I was asked in 2015 to bring some old tools in for a presentation as part of our local library centennial celebration. While not an expert, I am somewhat versed in the subject as a hobby and so I presented for about 15 minutes that night about tools at the turn of the century.

So proud of my granddaughter - Anna and the progress she is making with her carving. She is a natural - she listens and follows directions and suggestions very well. Here is this years Christmas ornament for her Mom and Dad - a Fisherman ornament from Woodcarving Illustrated. Our schedules did not provide enough time to get it painted - but that will happen this week. Love you Anna! (BTW - her younger brother Cole is on his was into carving as well - just started teaching him the different cuts: push, pull and stop - he will be ready soon to tackle some basic carvings - Love you too Cole!)

So, I've tried my hand at SMALL carving with both hand chisels and with my Dremel. Yea, I'm not so great. However my 13 year old had to do a school project (Chinese wood block printing) and I had to show her how to use the chisels and my Dremel. She preferred the chisels because "that's cheating" (the Dremel). The brat is WAY better than I am with the chisels (and honestly, with the Dremel too) lol I called her a "disgusting brat" which made her laugh lol Now the other girls (12 and 9) want to try too.
