Carvin' Tom's Woodcarving Blog. Friday, August 30, 2013. 17 days after my hip surgery and all systems are go! I am now the proud owner of a new hip and finally things. Seem to be getting back too normal, i.e. carving. I have been working on the 1861 Remington Revolver and have completed most of the pieces. I will soon enter the scary part of the job: Painting it to look like a real gun! Left Hand Side with the Loading Lever Extended. Til next time.Keep makin' chips! Links to this post. People often do not.

Carvin' Tom's Woodcarving Blog: The Blacksmith
https://carvintom.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-blacksmith.html
Carvin' Tom's Woodcarving Blog. Monday, July 21, 2014. I have a woodcarving blog called Carvin’ Tom’s. Maybe you’ve heard of it? It has been so. Long since I posted anything that I half expect that it will be months before “my regulars” even notice that there has been a new posting. I’m sorry about that, but life sometimes kind of gets in the way and some things have to slip. Quench Bucket and Coal Bag. I turned the quenching bucket on the lathe and used a wood burning tool to define the individual staves.

Carvin' Tom's Woodcarving Blog: November 2014

Carvin' Tom's Woodcarving Blog. Tuesday, November 4, 2014. The Passing of one of the “Good Guys”. Tommy (on the right) and Ray (on the left). I was greatly saddened to hear this morning that we have lost a really, good guy. Well…at least someone who could greatly improve the mood a cloudy Saturday morning with his wit and antics. This morning, “…was really more about two brothers who loved life and each other.” My wife, who is not a car buff by any. When I was first got into wood carving, I did a number ...

Carvin' Tom's Woodcarving Blog: September 2013
https://carvintom.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Carvin' Tom's Woodcarving Blog. Friday, September 20, 2013. The Carving of a Full size Replica of an 1861 Remington Cap and Ball Revolver – Part 3. I wasn't all that pleased with the color and texture of the metal parts of the 1884 Springfield Trapdoor Rifle that I had carved about 5 years ago (see below). I vowed that this time my results would be much better. Close up of Trapdoor Rifle Replica. Note the flat “cast iron” look of the Lock and Hammer. The acrylic paint that I used on the rifle looked "OK".

Carvin' Tom's Woodcarving Blog: Yet Another Warther Museum
https://carvintom.blogspot.com/2014/10/yet-another-warther-museum.html
Carvin' Tom's Woodcarving Blog. Wednesday, October 8, 2014. Yet Another Warther Museum. Way back in 2010, I visited and the blogged about my visit to TheWarther Museum. In Dover, Ohio. If you haven’t seen it, it is a place that all. Woodcarvers should visit at least. Once It houses the most amazing collection of works by possibly the world’s best woodcarver…well …OK…at least the best carver of wooden trains. Close up of the Rigging. Well, now, history is repeating itself. Dave Warther is following in...

Carvin' Tom's Woodcarving Blog: More Workshop Details
https://carvintom.blogspot.com/2014/03/more-workshop-details.html
Carvin' Tom's Woodcarving Blog. Sunday, March 23, 2014. I guess I have pretty much beaten the “Dust Collector Horse” to death, I’ll move on to other topics now. Another significant problem with the old shop was that all. Of my tool, equipment and wood storage was on “open shelves” (Definition: unenclosed areas exposed to the air where dust and miscellaneous crud continuously accumulate over time resulting a generally unappealingly cluttered mess! And the belt/disk sander. High on the wall, a re-purposed ...

Carvin' Tom's Woodcarving Blog: April 2014
https://carvintom.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Carvin' Tom's Woodcarving Blog. Friday, April 4, 2014. Ah, we are coming close to the end of our new shop tour…probably just one more installment after this one. The Assembly Bench counter top was recycled from the old shop. It was one of the first items that had to be removed to begin the process. It used to be right where the wood rack is now. However, the tightwad in me could not see throwing out a perfectly good looking top…well…"good looking" if you ignored all the holes. :-). I used ¼” b...Their or...

Carvin' Tom's Woodcarving Blog. Wednesday, May 21, 2014. Sanding Station with Dust Collection. Yeah, I know. I haven’t been posting much recently. There seems to be a lot of “stuff” going on that reduces the amount of my available Blog writing time. It is time to finally get back at it. I was - as hard as that. May seem – actually starting to run out of available bench space and I didn’t want to add yet another port to the dust collection manifold. So where to do my sanding? You can see that I added an a...
