Looks interesting for flat tools, but not too > sure about knives and curved tools. Matt, I bought one about 6 months ago. I have the leather wheel and the glass wheels for sharpening, the slotted disks, etc. It seems OK for straight gouges, skews, chisels, and other tools. I have not tried my palm gouges on it yet, they may be too short handled to work easily although freehand on the top of the wheel may be fine. It is excellent for my woodworking chisels (one bevel, straight edge) and for my plane blades. I haven't gotten excited about the leather strop, but haven't used it yet on wide flat blades so my verdict is still out on that part. It cannot sharpen blades like a chip carving knife or other similar blade. You can't reverse direction of the wheel or sharpen both sides of the blade by turning the blade. I continue to use my leather hone in the drill press for that trick after using my DMT 600 grit flat stone. If you do no woodworking except carving, this is not the best sharpening system to buy. If you have plane blades and other flat blades to sharpen, this is a nice tool.

I prefer oils but requires more mixing etc. but I use acrylics more. Just depends on the mood. I use BLO after on acrylics and before of course on oils. Sealed with couple light coats of satin lacquer. Sharpening... I haven't figure out the fine art of sharpening. Most knives come good and sharp. Other tools and gouges unless they are a Denny or Drake, I send them to Rick Ferry for a good sharpening, then I keep them sharp with my Ultimate Sharpener from Chipping Away and my Floppy Wheel and Compound I got from Big Dog.

Thanks for getting the conversation rolling. Painting: My favorite paints to work with are oils VERY thinned with Minwax Natural stain (a la David Sabol). With a parrot in the house, I have to be careful about odors, so I have been using acrylics more and more, also very thinned. I don't seal the wood first since I use the paint more as a stain. I like to see the wood through the color. After painting I usually spray the carving with Krylon matte finish. There are new "extended drying time" acrylic paints. I bought some Atelier Interactive Paints a while back, but have not used them yet. I have no idea why. Sharpening: strop, strop, strop! The strop I use is a little different than most. The leather is not glued to the board. There is a hole in the board and one in the leather...and they are tied together. This allows me to use different compounds on each side. I can also bend the leather to fit inside some gouges and have cut the edgs of the leather to V and U shapes to fit inside of smaller gouges. The compound I use is silicon carbide in oil suspension., what Cape Forge uses and sells. I have a John Burke sharpener that has been just great. I did replace the muslin wheel with a very hard felt wheel. Unless an edge is damaged, that is what I use most. Interesting to see what everyone prefers.

Hi All!? Well I have been busy working on a second hobo for my little scene. This guy is a little taller at 7 inches and basswood of course. Ready to be painted. He will be placed in a small scene along with the previously carved hobo. This guy is a real wise acre and quite snarley when he has had a little bit of bottle. He is having a few words here with his painted friend. I will be carving a little camp fire to go in the scene. Anyway, you can see it here: http://iowacarver.tripod.com/ ??? and just go to the Latest Carving Page.

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.

But if I choose to paint my carvings, I prefer artists oils diluted with double boiled linseed oil. Sharpening:? Can take it or leave it, but it is a chore which must be done constantly. I greatly prefer power sharpening as I sharpen a lot of tools and do not like losing precious carving time..? I like my own little setup using Koch wheels and felt wheels. You can keep all the big expensive systems.? There is an art to sharpening and I spend a lot of time trying to teach my students to sharpen but it seems that some pick it right up and others have great difficulty. Some never get it.? It just takes a certain touch which I have decided that not everyone is capable of.

I brought it home to test drive it. I like what I've tried so far. To me, it isn't worth a darn for carving knives. It has a knife attachment available but I don't believe it will do a single bevel from the heel to the cutting edge, something that I require in my knives. The see-through wheels are great for carving tools. I use a black magic marker to color the bevel of the tool before I sharpen. That lets me know what part of the tools is on the wheel. I love the leather buffing wheel that is on the glass wheel. It is absolutely flat and allows you to buff without creating a double bevel. I also sharpen on the glass wheels which gives me a single bevel edge. I have not mastered use of the bevel control guide yet. To me it is easier to freehand the grind. Another thing is the light weight. I have a large sharpening machine that I built if metal shop a few years ago. It is great but way to heavy to tak3e along to a carving workshop. I have a belt sander and am planning on purchasing the Work Sharp machine as soon as I can get my buddy to put a price on it. Like most stuff, this machine has a learning curve. However, I think it is a good machine.

Glass disks onto which you slap standard abrasive disks, a slotted wheel for non-flat tools, etc. Has anyone used this yet?

You must know that I do things in a very deliberate fashion. I have been thinking about the penguin for the NEWR. Pondering is a very difficult and time-consuming activity that I engage in way too often. Then I will begin the design phase and next create the first carving. Oh, it is so difficult!!!!!! (At least that Is what I tell people-grinning from ear to ear) Seriously Maura, I think you would really enjoy being an instructor at the Woodcarver's Retreat in Rhode Island. There is a website that you could check to get some info on it Or I would be glad to put you in touch with Ray Johnson or Jim O'Dea, the two leaders of the program. Also I don't recall anyone teaching the classic relief style of carving that you do.

The "Palladium" trophy, as some of you may remember, is a statue of Athena which I carved in 2004. The trophy now has a second base which nearly doubles the height. The last time this game was televised, 2 years ago I'm told, there were lots of shots of the trophy. I am not really a football enthusiast, but I guess I'll be watching tonight. Here's a pic of the trophy with the new base: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/0811/cfb.unusual.trophies/content.26.html Note that the inset photo of the original carving was taken by Sports Illustrated from my web page without my knowledge. hmmmm bet if it was the other way around I'd be in deep trouble!

I, too, just got back from the GOW (well ... not just back ... but a few days ago). I had the priviledge of seeing your friend Jack Miller for the second time in the span of 2 months, the first time was at the Carvers Campout in Bremen, IN. I met Jack's lovely wife for the first time at the GOW. It was very surprising that we had something in common. Neither she nor I looked forward to spending a week with Jack when he had only ONE SET of underwear! I don't know, maybe it's just me, but a guy can get by with 2, maybe 3 days with the same set, BUT A WHOLE WEEK!!! Ain't no way. Thank goodness there was a K-Mart close by for Jack to remedy the situation. I still don't know what possessed Jack to tell me his situation, let alone saying that it was the SECOND time that's happened to him. I told him I would keep his secret so make sure you don't tell anyone Jim. I'd appreciate that. Good luck at your carving retreat. If it gets cold and rainy, tell Jack that it helps to put more clothes on to stay warm instead of walking around in a t-shirt and a pair of bermudas. Until next time ...

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!

Marcia, I would "STRONGLY" encourage you to notify SI that those pictures are yours, your copyright, and that they MUST give you credit immediately and permanently or take them down with a posted apology. You can be nice about it, but firm, since they would, as you noted, give you hell for using their copyrighted material without permission. Some years ago, when I wrote a review of Christopher White's book, Parables in Wood, for the Ezine, Chris lifted the review, intact, for his website to promote the book. Matt wrote him shortly thereafter and noted that it was copyrighted material used without permission and Chris promptly rectified it. SI should be a LOT smarter than that.

Have they used your carving to make multiple copies for these trophies? It is exciting to see your work showed around as much as that is. Big congratulations to you. Personally I wouldn't mind if they used my photos of my work since that is probably better than they could take and I would like my work to look good. Wouldn't it be difficult to prove that it was your photo anyhow? Couldn't they duplicate the photos from the carving they bought? Or did you sell just the reproduction rights? It would also depend on what your contract states their rights to the image are.

It was fun to see my carving on television last night, even briefly! :) Donna, the trophy has not been duplicated at all. No reproduction rights involved. No contracts for use of my photo either. The trophy goes back and forth between the teams to whoever wins the year's rivalry. There is no way they could have duplicated that picture...it's a composite of two views that I photographed against my gray background. Here's the picture on my web page http://whittlinsnwood.com/WWAlb/commissions/index.html ...obviously the same picture. I don't mind a photo of my carving being publicized. What I do mind is that they never asked for permission or even let me know. They could/should have, at the very least, mentioned my name! Shame on Sports Illustrated!

Our web host decided that our websites, Fine Art Dog Prints and CarvingPatterns.com, needed to be updated by moving them to new servers. Sounded OK with us as we will be getting all sorts of new features and a better price. We have been on their 'old' server since around 2000. Ten days ago they sent us an email saying we would need to change our DNS number with Internic before Oct. 8th. Mike made the change on Tuesday night, the 6th ... and our carving site went DOWN! Muttart.com made the change just fine but CCP was another story. Apparently they are having problems transfering the sites that have Secure Certificates as our does. So we are working on it, they are working on it and somewhere out there in Cyber Space the Ethernet dieties might take pity on us and get this resolved by tonight. Mike and I apologize to everyone trying to access the site ... but after a dozen phone calls to India (sigh!) we are still waiting. In the mean time you might try www.WoodCarvingPatterns.com They did at least find an old copy of the site and got that posted while we all wait.

Once they get things settled down a bit they should be putting back the up to date copy. Again, everyone, our apologizes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, thanks for your thoughts. Mike is doing much better after a long summer with three trips to the hospital for pneumonia. One included a couple of days in ICU and those awful talks about living wills, DNR's and tubes down the throat. Your thoughts are very important to us. Jan, thanks for your posting my call ...

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!

Just click on one of the links below...either will take you directly to #Woodcarverchat http://www.starlink-irc.org/java/java_williamslake.html?chan=#Woodcarverchat http://www.starlink-irc.org/java/java_stopover.html?chan=#woodcarverchat This may take a LONG time to load!!!!!!! Don't give up. When it finally does load, you will be asked to type in a nickname.....then click connect, and wait a little bit longer. The chat screen will open. Type something in the narrow horizontal space just below the chat screen and hit you enter key. Nothing to it! :) If you are using WebTV or still have trouble getting there, one of these links will work...we just save them as a last resort in case all other links don't work: http://63.79.14.90/cgi-bin/irc.cgi http://cobra-ip1.vipershells.com/cgi-bin/irc.cgi http://stopover.ky.us.starlink-irc.org/cgi-bin/irc.cgi (This one will have the fastest connection) Type in a nickname where it says"nickname"i Where is says, "channel", type in #woodcarverchat (don't forget the #). ******* If you are using an mIRC chat program: 1. Log onto your ISP. 2. Open mIRC. You should see a box "mIRC Options". If you don't then click on View then on "Options" Fill in the information there...you do NOT have to put in your real name or email address. For security purposes, make them up. Do put in the nickname you want and an alternative. 4. Click on the button with the sunburst icon, just to the right of the button that says, "Connect to Server". Where it says "IRC Network", scroll down until you see "Starlink-IRC" and highlight that so it shows in the window. There is also a Starlink network, so make sure that the one you select has the "IRC" after it. Now click on the arrow next to the IRC server window. That will list a number of Starlink-IRC servers....select one of them. The Starlink-IRC random server will automatically pick one of the servers for you, so you can use that one. With one of the Starlink-IRC servers in the window, click on "Connect to Server" If the Starlink Random Server is not in your mirc program you can add it: Click the "add" button. Where it says "Description" type "Starlink Random Server" Where it says "IRC Server" type IRC.STARLINK-IRC.ORG Port should be 6664,6665,6666,6667,6668,6669 (all of those with no spaces between them) and "Group" is Starlink-IRC 5. Once connected, you'll see lots of scrolling text. When that stops, type /join #Woodcarverchat in the window at the bottom and hit your "enter" key. (you need the / and #, and Woodcarverchat must be spelled exactly right) I have put these instructions on a web page with direct links at http://artwebmaine.com/woodcarverchat.html You may want to bookmark it. ******* See you there! E-mail me off the list for additional information and instructions.

I have to comment on what a fantastic writer Mike Bloomquest is (and also a great carver and a fantastic teacher). I just finished reading his article about NEWR in the Woodcarver Online Magazine. I could not stop smiling from the wonderful memories he brought up since as mentioned I have been there all but 1 of the 7 years it has been going on (thanks to my mom and her tummy surgery we missed 1). Reading it made me smile remembering those days gone by and the new friends I made that year and all the years since. We did and do have such a great time at the roundups, classes and that other one he said that I can't spell. It doesn't seem possible to make such good friends in such a short time and yet you do. You learn so much not only from the wonderful volunteer teachers but from the other "students". It is a wonderful homey place to go, visit, carve, talk and learn. If you can't make NEWR then try The Evart Roundup in Michigan or Joe Dillet's GOW in Illionis or the one Chris and Jim Odea (and others) put on in Flordia. I even here there are some out West. I have definately grown as a person and a carver because of my time spent in the company of other great carvers and I can't wait until I am retired so I can visit ALL OF THEM EVERY WHERE!!! Thank you to everyone that has helped me on my adventure of learning to carve and develop my skills whether in person or on this list where everyone is so generous with their precious information and talents! Ok enough of the mushy stuff! :) Good night - happy carving 1 Merrilee > From: celtcarver at comcast.net > To: woodcarver at six.pairlist.net > Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2009 22:54:36 -0400 > Subject: [Woodcarver] Sept/Oct WOM now available > > Friends in Carving: Please support our List - visit carverscompanion.com/List/Support.html to donate. > > > Friends in Carving - > > > The September/October issue of Woodcarver Online Magazine is now > available at http://carverscompanion.com.

I love the feelings you've captured in each carving. They really tell the story. I hope to achieve those same feelings because I'm about to begin that same journey of carving the 14 Stations for a new Catholic church. I finished the carving for the altar and currently working on the carving for the ambo. Your stations are an inspiration to me. A job like this is a blessing as well as a great opportunity to meditate on what Christ did for us. Thanks, Joe Dillett The Carving Shop 645 E.

Ivan Whillock was ever so kind as to offer feedback in this regard, but I'd like to extend the call for information to the List community at large. Q. What methods are most effective for laminating the wood together for a large crucifix? Q. Is there a "coffin" type of construction for crucifixes similar to what is used for carving carousel horses?

Since this one is dressed in the robes of priest and king, the sleeves provide enough strength to allow the grain in the arms to be vertical. The hands were added with the grain following the primary direction of the fingers. You can see it here: http://msdesigns.net/projects/kogf.html Most traditional large scale crucifixes are glued up with body as one piece and the arms separate so the grain can run the length of the arms. If the grain in the arms does not match the direction of the grain in the body, it is important to use dowels (or something similar) in these joints. Many large crucifixes are built with a cavity in the back. This can be open in the back, but narrow enough to be hidden by the cross. This would primarily be done to reduce the weight of the finished piece. You will want to be sure you know where and how it will be mounted. A cavity does need to be well planned to ensure you will not carve into it. Building in a cavity may also mean more glue joints than you would otherwise require. If this piece is going to be stained, you want to try to reduce the number of edge glue joints as they will be more visible that surface glue joints. This will be less of an issue if it will be painted. If it was not necessary for weight, I do not think I would build in a cavity. When gluing up the layers, perhaps the most important part is making sure each surface was smooth and matched the surface it would be glued to. I find a piece of paper to test for gaps and a good hand plane very helpful. I hope some of this helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.

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!

After a 43 year run in the Quad City area (Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa), the International Woodcarvers Congress, sponsored by the Affiliated Wood Carvers, Ltd. (AWC), is moving north to Maquoketa, Ia. It is a small community about 42 miles directly north of the Quad Cities on Hwy 61. They are very friendly and helpful folks who are eager to have the Congress be a part of their community. The show and seminars will be held in Pearson Hall on the Jackson County Fairgrounds, 1212 E. Quarry Street. More information about Maquoketa and the Congress' move will be available shortly on our website (www.awcltd.org ) and in future newsletters, which go out to AWC members. Another big change for the Congress is the dates the show will be held. >From 2010 on, we will be holding the Congress a week earlier than we have in the past. Here is a rundown of the festivities and dates: June 12 - 13: Accepting carry-in carvings for competition. June 14 - 15: Closed judging of competition pieces. June 14 - 18: Various 1, 2, 3 and 5 Day seminars being held. June 17 - 20: Show will be open to the public (Charge at the door). June 19 - 20: Judges Critique Sessions. June 19: Annual Awards Banquet. June 20: Annual AWC Membership Meeting. June 20: Release of competition pieces at 4:00 PM. If you would like to be a part of this historical move for the Congress, you can become a member of AWC for $15.00 a year ($20US for foreign members). Just send a check or money order to the PO Box below, made out to AWC Ltd. You don't have to be a member to come see the show, but you do have to be a member of AWC to take any of the seminars offered. If you have any questions about the Congress or AWC, please feel free to give us a call or drop us a line.

I have a huge question for whom ever knows the answer :) Our school a 6-8th grade middle school became a 5-8th grade middle school this year. The 5th grade is keeping the kids self contained like they did in elementary but our wonderful superintendent told the community that their 5th graders would have the experience of woodshop (plus the other specials as normal) - once a week all year long.

He doesn't have projects for them that don't require power tools. I finally started looking for ideas and then remembered you all. So I am asking if anyone has simple project ideas that use hand tools only if you would please share them with me. Email me privately since this really isn't carving related. Thanks to all of you!

In his planning, the shop teacher can set a number of skills he wants to teach: using a square, hand sawing in a straight line, squaring up an edge with a hand plane, making corners with a miter box, following a line with a coping saw, using a hand drill, using a wood chisel--and on and on. Once he determines the skills he wants to impart, he can then develop projects that encourage those skills. The projects don't need to be earth-shaking. A bird house with butt joints teaches using a square, sawing a straight line, using a drill to make the hole, etc. Then maybe move on to a simple mitered box with applied decoration, a tray for Mom, a napkin holder, a decorative shelf, a small plaque with a chiseled pattern, a cedar closet flower done with a coping saw, wooden toys for little brother or sister. Each new skill leads to a slightly more complicated project, following a pre-determined learning pattern . . . . .!!!!! Do modern school shops have none of these hand tools? C clamps, vises? Then he has a problem. It's also a problem if the class size is bigger than the number of stations in the shop. Let the skills to be learned define the projects.

Fox Chapel Publishing has a book out in their Kids Crafts Series called "Woodworking". I haven't seen it, but here is a link to it on their website. It looks like it would be just the things you're looking for. If you don't want to order one book directly from Fox, I can get a copy in for you the next time we place an order.

Got some good news and some bad news for you. The good news is that I hear you're going to be set up right across from us at the Omaha show next weekend. Don't forget to bring the title to your truck/car or whatever as well as your check book and whatever credit cards have the most available funds left in the accounts! LOL! The bad news is that you're going to be set up right across from us at the Omaha show. I'm afraid you're gonna have to put up with me bugging the heck outta you and fondling all your neat carvings (with your permission, of course). Make sure you have prices on them so I don't have to pester you too much. Looking forward to the show and seeing your creations up close and personal. CU then!

I hope your school district realizes that they can't put the typical class size of 28 students into a shop class. Our Middle School tried to have no more than 16 in a class and that was 7th and 8th graders. After retiring I taught carving in an afterschool program. I found that 5th grade boys were all over the place and found it very difficult to sit and control the use of the knife. 6th graders were slightly better and 7th graders were fine. I limited the group to 10 and made them sit in a circle where I could see all of them at all times.?I can just see a large class of 5th graders with saws and hammers in their hands. If the teacher really wants the students to be hands on and supervised, he will need small class sizes and assistants to keep an eye out. You can have the best plans in the world but you need a pair of eyes on all students at all times. And I agree that Ivan has the best suggestions for plans.

If the administration is just dumping 25-30 5th graders into a shop class, that is a huge disservice to the students and to the teacher. Fifth graders have short attention spans and should be kept busy on specific, approachable goals. However, given a manageable number of students and the proper resources, the shop teacher has an opportunity to teach the students not only some basic manual skills in handling tools, but also to reinforce their other learning in language (reading and following directions), math (measuring and calculating), and teamwork (pairs of students working on a project together). He can take theory learned in the other classes and put it to practical use in the shop. He can be the one person in their school experience who demonstrates practical application of theory. And when the student is done, there is a tangible product to show for the effort, not just a mark on a report card. The shop teacher is a lucky guy, not a victim. I'm a fan of getting students of all levels to DO! That's what carving is all about, isn't it? DOING! And having something to show for our efforts.

I agree with you but our administration doesn't. They promised when the elementary school got closed the kids would "get" Wood shop. Doesn't matter that one class has 29 kids in it. And that the teacher didn't know this was happening until after he made his order for this year. The kids will have woodshop -its a plus. Lets forget about art and life skills though they aren't necessary. Ah well, I am digressing and doing it poorly. Anyway, we only get the kids 1 day a week so we don't know them can't establish a relationship with them and have to reteach everything each week from the week before. It is not the easiest year so far! I thank you for your help though. Take care!

Our shop has some but I think he has gone the way of power cause the kids like it better. And then he doesn't have enough for all the kids. That makes it hard. Then only getting to see them 1 day a week adds to the frustration. It's almost reteaching them to come in the room for the first time each week.

Kids draw a simple flower like a tulip, cut it out with a coping saw, drill a hole and tie on a colored string hanger. Even hand tools need adequate supervision, especially among fifth graders, typically, whose main interest is in what the kid at the next table is doing. The principal should certainly be aware of liability issues if someone gets hurt in a shop with too many students and inadequate supervision.

Our shop has some but I think he has gone the way of power cause the kids like it better. And then he doesn't have enough for all the kids. That makes it hard. Then only getting to see them 1 day a week adds to the frustration. It's almost reteaching them to come in the room for the first time each week.

Although his lesson plans for 6-8th grade incorporate the progression of learning 5th graders are "babies" and need more done for them.

I wasn't one of the lucky ones to get shop in school but I did take drafting as a senior and it was a wonderful class! We used all sorts of useful information that I didn't see much use for in other classes. I wish I knew what was the matter with our administrators and all the political people. They keep cutting education and the classes that are practical and for some kids keep them going until graduation. I see where that "contracts yuck" might be taken that they might have smaller classes but his comment was that he can't do anything about the over load with the tiny kids because the contract has no language in about 5th grade. Yet they are more likely to get hurt that the older kids. It is a serious situation that is happening in more places than just our town. Sadly! I gave him all your suggestions plus others I found and after talking to him he did admit that he was a bit overwhelmed with the way his hands are tyed and the youngness of the kids and behavior problems. But looking at the stuff found it was like taking a load off. I have a tendency to make things more complicated than it needs to be and I think he was doing the same thing. So a great big thank you again to all that helped send suggestions!

Those round robin carvings were fun. From: woodcarver-bounces at carverscompanion.com [mailto:woodcarver-bounces at carverscompanion.com] On Behalf Of Patti Landmann Sent: Monday, October 26, 2009 10:58 AM To: woodcarver at carverscompanion.com Subject: [Woodcarver] Round Robin Carving Not sure who may still be on this list but I'll go on with this anyway.... Yesterday was our annual show and so I brought along my short dowel display of the round robin carvings from 1998-99. I do this every couple of years or so. Yesterday, the round robin caused more interest in a single item on the table than I have seen in awhile. I must have told the story of those segments 100 times during the day. (Do you think that meant the rest of my table was boring???) I sure hope not. Anyway just wanted to say that reliving the nerves, excitement and just plain fun that those segments brought to me was a very cool thing. Thanks to Len Dillon, Bill Russell and Loren Woodward for some history that still brings smiles to many and great memories to me. For those who may not know....The Round Robin Segments were regular (typical) cane segments divided into four areas using the corners. A theme is decided, we did Santas first, I think. so each of the carvers (4) carves a Santa on one corner of the segment and then mails it off to the second person on the list, shortly in the mail, carver number one receives a segment with a Santa already carved on the corner, at this time carver number one carvers a Santa on the next available corner and mails it off to the second person on the list. When the segment arrives with three Santas completed on the segment, carver number one carves the last corner and that is the segment carver number one gets to keep. So each carver ends up carving 4 Santas on 4 different segments resulting in 4 completed segments one for each participant. Not as confusing as I make it sound, I'm sure, cause I got it figured out. Anyway we ended up doing Santas, Native Americans, Pretty Women (Ha Ha Ha) and Caraicature (sp?). So my dowel has 4 segments with 16 carvings...quite unique and fun to look at and certainly interesting to talk about. Hope this hasn't been too boring to the masses but wanted to tell those who may still be on the list that they were stars of the show yesterday. A few took pictures so who knows, a whole new round robin may start up somewhere out there....I can almost promise it will be fun.

This is rationalized as we just need to do this and the old they only work 75% of the work year argument. When my wife heard this after coming home from 32 kindergartners she said !@$$$%^&**(( !!! DougE I admire our teachers who are continually placed in impossible situations and somehow still come up with valid learning experiences for the kids. It isn't an easy task but somehow most of our teachers in the trenches find a way. My highest regards always go to the people who teach our kids. They are the true heroes of our times. Sadly, they are generally underpaid and underappreciated. With today's impossible class sizes and the cultural diversity that challenges them, it's a wonder that they do as well as they do..

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!
