Check out the OT in front of most of the posts. That means "Off Topic" and
tends to mean the guys posting are discussing something other than woodworking,
something that may or may not be bullshit of the purest ray serene, but that
might also take place in a shop in a real life setting. So, on that basis, it's
about woodworking.
Best bet: if OT posts send you up the wall, filter anything with OT.
Does Web TV filter? If not, simply avoid OT posts. They're dangerous. You might
learn something. Or not.

I agree with your observation. I want to discuss carving and am teaching
myself to work in the manner of the Vikings. Must be in the DNA,want to
represent my heritage.Any thoughts? |

Have you checked out the Vesterheim museum in Decorah, Iowa?
http://www.vesterheim.org/ - the have a extensive museum, and contests
and exhibitions. Good bookstore as well, might have something in there
that's of use to you. If you're anywhere near Iowa, it's worth the
drive to go to in person.

Karen,
yes, start a new thread, maybe with the subject line "Wood carving,
Viking style." This thread is destined to go into the trasher...

I think I remember seeing both Kerry and Bush wearing a viking hat on some
website somewhere once. Maybe it was www.jibjab.com ? You might want to
follow the advice of TWS and start a new thread on Viking style carving...

Man, you seem to bitch about the Kerry/Bush BS and then you want someone to
explain it to you? Can you say conundrum? |

Get your tools really, really sharp and match your design to the grain of
the wood. Don't try to do fiddly little stuff on wood that won't support it.
Oak is a traditional wood for Viking-era carving, but its too coarse grained
for a lot of designs. Lime or Basswood is a better choice to begin with and
Lime is also a traditional wood.
Depending on what you're doing you might want to spring for a Frost (brand
name) curved knife. ($20 or less, available from Highland Hardware and a lot
of other places.) Great for doing spoons, bowls, etc. Just remember to
sharpen and hone it before you try to use it.
Study as many pictures as you can find. There are some subtleties to the
various Viking styles that aren't immediately obvious. For example, pay
attention to the symmetry (or lack of it) in those carvings.
Above all, have fun.

Both are knobs, and, well for knobs, see the eBay auction
listed a couple/few messages up.

Wasn't one of the Kerry sound bites "I invented woodworking on river patrol"
or something like that? |

Charlie,
fact is, responses don't always carry "OT:" in the subject. Second point is
the Patriot guy is a troll, third point is there is a large number of
wreckers who think it is ok to put this political crap in the group.
It used to be that politics, religion and sex were banned in some
workplaces. In others it was an unspoken rule - for good reason. I don't
mind the occasional OT thread myself, but if I want to follow American
politics I'll go to a suitable NG. The 100-200 post superthreads in the
wreck simply should not be here.
