Nice one Joe......got a link.....lets have a look seeI've just ordered another set of 12 chisels
Amazon under wood carving tools Bill, £38-88 is best I can offer youNice one Joe......got a link.....lets have a look see
Just get yourself a little hand jigsaw Bill, even something like roughing out can be ruined by one false move with a band sawJust thinking a bit more about this woodcarving.
Roughing out the blank is bloody hard work using just the knives and chisels.......and a potential accident waiting to happen because of the effort needed to remove the waste.......I was lucky this session.......even wearing a glove.
When I still had the man cave shed there was a vice in there that would help.
Bought and tried a small hand held fret saw.....but its not ideal either.......trying to keep the cuts square and even to the project.
Might look out for a used or cheapish...... table top bandsaw for roughing out
We shall see
And heres poor me having to make do with a workmate and a few clamps Incidentally mate a couple of wood rasps and a round surform rasp are perfectly acceptable in wood carving circlesI do have a Jig saw Joe and although the foot offers some stability I need a larger table for the more intricate cuts on smaller 2x2 wood......so able to hold flat for more cut control........if you get what I mean?
What about the parkside band saw bill ? It shouldn’t take up much room
@Ark79
Got this one on the short list Mark.........should do the job nicely.....and not too expensive either........compact and wont take up much space hmmmmmm
