Needing suggestions! SMALL TOOLING STAMPS

[YinTx]

Sanch, my apologies, it appears I may have inadvertently hijacked your thread, lol.  I appear to have steered it from tiny tools to big horses heads and flowers!

I hope this helps. By the way, here is my feeble attempt from the class. It was my first time figure carving, and it is apparent, I need a lot more practice with the swivel knife.

Looks pretty good.  Linnell is like 6 hours up the road from me, perhaps I should take a trip and an extended class!

YinTx, 

Not fair! After all, I did provide Sanch the list of tiny tools we used, before I showed him my big horse head. 

Also you should go take a class from Jim.  It was worth the money to watch him work. Darn, he just makes figure carving look so effortless and down right easy! The man is one of the masters.  You should see him sign his name (much smaller than pictured) in his leather work. I didn't know anyone could have that much control with a swivel knife.

I took a 2 day figure carving class from Jim Linnell at my local Tandy last August.  Here are the figure carving tools he recommends:

"For the Figure Carving part of the class (if you don’t have these tools and don’t want to purchase new ones – using something that is close to these will work, too.):"

• #6896-00 - F896
• #6895-00 - F895
• #6891-00 - F891
• #6890-00 - F890
• #6902-00 - F902
• #6941-00 - F941
• #6976-00 - F976
• #6703-00 - P703
• #6900-00 - F900
• #6899-00 - F899
• #6898-00 - F898
• #6098-00 - A98

These are the catalog numbers, followed by the actual stamp number.

I hope this helps. By the way, here is my feeble attempt from the class. It was my first time figure carving, and it is apparent, I need a lot more practice with the swivel knife.
 

Thanks for the time you spent posting this!
