First Project Done, And Some Questions

[electrathon]

Nice job, Now do it again, but better

Exactly. Do it again and you will get better at it. Try to improve each time. All of the sudden you will be doing great work.

Dont get discouraged or offended.

Lol, nope, not discouraged or offended! I came here to learn, and I appreciate very much all the council and suggestions. Actually I am pretty proud of my first effort.

I would like to get ahold of those corner cutters though if anyone knows an english site that had them...

Thanks again for all the help received here!

The site with the corner cutters is... in some foreign language that I cannot decipher (price etc.) is there an english equivalent?

Read the whole thread. Alternate site, currency conversion. Alternate woodcarving tools.

I think they are the same design tool.

Hi Electrathon.. I hope you don't think I'm criticising, as I certainly don't intend that, but I think there's some crossed wires somewhere along the line..

The links you've posted in the original thread and also these, above, lead to a completely different tool..

What you've linked to, looks like a curved wood plane, but what the original post by hunio showed on his first picture

and link,

http://handon.co.kr/...display_group=1

was a corner cutter for internal and external corners.

This is the tool that Bulletproof was asking for, in order to create neat corners..

I hope this clears things a little..

Bulletproof.. I've had a look on Google and so far I can't find an alternative site, selling those cutters..

I personally, would either try and message hunio for some extra details, or go with Bill's suggestion of using wood lathe gouges or having a couple of tools made up and selling one of them to help pay for the work..

Again..none of this is meant to offend..just to help..

Regards

Carving gouges are better, shorter length, 4 to 8" long roughly. Lathe gouges (except for miniature work) are 24" or more long. Carving gouges should be a little lower priced too.

Here are a couple links to carving gouges:

Sorry about that. Good example of me trying to stay up after I took medication that makes me very sleepy.

The price for that particular set is $90 and payment has to be wire transfer. Shipping through DHL would be around $50...so the whole thing is $140 ...not a bad set of tools...but $140 it's out of my league .

A 1in radius metal pipe cut in 4(lenght wise) will give 4(same size) similar tools..sharpen one end and put a handle on the other one and you are good to go.. Do that to a 1.5in a .75in and a .5in radius pipe and you have 4 sets of 4 different sizes corner cutters. Keep a set for yourself and sell the other 3...I am interested in one of them if it's done nicely !!!...lol...
