new dvd for just the beginner, a dvd to help the new carvers

hi folks all of us started woodcarving not knowing what we were doing, and finding information on what to use and what worked was not always easy, back 30 years ago, i learned from mostly books, we had no copiers, videos, computers, as we do today, but the beginner is still faced with now maybe to much info to know where to start, i am all for learning what you can, and the information for the most part is good stuff, but i decided to make a dvd just for the beginner, its the wooden shoe project, along with how to pick a knife, how to make a strop, basic knife cuts and how to use a knife, sharpening 1,2,and 3, and then new sharpening 1 and 2, i feel this video covers most of the basic information you need to start to carve, and a simple project to learn how to work with the wood, i happy with it, and also decided to make the cost of this as low as i can go, which is 15,00 why , i want folks to try it if they want to, and the only way to know if your going to enjoy this hobby is and i will ship it free to anyone in the usa and canada, ( sorry ) to try it, i wanted to make sure that anyone that wanted to try could afford to, its a video i am proud of putting together, i had fun, and most of all if some folks will start to carve and enjoy it as much as i do then it was all worth it, happy and safe carving, arleen

working on dvds and just answer a few questions

i have now about 14 different dvds, some have asked about the santa dvds, that i do from a block, i only have 2 of my 6 santas from the beginning on dvd, i plan to get them all on dvd over time, i trying my best to get things done, i know the show is 6 months away, but i feel that now is the time to get things done, with winter here, and not as much outside work to do on the farm. and remember there are no patterns for any of the carving done from a block , you just have to follow the videos, there isnt a profile to cut out on a bandsaw......all other projects will have a pattern(s) and dvd. hope this helps, as much as i enjoy the computer and carving what a wonderful thing to be able to do both! happy and safe carving to you all, arleen
