Default Hello

This looks like a great site . I am new to carving but I guess the interest has been with me a while as I dug out a cheap set of carving tool that I had bought at princess auto many years ago. I remember trying them and thinking well these suck they're all dull. So there they sat till a couple weeks ago. I have them sharpened now and cutting pretty good for the price of them. I want to make the right choices with my tool purchases so these and an Old Timer pocket knife will keep me content till I decide what I want. I am looking forward to getting to know you all. I think it is great how willing you all are to share your knowledge of carving. So my hat is off to you all with many thanks...

Welcome , I am new also and spend tons of time reading through the old and new posts here, I suggest reading all the posts you can on tools but also on different styles of carvings and also there are quite a few tips and advice and tutorials that you can learn from. It is a wonderful site with nothing but kind and helpful people here. Enjoy

Thumbs up Re: Hello

I want to thank you all and I already think this is a great site. So far everyone has been nothing but frindly and I do not think it will be any different, than a bunch of good down to earth, wonderful, people. It's woodcarvers, and I am a begener, but from what I have experenced in woodcarving, you have to be good people or you wood not be woodcarvers.
