Re: Chain carving
I've finished the ones with pretty wood,such as Black Walnut,Oak and Cherry with low gloss Formby's tung oil after much sanding.On the ones made from Basswood,Poplar,etc. I have used everything from acrylic paint to leaving some with no finish at all.Usually, if i'm going to paint one I leave some carving marks so it still looks like a handmade chain. It is really up to you and your creativity as to how you finish anything that you carve.I know some people will probably tell you Boiled Linseed Oil, but it don't set to good with my sense of smell.Lance Brooks

Re: Chain carving
Hi Carver Boy,
I just read about where you are from and that you are only 12 years old! That is so wonderful! It is really great to know there is such young talent among us. If you can carve a chain, then you have a pretty good command of a knife. Hope you continue to enjoy your hobby for a long time.

Re: Chain carving
'Old Time Whittling' by Keith Randich has instructions for a chain, amongst other things. I have no idea who the publisher is but the authors address is/was:
Keith Randich

Greece, New York 14612
Aha!!! just checked the Woodcraft catalog and they have it ... item number 10A85 at 8.95.

by EnnobeeMy wife fell in love with the shamrock cross pattern in the spring issue of SS&W. So I had to make her one as soon as I found the time. Off course, not being able to leave a good pattern alone, I decided to turn it into a segmentation using some real hard broken pallet wood I 'disposed off' at work....You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Reply to I've been AWOL for too long...by EnnobeeHi Jim.
glad to hear back from you. I have been absent almost just as long, but that was just because my 9-5 morphed into a 12-hour a day job due to... Something with the economy I guess. So yes. Good luck with your house. How come I have the feeling that after all this work you'll end up living...-

Reply to Scroll saw table angle??by jim_mexI have my Dewalt mounted onto an adjustable metal stand I made which after setting the table at different degrees of inclination I find 7 1/2" degrees to be fine for me. However before deciding on whatever angle you want to set the table you need to decide what seat height of stool or chair you...
