    Any subscription courses?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 07:34 AM PST

    I've been carving for almost a year now. I really enjoy it, and want to get better. My schedule doesn't really allow for me to do an in-person course, so I'm considering a subscription course. Has anyone had experience with these? I was thinking about the Grabovetsky course that he has, since I'm quite blown away by his work and his videos on yourube. (Though piecemeal youtube tutorials are great, I'd rather have a linear course of study, so that's why I'm thinking of subscribing).

    Does anyone have experience with these?

    Shaaf Tools Revisitedevisited

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 02:11 PM PST

    A while back I mentioned that I thought that these tools might be decent for the price. I bought a set out of curiosity, and here's my revised opinion.

    While the steel seems to be high quality, the handles are nice, and the overall construction seems to be pretty good, the edges leave somewhat to be desired.

    Te set I received had inconsistent bevels and none were sharp enough to carve out of the box. I did re-bevel and sharpen one gouge and it seems to carve well - however, I haven't had the chance to use it for more than a few cuts.

    So, if you want a fairly decent set of gouges, and have the ability to re-ground and sharpen, this might be one way to go.

    How to fixed a chipped knife?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 06:57 PM PST

    Hey there! I recently noticed that one of my favorite knives has a small piece kind of chipped out. Like, whenever I run my nail along the edge of the blade, my nail clearly gets caught on like this tiny chip that I can barely see.

    I only own a small flexcut strop and some sharpening compound and all my knives are flexcut. I have literally no background in knife using/maintenance.

    How should I go about fixing this? Would I need to buy a stone or any other material? Could someone recommend be some materiel to buy if I need to?

    Beginner Woodcarving Knives/Knife Set?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 12:03 PM PST

    I know this has likely been asked before, but after seeing a post on someone purchasing a crummy beginner set from amazon, I wanted to go ahead and ask it. My goals are to do small hand held projects: dove, spoons, etc. There's a wide range of prices and quality so unsure where to begin.

    What's the best sets or couple of knives I should invest in to get started?

    Finishing Advice

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 11:54 AM PST

    Hey all. Just had a quick question that I can't seem to find an answer to. I've been doing relief carvings on large flat chunks of wood. Now I'm ready to do some finishing... I've watched some videos on different ways to do it, notably Fred Zavadil's method.

    but I'm not sure about what to do with the back of the carving. Should that be sealed with polyurethane too? Should the back be left natural? If you need to seal it should it be sealed after you seal the front? before?

    Just not quite sure what the best way to ensure longevity in a piece is. :\

    Any advice/insights would be appreciated!

    Master craft tools

    Posted: 01 Mar 2020 12:32 PM PST

    I was at the flea market and someone was selling a set of Mastercraft wood carving tools for 40 bucks. Was that a good price? I'm new to carving, not sure about brand quality and pricing yet.
