    The after class shaping part 2 1/2 -the front legs

    Worked on the front legs of the rocker today, and I must say this has been the hardest process yet. The starting point was on the right and off the grinder form is on the left: Once off the grinder had to use a #8 carving chisel to "bring out the round half" of the leg-the part that's not in...

    Maloof Rocker-The after class shaping Part 1

    Hey Folks- Let me just second what Jeremy said about John's (Woodguy1975) rocker class-phenomenal!

    I wanted to take some time to comment on Bill's latest handtool class I attended this past Saturday. Bill did another outstanding job of covering so much in such a short amount of time. Well, 8 hours of saw sharpening was as much as many of us may wish to tackle in one day :-) He opened...
