Hi Kreig
I'm even less of an expert than you at carving. However, I did just get the Narex adze to give bowl carving a go. Ergonomically it feels perfectly fine in the hand. I think it will be...
+1 on these. I bought just one to try them out at first then ended up filling out the set
Brian,
Thanks for the post! How does the Kreg in-line clamp work? I got the veritas one. It does ok, however the head is angled off 90 from the post just a tad. When I really tighten it down this...
I subscribe to FWW and PopWood. I find I learn more from FWW but get more project ideas from Pop.

I also recently bought book 2. I really like it and will most likely get all of the volumes at some point
Warren,
Thank you for this explanation! It helps clear up an issue or two I've been thinking about. What about a bridle joint, similar process?

+1 on oil stones. I use an India, hard Arkansas, and a black Arkansas
Thanks for sharing Mike! I'll be following with interest. Really enjoying the build threads going right now.

Because of Steven's Goblin King quote.
On the bench in the background is the lid from the family trunk that came over from Sweden. In the foreground is some walnut from a deadfall on the...
Lowell,
I agree, that is an awesome looking project. It's definitely on my want to build list. I'm glad you are doing a thread on your build. I'll be following with great interest.
Thanks!
Jeff
Andy,
I really like that shop. Dig the flooring (and everything else).
Jeff
Thanks Rick!
What are the sizes of your shops? It looks like most of you all do a lot with a modest amount of space. We're in The process of moving and I'm very interested in what others feel is a minimum or...
Too funny! Thanks for pointing that out Jim. As always, The faster I go the further behind I get:)
Here is a first attempt with a draw knife and spoke shave. It was a lot of fun. A couple of things I would like to redo but over all pleased with how it turned out. The walnut was from a deadfall...
+1 to Aubrey's comment. By the end of the rabbit hole I was at your jewelry box tutorial. Thank you for making these!
Thank you for posting Kees! As a beginner I found this very helpful. I'd be interested in reading more about your project above. Do you have a thread dedicated to that as well?
I used to work with a guy who like to call it "bum wad" but I never figured out if that was a wide spread term or just him...
As someone contemplating dipping a toe in to the world of carving, thanks to everyone for posting and the responses. I thoroughly enjoyed this thread!

Thanks Chuck! This is great information. I had no idea so much was available regarding this topic.
Art, I think I agree with your suggestion. Sounds like the way to go if at all possible.

Thanks Lowell! I will try this height and see what I think. My current one isn't quite as nice as the one in the Pop Wood link. Except my young daughter and I thought it should have a coat of paint...
I'm 6'4" and built mine @24" it works ok. I'd like to try a height similar to Bill's at some point. I just haven't worked up the nerve to cut down the legs.
Good Morning everyone,
I have a steamer trunk that was my great-great grandfather's when he came over to the U.S. from Sweden. So far it's been a dusty museum piece up in the attic. I'd like to...
Malcolm,
I agree with others, this sounds brilliant! I'd love to see a pic if you happen to think of it the next time you are in the shop.
