? It just can't be touched up afterwards if the sign starts to fade a little.

Hi Karen, 
?? Could you put the finish (paint - stain- etc) on first (after the carving is finished that is) then put the wood hardner on?? I just saw that at the hardware store.? Funny that you mentioned it :) 
Thanks for your imput! 
Merrilee 
? 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
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.

Karen I think you will find woodcarvers tools are a lot sharper than

If the board has soft or punky spots through the board, probably means 
that the basswood was allowed to stay in the log form during warm or hot 
weather.  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.
