Comment on Getting to know… Alder and a new Chisel by Myrna Tuttle

What a remarkable difference a sharp chisel makes! And the skill of the woodworker probably improved with the stone and strop, too. That’s a great lesson for all of us. Keep ‘em sharp!

Badger – this looks great! I really want to learn to do some carving. There were come great carved redwood panels in the Gamble house living room that I really liked.

Oh, the joy of picking out all that wood! That’s what I like best about woodworking with hand tools. The wonderful feel and aroma of the woods as they are worked. Blessings, Trudy

I emailed Mike about it, he was thinking of maybe doing a MWA field trip out that way.

@josephhurban

I know that you CAN have it solid and tight. Wood allows that a solid-state metal point be used to keep it upright and be used as a bearing without the need to rotate. However, I have seen many variations while looking up plans online, and none of them state one way or another, except the one that stated that second line in this post.

I do know that on some there does seem to be a seperate part that can come off, that is wood but it fits in the poppit and then nails into the base of a bowl or something. It seems to spin freely in the poppit and the rope wraps around it so that way you have no fear of getting the tools too close to the drive-rope of the lathe. It’s a feature I plan on making into mine.
