[Woodcarver] New Question

[Bill Ewing]

One time on a picnic I carved two balls in a box out of a box elder branch with my pocket knife. I still have the carving. The young ones were amazed. No cleanup there. Box elder, I found at that time, is a dream to carve. I'll have to find some more.

I have an extra large apron that I wear when carving in the house. (livingroom or computer/sewing room).
I leave it untied and sit in my recliner or slider/rocker with the side draped over the chair arms  and it 
catches  most of my chips if I am working on something small. If I am carving cottonwood bark or something bigger/messy I spread a folded sheet on floor. My apron is not made of heavy material but just some 
ordinary cotton. When I quit carving I gather up the hem and step out the door and shake it or remove and 
shake it. If there is any loose chips on floor I just use my little Dirty Devil vac.

Hi all,
 
I have  a new questions where I hope we can have some fun and pass on some good tips with our chips !
 
When carving outside of your shop, the family room, doctor’s office, the trendy expensive restaurant , church how do you clean up your chips ?
 
I know the sheet method , the mini-vacuum etc. What specifically do you use ? I have tried so many mini=vacs for a quick clean up only to find they don’t have the SUCK power to get the job done.
 
Tell us when how you have caught HE double hockey stick form others for those D#@n chips laying all over ??  Where is the most unusual place you have ever carved ?/(I’m leaking this to the Chinese !)
 
My wife (the luck one) Mary Ann will love it if I learn any clean up techniques ! (no take a shower comments please )
 
I can only imagine where this will go (I have a very limited imagination ) !
 
Have fun !
 
Doug Evans
