Wood pliers

Bob Best · #1 03-26-2007, 10:28 AM

Hello folks. New member to message board here. I recall seeing an article/pattern re cuts for making the wood pliers from one piece of wood several years ago in Wood Carving. I can't put my hands on the right issue. Do any of you have the article or pattern or know the cuts to help me out?
Would appreciate it.

Welcome aboard Bob! I'm glad you took my advice! I'm still looking, but I'm pretty sure someone here will be able to help you before I can dig up the article you're looking for!

ummmm? I carved a couple of pairs of wooden pliers, but can't remember where I got the pattern? I think I did a google search for whimseys etc!

Thanks to Kenny S and Hi Ho Silver. I am VERY familiar with CRS!!!!!!!! And I have searched the Whimsey angle, hobo works, folk, etc. All I found was artistry or sales of pliers. I want to know the proper cuts. Keep looking for me.

If you check at www.littleshavers.com I think you will find a set of instructions. I also have some of Moony Werther's diagrams for the simple type pliers, I can email you if you want. these come with all the cuts sequentially numbered so it's pretty hard to go wrong.

Thank you AlArchie - I will check littleshavers; but in the meantime, would you please email the Warther diagram. I would appreciate it.

Better yet, Bob, I'll post it here....I picked this up about 15 years back as a free handout when we visited the Warther Museum, if memory serves me right, so I don't think this will ben any infringement on a copyright.

You should be able to blow this up to whatever size you need.
