Hi, folks, there are many ways to make sign such as these using our tools and we're producing a whole series of videos which will show you a whole bunch of tips and tricks so to see our next video just press this button here and subscribe to our Channel.
Here’s a little sign. I'll show you how to do this using the power chisel. This is Amy this is my little granddaughter so the first question is how do you get your lettering and how do you get it onto the wood. The simple ways to get it printed I'm going to imprint that onto a piece of wood I've printed it backwards and what I'm going to do is I'm going to wipe the piece of wood with thinners paint thinners or acetone and then I'll lay this on it and hopefully this will imprint this image straight onto the wood.
I found the technique eventually is best to brush it onto the wood not onto the paper and put it on onto the wood. So first of all, I get in the center to start with I'll go just very very shallow running the line down the center of my letter e as you go around the curved focus on the side that you wish to push down and then come back in the other direction and carve the other side on one side you'll find that you're intending to lift the grain on the other you're tending to push it down as you proceed around curves you have to be very careful not to split the wood always keep your finger in the center of the blade and push the blade down into the V that you're cutting then you can just biased it to one side or the other for sharp corners just swing the base of the tool around fairly rapidly and you can do nice tight little curves I tend to use the 90 degrees V chisel for most of this sort of work if I do it very shallow I get a thin line I push it in deeply I get a nice wide B it's always important to keep your finger on the blade and push it down into the center of any cut that you make that keeps it very steady with the power chisel it's okay to hold the actual blade you won't feel any movement at all as usually now it. it's only for me to fill the carb sections with white paint you can brush it just into the individual cuts or you can spread it right over the entire piece and wipe it off then you just clean it up by sanding and oiling and you have the finished Product.
If you would ask me what tools should you buy? If you don't have already a collection of tools and like I said before I really like Ashley Isles. that's one of my main preference for work right now. although some tools it's still not serving my purpose and I still have to order custom made and in future I am planning, I’m actually planning to get the tool maker to make custom tools for me and maybe I going to make it for sale also available. I know exactly what I need I know exactly what to ask Ashley I else is a really good brand but Ashley Isles you have to buy separately every gouge and that's probably if you already not advance the you don't have to buy right away gouge by gouge but I would probably recommend the first thought you would buy just the swiss made tale set which is the small European handle you can I don't know how much is it most right now but the wholesale maybe like you know four hundred five hundred dollars but you have multiple tool...
Hi I'm Kimberly McMillan and I'm with woodworker’s journal. This week I'm at North house Folk School and I've been taking a class on Scandinavian shrink boxes. These boxes are made out of green wood that as they dry they shrink around the bottom that you've carefully fitted by carving it with a knife I'm going to demonstrate now how to do some safe knife carving techniques. The first technique I'd like to show you involves taking your work piece in your non-dominant hand and bracing it against your leg firmly and holding it still then I'll take the hand with the knife in it with the blade pointing out and I will cut away from my body holding my work piece as still as possible in comparison to that you can brace your hand that has the knife in it against your leg firmly and using the other shoulder you'll pull your work piece away from the knife keeping the knife very still. The next technique I'd like to show you could be called the v...
