 Making Carving tools Several years ago, WCI ran an article on forging your own carving tools. I think it was in 2000-2003 period. Is there any way to get a copy of that article? Any help would be appreciated.

| Re: Making Carving tools Not sure these are what I am thinking of. It involved using a single refractory brick, a propane torch and a spring swage made from a large nut & bolt and a length of 1/4" round steel rod. It showed you how to forge chisels and gouges and how to heat treat them. I am just sick that I lost my copy.

| Re: Making Carving tools Bob, All I can say is ...E-bay! Actually, if there is a specific article you are interested in, contact our Customer Service department at 800-457-9112; they have a procedure for getting people copies of articles that are out of print. Bob |
