    to answer the question Eagle, it's called compound cutting. it's easy to do, just not at 'lighting speed'. i can/have done it on a scroll saw. matter of fact, made the same reindeer he did. just smaller, slow and with a pattern. Winfield Collection sells the patterns.

    second thought, that's what i was trying to say. i say what is on my mind and know how i said and and meant it, others have a hard time. it's all good.

    Its good Rob..

    I just wanted to make sure my my post wasnt out of line, or upset anyone, etc.. Sometimes I make a post and when I look at it later it seams it could be taken out of context, maybe because of my wording, etc.. I do like that sometimes!


    I got friends here, and am mindful to walk in peace... if that makes sense.

    All is good brother ; we understood your intent. That's what makes this site different than the others.

    Yep, we may get sidetracked, we may get confused, and we may even get discombobulated... but we don't get mean nor disrespectful. And yeah, that's a GREAT thing about this site!

    Well... maybe a little mean against cats, maybe, just a little...

    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Cat's are food... not friends!

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.

    Thought that was a froe, not a knife.

    Eh.

    He was using it as you would a froe but it looked like a plain jane knife to me. The froe's I have seen were for making shingles and kindling like this one https://www.lehmans.com/p-686-lehman...oned-froe.aspx

    That being said I watched this when ST first posted it and I still find it crazy impressive. I really want to try and do it but I think I would carve my fingers making some of the cuts that he did. Even on something as soft as basswood.

    Sad, or happy?
    Angry, or calm?
    Just black and white words on a screen.
    Not like a conversation in person, with facial expressions, body language, tone of voice.

    Still, we here pretty much slide along without issues.
    Imagine how well we could get along in person.

    Or, we would just think each other is a bunch of assholes
