    Learn to Handsaw......

    In a of hijack of JeromeB's thread on Neanderthal gathering, I'd like to start a brain storming thread on learning to handsaw. In my mind, how does this sound: 1. Using this site, help those interested in finding, selecting a saw, files, vise and sawset. Help everyone get a baseline. 2. Have...

    Learn from my mistakes.....

    Two quick tips from someone who has learned the hard way. 1. Inspect your tools before taking them home. I got a burnisher from a good store, good mfg etc. By the time I went to use it, I found the surface was pitted. Its not rust, so I'm left to wonder. Its not useable as a burnisher...

    trying to learn to carve with a knife

    This is rather embarrassing to admit, :embaresse but as much as I like to carve and aspire to make that the cornerstone of what I do in the shop, I am not very good with a knife. I can shape big stuff like instrument necks with power or a spokeshave or a draw knife (doesn't count :) ). I can...
