If you want to learn how to carve wood, or if
you’re now carving and not happy with the results you’re getting, this DVD is
for you.
Fourteen chapters of helpful information on how to carve wood, contained on one
3 hour DVD.
Key topics covered are:
• The anatomy of wood and what are the best woods to carve.
• How to correctly carve wood to get clean smooth cuts.
• What are good carving tools to buy.
• How to properly, and safely, use carving tools to achieve maximum efficiency.
• How to sharpen carving tools.
• How to develop an idea into a finished carving.
• Lots of tips and techniques I’ve learned over my 30 plus years of carving and
20 years of teaching experience.
• Plus 2 projects.
Professionally made in a studio, using 3 cameras, my 210 minute video is divided
into 14 chapters: Introduction - Anatomy of Wood - Carving Knives - Sharpen
Carving Knives - Stylized Bird - Chisels, Gouges and “V” Tools - Sharpen Gouges
and “V” Tools - Tool Practice - Flower Relief Carving - Good Woods to Carve -
How to start a project - Clamping Devices - Finishing/Painting - Conclusion.
Having trouble getting your carving tools razor
sharp? In Sharpening Simplified, I will show you a simple proven method to get
your carving tools properly contoured and sharp, each time you sharpen them.
I’m an award winning carver, with more than 30 years of carving experience. I
have taught carving classes for two decades, and was an independent distributor
of pre-sharpened carving tools for 17 years. Over the years, I have perfected a
unique, easy to learn, sharpening technique which I have taught to hundreds of
carvers. This process was so well received that my students kept telling me,
“make a video”, you need to share this!
Professionally made in a studio, the 110 minute DVD is divided into nine color
coded segments:
1 Introduction
2 Sharpening Position
3 Sharpening Stones
4 Carving Knives
5 Gouges / Veiners
6 Flat Chisels
7 "V" Tools
8 Micro Tools
9 Conclusion
Each segment of tool sharpening starts with me showing what each tool should
look like when it is properly sharpened and why; then I actually sharpen the
tool to show how to achieve a sharp and properly contoured tool. Comments
accompany each process as I show you the steps.
