    have a word with Rob D on this forum, he knows what will be needed. I hera they are v good saws BUT you gotta be careful with the engines, over reving when not under load can v quickly kil them, or so im told by a man who knows

    safety glasses (plus the mesh visor for some cuts) and then a 3m dust mask for sanding. usually works for me. Let me know what you decide on Kim please
  8. dervishcarving
    I love your relief-carvings Kim, you have the perfect touch for it. I always struggle with depth, i cant keep regular depth and it always looks awkward

    i made some a few weeks back. had never used a metal turning lathe before so it was practice. they cut the eyes well but dont burn them much. i suspect my drill isnt fast enough to get the burn. I made one about 1 inch diamater and 2 about half an inch. if u want em to try make one for you to try then let me know. wont be within a few weeks but ill give it a go

    dammit Tommy, i thought i had a new idea and its the same as yours.... oh well. your bench is fantastic as usual

    A local school is wanting to make their somewhat drab and soulless courtyard more appealing so i volunteered to carve them a bench. The kids made design suggestions and this is what came out. Many thanks to Tommy Crags for his advice and hints on how to get the owl right. Its people like him and many others on here that help us poor wood-hackers slowly turn into carvers

    next step is going for texture goodpig. flat sanding is step 1, now learn some texture effects like fur etc. try different ways of holding the saw so teh flat of teh bar is against the wood. stroke downwards and then mirror it on the other side and you start creating a fur-turf. from there its just play and practice

    no, the 600 quid is for a harricane not one of these things
  20. dervishcarving
    no, not some scatological reference... anyone tried one of these? Log Wizard Online looks like it could have some use for mass-removal of wood but not massively tempted to try one yet want a harricane but cant quite persuade myself to part with the 600 quid

    good start mate, welcome to the world of frustration we all started somewhere and i like your duck

    a couple of the otters i have carved... neither photo is a finished-shot but gives a good idea of them the ring-one was carved from a trunk section with a hollow, otter chasing a fish, teh fish forming a bridge between nose and tail... looked fine but was very fragile
  23. dervishcarving
