CARVER'S CORNER
 |
| The Splinter
Carvers met on Saturday morning, August 1. There were
eight carvers in attendance including two new members of
the club, Blue Pau and Win Phipps. Jim has added some
bench space so there was room for all to work. Some more
progress was made on the soaring eagle and others worked
on their own projects. It is great to see so many
carvers working on so many different kinds of carving
projects. We discussd carving a carousel horse as our
next club project and meeting twice a month, on the
first and third Saturdays, to generate more interest and
improve our productivity.If the carvers agree, a formal
announcement will be made. |

Shop Tip
Right-size sandpaper
with this “cutting” board
Tearing sandpaper sheets to size is a
tedious task made easier with this simple jig. First, cut some scrap
hardwood to the length of a hacksaw blade. Rip three pieces to the
widths shown below and plane them to slightly different thicknesses
to create the “steps,” as shown. Make a shallow rabbet for the
blade in the 2 3⁄4″-wide piece and then edge-glue the pieces
together. Epoxy the blade in the rabbet and you’re ready to make
piles of properly sized sheets in no time. By butting the edge of
the abrasive against the correct step,you can tear-off half-,
third-, and quarter-sheets for your power sanders or for
hand-sanding blocks.
