savo1 Posted September 13, 2017 #1 Posted September 13, 2017 Good morning, gentlemen!I wanted to show you something from my collection. I've been carving for years. I have a great experience. I have a serious tool. In 2010, I was visiting Ivan Trtanj, in Kressbronn, Germany. He is my countryman, he lived in Zrenjanin not far from me. That meeting left a strong impression and inspired me.I immediately accept his advice, because what he did for me was a new and quite new direction in building a model of ships.

That model is now in New York on some better place. It is not mine and I dont have permission to give it or sell it. Pearwood is not straight its wavy. I really dont know what is that kind. For finishing I apply linseed oil. I will upload if there would be some project. I would like to do this more often but its harder and harder to find buyer for this work. I also made carvings for ships and If you know someone you can recommend me. BETAQDAVE, FrankWouts, EricWilliamMarshall and 5 others 8

Thistle17 Posted December 28, 2017 #19 Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) You have a gift! More than one I should say! Your miniature carving capability is magnificent and your tooling is equally so. I was intrigued with your copper plate bench top tool. Is the die replaceable for different scale and patterns? And what thickness copper do you normally use as the tool looks pretty formidable. I would like to try to make one. Thanks. Joe Edited December 28, 2017 by Thistle17 John Allen, FrankWouts, BETAQDAVE and 1 other 4
