Dave,
Thanks for the idea. I had considered a folding school desk with the large top, but did not have any luck locating one. May when we get back to MN I will start looking again.

Mike,
I have used leather stamps, as Pat suggested, numerous times for background texture on wood carvings and have been pleased with the results.

As I am not a relief carver I can not comment on the selection, but I have been carving in the round for 12 years and I agree with your wisdom on buying individual tools that you need and getting...
Mike,
I do like the changes you made and the "poor mans vise" looks like it does the job.
Thanks for the info.

Jim,
A copy would be great if you do not mind. Your holding device was very clever. If I build a carving bench I may use your design for the holding device.
Thanks,

Mike,
The cane is outstanding. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Hi,
I am looking for plans/ideas for a portable or near portable carving bench. It should be one that I can sit on while I carve and be able to attach a carving vise.
Any and all ideas will be...
I saw a 2hp Penn State Dust Collector for sale on ebay. I have a real small shop. Any opinions on this unit would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Martin,
I will do my best to answer your questions. I have been carving for about 12 years and have had a Tormek for about 8 years. First off the grinding wheel will only be used for reshaping...

I have an older Delta 14" band saw with the small dust collector outlet. Are there any modifications that can be made to better collect the sawdust or is it something I just have to put up with. It...
Van,
Thanks for the good information. At this time, because I am a wood carver, my primary use of the band saw would be for making cutouts for carving. These are anywhere from 2x2x6 to 4x4x16....
Todd,
In reply to your suggestion, the saw is over 10 years old so it may deserve a new miter gauge and secondly I may not be using the saw in another 10 years. But, thanks for your insightful...
Thanks all that have replied so far. My needs so far would be for general cross-cutting and some miter cutting. I do not have other equipment that has a miter gauge that I can use on this band saw....
I purchased an older 14" Delta band saw and am in need of a miter gauge for it. I am new to this type and size of band saw, so any recommendations of type/brand and maybe place of purchase will be...
