Whittle Me That...: Its fishing time!

Whittler's Wish List

Carving Apron - I whittle in my recliner most the time and I have come up with some ghetto ways to keep myself from stabbing and gutting myself while I am carving.

Workbench - This is essential. Right now I have access to my kitchen table which I am sure Neal would not appreciate if I mounted a vice and a scroll saw on it (when I get them). I also use a cheap laptop table for some of my carving.

Vice - A tool to help me keep wood secure while I am cutting some portions of my carvings.

Scroll Saw - Dad gave me this idea and after researching it I decided this would save me loads of time cutting the outline of my projects since I hand carve the edges now and that takes me several hours.

Ramelson Tool Set - Carving tool set made right here in the good ol' USA, cheap in price, excellent cutting quality, and perfect for my small hands. Right now I only have one, 6 gouge, and two Butz carving knives. I have been doing all my carving with these two things and it would be nice to have smaller size gouges and a V-tool.

Sharpening Kit - For my gouges and V-tool as regular sharpening methods do not work for these irregular edges. Currently I use the old sandpaper method.
