Hi all, Just been browsing through the forum and have to say there’s a shed load of talent & heaps of amazing work! I’ve always had a passion for working with wood and being able to turn something bland into a piece of eye candy! So being a keen carpenter I was inspired to give carving a go when I discovered this site & stumbled across some videos online. I’m probably what you would call a hobbyist carver just working in the garden & have been using a cheapo B&Q electric chainsaw which isn’t ideal by any means but I have been fortunate to borrow a friend’s Stihl Ms 180 on the odd occasion which makes life a lot easier. Other tools in my arsenal include an Arbortech pro 4 woodcarver, Saburr tooth Donut wheels, sanding discs, Dremel with shank bits, hand carvers chisels & a sander. I am looking to buy a chainsaw & fit it out with a carving bar in the near future so any advice on what would be a good starting point would be greatly appreciated. Once again great work to everyone & I look forward to being part of the community, swapping ideas & learning any tips ‘n’ tricks I will post some pics of the few carvings I’ve done so far asap... Keep up the great work everyone! Gee
