Hey Swanky can't make this one.
But I just wanted to say this is/was a great event!
I would highly recommend for all to attend.
We all learned a lot that weekend.
It would take years of trail and error to get as far as we did in one weekend.
Plus Benzart is a great guy as is Basement Kahuna.
They both made it a fun time.
Danny and Al were fun as well but they won't be there this time.
Have fun and no cuttie the fingie.

Wish I were there now! Hey, Ben or anyone--can someone point me to some tools online so I can see what I'm looking for? I was going to borrow some from my Dad but he doesn't want his expensive chisels hit with a mallet. (Yeah, I can see his point.) I was gonna get some stuff at Sears. Should I bother or just get stuff from Smoky Mountain Woodcarvers? How big a V-chisel? Does a hook knife have a size?
thanks!!!
P.S. Ben--what rum do you need?

Just wait to get it at Smoky Mnt Woodcarvers with Ben there helping you pick. For this piece, a mallet is not required. You can likely do it with palm chisels if they are nice and sharp. This is soft basswood and 4 X 4 X 12. No big hitting required. If anything, just a few gentle taps. See if your Dad is cool with that. If not, they have what you need at the shop. Their prices are really reasonable too. The Flexcut set I have been wanting for a while they have priced at exactly the same as the lowest I have found online.
Oh, and Ben likes St. James H'ors D'agee...
