Dileon,

I just referenced you in a thread in "Wood Finishing and Painting," titled Need Help With Brushes.

Could you please join the thread and help us out?

Thanks!

Hey lady, thought IDE stop by and see whatcha been into!

Di,
Glad to know you survived the stick shift ordeal, though I nearly fell off the stool laughing.
Another crazy woman - Lori Corbett - writes stories like that on her blog site. I love it.

Aloha Dileon,
I'm even newer to wood carving than you are... haven't even finished a carving yet. I have a Wecheer power carver with both rotating and reciprocal handpieces and a few Foredom chisels and Ceramcut-style bits. I haven't really identified my niche in carving yet. I'm playing with the tools and seeing how they fit me.
I just wanted to say hi since I'm also on Oahu (Palolo Valley, Honolulu). If you'd ever like to try my Wecheer, give me a shout and we'll set it up.

This forum is the best, everyone will help you get started. Yea my back is a mess too....I have been only carving for two years, but it is about the only thing I can do. Learn how to get around the board, ...ask tons of questions. I can help you some with the pain, and disability issues although there is a lot of people here that have problems with the back. I learned how to get on the web from a book called internet for dummies....smile. There are also people who know tons about computers....everyone is very friendly here, and you can meet people at various shows....it is a great network of people.

Hi Dileon, I am a brand new member to the group. but I've had some experiences with wood glues. My favorite is still Franklin Titebond, but back in the day Elmers was made by the same folks ,(I believe in Cols. Ohio) Elmers works well but I've found tite bond more to my liking for ease of use and set up time. I do mostly relief work so I've glued up many a panel, large and small. I wouldn't throw the elmer's out but save it for lighter woods and smaller jobs. Try testing it out for set up time etc. This might be old information by now. I'm also using this as an excuse to say Hi.. being a newcomer... don s.
