Hi All,

Nice tutorial. You explained each step and what you were doing.
Your demonstration of a sharp versus dull knife was helpful.

I think I will try the ball in a cage to get back to being friends with my knives.
Thank you for making the videos.

Thanks for the video, Joseph. I'll definitely have to look at that one, as I have a ball in cage cutout that I really want to do.

I've made a few of these, yet I learned several tips from your video. Thanks. The radius template idea is particularly good.

Take care

Joseph,

Thanks for the "toot". The ball in a cage was the second project I attempted when I first got started seriously carving. It was a disaster!!!. I hid it so well I can't remember where it is now. LOL. Anyways here it is three years later and you've gotten me ready to try it again. I have three new grandsons to gift them to for christmas this year, so I'd best get started soon eh?

I appreciate your efforts.

L.P.

Joseph,
Just got back from watching the videos. Very well done. I watched your first tutorial on the owl a while back, and liked it as well. Keep em coming. Great work.
