    That chalkline method is genius, so simple even for that big of a piece and the result was very nice and tidy.

    @edwardkerns5202 7 років тому

    Great first video in series! There are many people who are interested in hand wood carving, northwest native art and greatly respect the native art. Please continue the series. The close up video on the master carver's techniques and how he uses the tools are very valuable. Suggestions: put a microphone on Tom, the master carver, so we can hear him better; get him to talk more rather than yourself because he has a lot of experience and wisdom and deserves tremendous respect.

    Hi Tom. Remember me? Ron Stacy. I like your new (to me) workshop. I'm up here in the Okanagan being mostly retired, but still pretty busy. It's nice to see you and that your still carving.

    • @tomlafortune7421
      @tomlafortune7421 6 років тому

    • @ronstacy
      @ronstacy 6 років тому

      Hey Tom. Doing all right here in the Okanagan, but miss you guys doing nifty stuff and doing it together from time to time. I've set up a little bit of a woodworking shop again. When I left Sidney, I got rid of most of my tools, except the carving tools, but I've been re-stocking on equipment so I'm about to get back in it with both feet. Just got back from Europe. Never occurred to me to go there until recently. Pretty cool; art everywhere, and sculptures, of course. I'm enjoying seeing you work, but haven't seen part 2 yet. You haven't really changed at all, except your girth, just like me. We've got about ½ an acre here, a double size house, so we can use half for studio/workshop and half to live in. There's an archery range out back. Not much real art or 3D work here except for 2 or 3 artists.

    Wow just wow. Genius to round the log with string and a chain saw. I would have sent untold time and money trying to spin the log (which seems like the worst solution now).

    • @PrimetimeNut
      @PrimetimeNut 7 років тому

      Jamie Greenwood I'm confused... yes he can follow the chalkline with the bar, but there is no way for him to keep the saw at a consistent angle other than years of experience... doesn't really seem genius. He could hold the saw perfectly level, but chances are it is wavering around quite a bit and varies from cut to cut...

    @matttafakt 7 років тому +2

    I usually move shit like this with my special powers! Like a winch and a floor jack ! There are tools that would eliminate most of all the pre measuring and cutting for relatively cheap when it comes to time and labor. This is why they developed mills back in like before Jesus Christ and the Totem Carvers. Also, dulling that many chainsaw blades must not be very economical of fun to sharpen. Awesome vid tho. This is some good stuff.
