There will be HDTV and a good sound system, fed from a well loaded iTunes library (lots of tunes, including Celtic and yes, dance music - you never know when a swing dance might break out.) Speaking of music, the sound system needs to have room for 'Ol' Don and Ivan and others to jack in their guitars. Speaking of Ivan, we'll need a good highback leather pondering chair reserved for him. Speaking of 'Ol' Don (and Sandie) - this is actually a new functional area - we'll need an exterior space with hookups to dock the occasional motor home. Fan club shirts? Right, those will be a big seller! ;-) Matt Kelley Sent from my iPhone On Sep 1, 2009, at 6:05 AM, Doug Evans wrote: > Morning all, > > With the mention of Machine shop area , do we need to be more > specific such as Band saw, scroll saw, lathe etc .

He and his wife run a store called O' Town Books. Their phone number is (641)-682-0901. Bill has done a lot of carving over the years. Around this time each year he cranks out about a 100 Santa figures that change each year. He has collectors that look forward to his new creations every year. Unfortunately this year they are going to be disappointed. He had a 3rd operation on his carving arm and he's just now getting back into his carving. He's been fooling around with carving some golf balls to work up his strength again. He is usually in the bookstore carving away and taking care of business. You can call him and figure a time for a visit if you care to. He filled me in on something new to Ottumwa. He designed a large carving of Chief Wapello that has been recently completed by a chain sawyer from Vermont. It is displayed right next to the brand new convention center on Market Street in Ottumwa down by the river. He said it is really a sight to see. The detail is just tremendous. So there you have it ... something to do while in Southeast I-O-Way! Give Bill a call ... he's a really nice guy.

Message-ID: <49d3fd9d0909051509w3e0ea6a5v23dc92844381c709@mail.gmail.com> Hi all just finished carving a new one. This was a pattern by one of the Trygg family of carvers. Of course the Tryggs were flat plane carvers and known for their hobos as well. I didn't carve him in flat plane but wanted to see what it would look like in a more traditional caricature style.

I hope to paint him tomorrow. Willy was a character as so many Scotty dogs are. I couldn't bear to bring another dog in right now. I will wait until next spring. Winter is a horrible time to acclimate a new dog. No puppies, as with Willy we will rescue a dog that needs a good home. Willy was 9 momths old when we got him, his former owner had passed on and he had no family. He came all trained and just looking for love. when you get a dog 9 months to a year old you can really see their personality. We will just do it again when the time comes. Thanks again Karen!

I just returned from a couple of weeks in Alaska. It was wonderful except that I got my computer stolen out of my luggage. I think insurance will replace it but I still lost a lot of stuff that was in the computer and a bunch of emails. The weather in Alaska was great. We got to view Mt. Mckinley two days in a row. I even found some time to draw. We took the 5-day land tour from Fairbanks to Anchorage and a 7-day inside passage cruise. I met a lady carver from the Haida tribe who carves totems documenting her history. She makes many of her own tools. She truly was the gold that I found on this trip, a very talented artist. Today the apprentices and I set up to show at the Fair which begins Wednesday and runs through Sunday. Those are long show days that take almost a week to recover. I hope to find some time to get some of the vacation pictures posted. Joe Dillett The Carving Shop 645 E.

Facebook seems to double check the use of multiple email addresses real well. I also can't risk have my business account shut down. I'm looking for a way to do both and will start a woodcarving blog very soon !!

References: Message-ID: Good question, Matt. I've thought about marketing using social networking sites like Facebook and created a My Chip Carving Facebook account a while ago. But the more I thought about it I decided that the majority of my customers probably don't use this online tool. And seeing as I don't have much interest in Facebook (although some friends think I should), I didn't pursue it. Sure, I am probably missing some potential chip carvers but I can always give social networking a try in the future if needed. That's my take on it :-) Make some chips, Marty www.MyChipCarving.com 866-444-6996 If you are not a subscriber yet to the free lessons, patterns, and giveaways offered by My Chip Carving, you are invited to subscribe at: http://www.mychipcarving.com/Chip_Carving/Pages/chip_carving_free_eletter.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Kelley" To: "Woodcarver List" Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2009 7:31 AM Subject: [Woodcarver] Facebook as marketing tool? > Friends in Carving: Please support our List - visit > carverscompanion.com/List/Support.html to donate. > > > Time for a topic change until we move onto the next phase pf the Virtual > Carving Studio project, perhaps this evening. > > So is anyone using Facebook as a way to help market carvings or support > carving generally?

Its a place to make announcements. While it only allows 140 characters per blurb, it does encourage links.? You add tags to your site and people find you and follow you and what you have to say. I don't know 90% of the people following me. You can build up quite a following on it.? Though I do admit to not having much to say on it lately.? I use facebook as purely a social thing just like kicking back with my friends.? In order for people to get your facebook messages, permission must be sought out and allowed for each person.? I find it a more relaxed place and people seem quick to block business related spam and remove those people who's posts are cluttering up their page, just a place for me to keep up on whats going on with friends.? More of a place to post photos and have conversations in my humble opinion.

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.

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.

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.

Now don't ever tell Bloomer I said this, but he must have done a great job with his guinea pig class because the results really show. Looks like you had a good time in Maura's class too.

John - thanks for that link. Great information there. Though my understanding from several other NA Flute resources is that it IS in fact illegal to market any flute as a "Native American Flute" if the maker is not a registered member of a recognized tribe. In respect of that (not that I am selling them - though I hope to one day if they're good enough) I try to refer to them as NA Style Flutes. This gives credit where it's due for the basic design (Native Americans) and avoids any implied claim of being NA myself. I have harvested several more bamboo culms from a stand across the Hudson River from me so I hope to make several more soon. I'll post a pointer to my blog here (with photos & sound clips) when I do. In addition - Mike B kindly routed 4 blanks from mahogany that I aquired at the previous NEWR that I've not yet made - so I'll be posting something about my progress with those this fall. Cheers!

Also - did your blank supplier refer to this as river cane? From what I've read - it seems more like true bamboo to me. River cane is usually smaller in diameter and thinner walled (again - from what I've read). Curious to hear what your friend who supplied it says. As for what I did to improve volume . . . the only change I made was to flatten the block and cut the flue in the actual bamboo instead. From what I've read - the cutting edge of the TSH (true sound hole) should ideally be in the middle of the stream of air (when viewed side on). So by moving the flue to the body of the flute (as opposed to in the block) it lowers the airstream thus effectively raising the cutting edge. Apparently this greatly increases volume. The other change I made in the flue was to widen it to match the width of the TSH. When I cut it in the block I had it slightly narrower. I still have to apply a finish (inside and out) and that will likely improve volume even further. I can't wait to try the mahogany blanks you cut for me. But I've been tied up curing more bamboo and getting ready to try making more from my own bamboo source. Cheers! Chuck -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

One thing I am learning in all my reading and experiementing is that there are as many ways to make these as there are makers. And you're correct - if you mess up the cut on the body - well, you're kinda stuck. I did that on one that I was trying from my own harvested bamboo and I am still trying to figure out if I can salvage it. Maybe by inlaying a new piece. Probably toss it though. So your in block version may well be better for a classroom situation. The key to cutting in body for me so far and slow and shallow cuts. You don't want the flue channel too deep anyway - so just sneak up on it. > Again, good work and good playing there > "grasshopper". Thanks for the feedback. Ah Master Po - not sure I can grasp the pebble from your hand yet. Thanks for your class and encouragement. This whole flute thing has sort of taken over my time so that carving has fallen by the wayside though. So I blame you! > BTW, what you have is probably bamboo (good point). Not trying to > misrepresent, but the obviously more "authentic" material would be river > cane. I believe there was some of that in the bucket of blanks I had. Didn't think you were misrepresenting - I just wondered if you'd been told it was all river cane by your supplier - in which case I may have been wrong in calling it bamboo. I don't recall but you may have had a mix in the bucket. And yes - cane would indeed be more authentic for NA Style flutes anyway. I also want to try (eventually) a transverse (side) blown flute - but these are much harder to play since they require you to make the embrochure with your lips - where the block flue and fipple (cutting edge) do that work for you with the NA style flute. Also - a Japanese style shakuhachi - but those are even trickier I understand. Anyway - cheers mate! Keep the chips and the wind blown notes a flyin'.

"the long suffering Mrs. Bloomquist" or SWMBO) and I are wimps when it comes to long distance driving, or what you probably consider middle distance. Heck, it takes us a day and a half to get to Dayton because we take the scenic route through Amish country and visit her favorite gourd farm east of Columbus. Even when she drives and I carve we can't sit in the goobermobile (minivan) for long periods, seldom eat in the van, and are easily distracted by things along the way. Combine all that with limited days off because, thank God, I still have a day job, and we "don't get out much". Believe me. looking forward to the day when woodcarving is my day job.

Don't take the scenic routes through Amish country, especially during gourd season. Get on the interstate and "put the pedal to the metal"! IV.)

Even when she drives and I carve we can't sit in the goobermobile (minivan) for long periods, seldom eat in the van, and are easily distracted by things along the way. Combine all that with limited days off because, thank God, I still have a day job, and we "don't get out much". Believe me. looking forward to the day when woodcarving is my day job.

All you have to do is get through PA and OH, then you've only got one more state until you hit Illinois. Piece of cake! I'd love to take a flute making class from you. I've had one for years made by a Native American fellow out of Colorado. He was in town for a wedding and came to the shop. He wanted a Foredom handpiece in the worse way and asked if I would trade for something. I told him I was game for anything. He went to the truck and came back with a really neat flute that he had made. Boy ... did I get the better end of that deal, but he insisted that was all he wanted! I've tried playing it since then, but not with much luck. I sure would like to make one of my own someday. That would be a compelling reason in itself to come all this way ... to see the BIG DOG actually carving! LOL!

Gotta say though, it's humbling to the teacher when the student exceeds them. both in playing and in construction . You'll have to describe to me what helped the volume like that, so I can use it in future classes. Don't have that problem with my flute classes where we carve them from wood, but that's one of the reasons I enjoy volunteering at the NEWR... every once in a while I teach something that for me is brand new (like female wood spirits or N.A. style flutes from river cane), and get to work the kinks out of it. The other "beny" is that I usually learn as much from my students as they learn from me. If anyone is familiar with the New England Woodcarvers Retreat, this is one of the classes I was scheduled to teach. Had to cancel this year, but they said they forgave me and have me penciled in for next year. It will definitely be on my list for the next NEWR as well as the Retreat. Using river cane made it possible to teach in a one day class. That idea was thanks to Don Dearolf who attended by N.A. style Flute tuning demo the year before. Like I said. I learn a lot from my students.

But I wanted to submit a post recommending Mike's NA Flute in bamboo class should he ever offer it again at NEWR. I had the pleasure of being one of Mike's guinea pigs for his first time teaching this class at this last NEWR. Although we ran into some roadblocks trying to get tuning and the online software used to layout the finger holes straight, it was a very enjoyable class and I was very happy with the way my flute turned out. If you're interested I've made a couple posts about it with a YouTube video of me playing it in my blog here: http://woodsmythsmuse.blogspot.com/ In addition, I have a post about the Traditional Woodcarving class my wife Theresa and I took with Maura. Also highly recommended! Cheers!

What reviews I've seen all say it's good and what could be better than knowing you aren't going to cut your hand off if you make a mistake ??? They have a 10 inch model that's gotten very good reviews. On other notes without being specific: a band saw with at least a 20 inch throat, a minimum 8 inch jointer, a minimum 14/15 inch planer, a shaper or large router table, a performax or similar large drum sander, some woodworkers benches and at least one 4 foot square table. If possible have a bench against a south or southwest facing exterior wall with LARGE windows. Another placed for access from both sides. All the same height (approx waist high) and mobile at need. Retractable wheels on one end would do. All with dust collection *MUCH* larger than seems necessary. (If possible with one side of the "wood processing large tool area" against an exterior wall so that you can build a (more than adequate sized) weather tight enclosure OUTSIDE the shop to house the dust collector with sound proofing between the enclosure and the shop to cut down the noise.

Some of the most interesting are those that include local history. For example, one club chose a historical period and did a WPA themed project which included the building of the Hoover Dam. ? Is there any local history in your area that could be turned into a collective project? Iowa - I would guess farming might be a local activity - could you create a farm scene during harvesting time? Oh well, just some thoughts - maybe these will get you thinking. Sandie -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Lee Valley carries micron graded paper in their catalog and online @ www.leevalley.com. Look under sharpening supplies. Lee Valley is an excellent supplier, has a lot of very good tools and is easy to deal with in both US and CA currency. You can also find extremely fine sanding sheets in some hobby shops that deal with plastic models. They have small sheets in extremely fine grits for finishing models.

I got some fine sand paper at one of them. It is used to buff the paint. About 1000grit, 1500 grit and 2000 grit.

Mighty fine. Most times I think 600 may be fine enough for touching up gouges, and that is available in wet/dry most places. As for your group project- how about a zoo? That would give you all an opportunity to carve lot of different kinds of animals- but not necessarily in pairs. Maybe some buildings to go with it. Or a farm scene with people, animals, buildings, and vehicles- that should keep you all busy for a long time.

What a great project. Well done. Whoever designed the pieces really had his/her brain in gear. Most of the non-traditional chess sets are so difficult to play with. It is easy to forget which pieces are which. With this set there would not be that problem.

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.

The size is bigger then usual but I needed to have it bit enough to carve. I got our experienced carvers to do the major pieces, Kings, Queens, Bishops, and Knights. I actually got Stu Martin to carve Crazy Horse. I carved the TeePee Rook and another member carved the Fort Block House (traditional rook). But I wanted to have the soldier Rook echoes the TeePee so I carved the standing rifles. We left both in the set. I did not want the Pawns to be miniature so I designed them to scale but in a crouch. You can see the different skill and stile of various carvers doing the Pawns but the pose keeps them coordinated. Terry Zobl > > > Terry- thanks for the link to the pictures of the > chess set.

Seems like we need lots of other saws, planers, movable benches, clamping devices, dust collection, etc. Specific makes and models are welcome (and needed), and you may suggest more than one model of a particular tool. You may make suggestions right here on the List, or use the submission form on the VCS page at the Carvers' Companion web site here: http://carverscompanion.com/VCS/VCSHome.html Come on folks - let's add some equipment to this important area of the VCS.

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.

These last few days have been a blur since learning about Ron's passing. I have barely touched the computer or anything carving related and not wondered off in thought about Ron. I know I will and many of you will miss him. Neither terry or I ever imagined we would have the last pictures of Ron. God bless him !! On a much, much, much happier note, Carve Fest was a HUGE success with a good time had by all !! Hats off to John Sabina and committee for all of their hard work !!! Here is the link to Metro carvers. Click on the CarveFest button and you will be directed to Terry's pictures and the videos I took. http://metrocarvers.110mb.com/ Thanks !!
