Doug Linker is great! I’ve done a couple of his tutorials. I can’t wait to see that chess set when it’s done
Thanks! Two hours
Does anyone else whittle? Johnny Layton is an amazing teacher. His video on sharpening led me to cutting paper with my knife for the first time in my life. Finally having a sharp knife has made whittling more fun
This is great! I love how much he loves and respects good stories and being a part of them. I liked how the interviewer describes his roles as “desperate” and he agrees that those feelings are inside him and he likes drawing them out. Thank you!
Yes I saw that! That was a fun movie. I wonder how much of the real Nic that was
Awesome thank you
Oh man two years? But I want a peony NOW!
Alright that’s disappointing but I guess it’s worth the wait. Thanks the the tips
This is how I dance. Is it bad or good?
No pics but it’s just looks like boring lawn
Newsmax should have to admit their truth to their audience too
Good story by another outlet (AP) that’s not backing down to trumps bullying of journalists
The judge had to Point out that the studies Hegseth used as evidence against transgender soldiers actually showed proof they they are good for the military
Started with a stair tread from Home Depot. Cut off the corners with the scroll saw. Routered the edges with the Roman Ogee bit. Then I printed out the letters and traced them on with transfer paper. Used a Dremel with a very small round bit to cut the letters. Filled with black acrylic paint. Sanded off the excess from the face. Finished with Amber colored Shellac from Bullseye.
The inspiration is from the Elven art in LOTR and Rings of Power
It’s going so much better this time! I made a stencil out of hardboard using a jigsaw and scroll saw. Then I routered it into oak. Now I’m using a chisel to carve out the pieces my router couldn’t reach, and to make rounded parts pointy. I have completed this bottom corner. Carving is my favorite thing about woodworking. I like to listen to podcasts and just be in my own little zone.
This mirror frame was inspired by an archway in Rings of Power. I’ve always loved the Elven art and design in LOTR. I made a stencil with my scroll saw out of hardboard. But I have the wrong scroll saw blades and I’m impatient so it came out a bit rough and uneven with my hand- drawn design. I had some old oak and some new stock that I glued up together and the difference shows. I glued the stencil to the oak but as I began to router it out, the glue gave out and my router slipped, tearing into the piece. I also routered too deeply I think. Then I broke a piece off. Just one mistake after another really.
But that’s how it goes sometimes. So I’m starting over completely and this time I can learn from each mistake I made. The only thing I’m stuck on is that the hardboard (“chalkboard”) didn’t stick well enough with wood glue or CA glue… so idk what to try next. Maybe 1/4” plywood with carpet tape?
I planted a few here last year and I guess they like this spot
It really is. Whittling is great bc it’s the one kind of woodworking you can do without your shop. Sitting around a fire or even inside on a rainy day
