[Donna Menke]

Larry and Carol- i don't know how you do it and retain your sanity. I am gone for one week at a time and it takes 2 weeks to prepare for it and 2 weeks to recuperate from it. 

Youse guys got stamina-

>>Here's a question??? How much of your carving control is dependent on your hearing? It may sound like a strange question but think about it. I think many of us, without knowing it, listen for how the chisel sounds when slicing the wood. There is a distinct difference in the feel of a chisel slicing across grain and along the grain. I think we also get used to the distinct different sounds of the chisel also.

>> 

>>The reason that I ask, is I just needed to send my hearing aids in to the factory for service. This seems to happen about every 6 months. It takes over a week to get them back. Last time I sent them in I thought I was imagining a little loss in control because of not being able to hear the cut. So when I got them back I listened for the different sounds. To me the different cuts do sound different. Also when the chisel is taking a very light cut, that's hard to see, the sound also seems to help in knowing how much we are taking. I just dropping my hearing aids off for service and again I seem to have lost a little control just like last time. I my be just imagining it but I don't think so. 

>> 

>>Has anyone else experienced a little loss of control with reduced hearing? Maybe I'm just weird?
